Not to sound vain, because despite playing him on the internet I'm not House, but my editorial work has shown me that just because everyone has a story to tell doesn't mean they have any idea how to tell it. This apparently does not come in the Special Spirit gift box.
Fred: It's the pictures in my mind that are getting me. It's like being stuck in a really bad movie with those Clockwork Orange clampy things on my eyeballs. Wesley: Why imagine? Reality's disturbing enough.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Is the House thing online, or, more to the point, where can I read it?

I could send you a copy to your profile...you won't see the cool format and stuff, but you could read it...

Sample chapters, website stats, and page mock-ups have now been sent to the Nice Agent Lady. Now the nervous waiting begins. What if it's crap? What if she reads it and says "Are you kidding? No publisher in their right mind would make an offer on this!"

I don't think that'll happen, Jilli.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Jilli, did you ever get to read my feedback? I'm hoping it was remotely useful.
And even without changing a word, you aren't going to get that reaction from the agent, believe me. Breathe.

I did, and it was quite helpful. Thank you!

Thanks, erika!
Pretty sure you don't have to worry, Jilli.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Me too, Jilli

I did say I was going to drabble on the On Holiday topic...
Anniversary
Poolside at the Bellagio, not yet 9 am and it's 94 degrees. My husband snores gently upstairs.
I'm slathered in 45SPF. I have iced coffee. I have two enormous towels, from the pretty cabana boys. I have a chaise and an umbrella. I have my iPod.
Relax, escape the daily grind - isn't that why I'm here? I take a fast swim in the chilly water, and stretch out, noise-cancelling headphones cranked high. I close my eyes. Relax, escape...
Piano, your voice, my voice, filling my ears, heart, eyes, memory, the Nevada morning.
Relax? Escape? Maybe someday.
But not today.
