How old were you when you lost your mother, Sail? I was 19 when my father died.
Also, I can kill you with my brain.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Oh, Sail. That one hits hard.

I've been doing some research for Afterwards (my post-NFA fic), and I decided to use Windsor as a location. So I decided to hit the net to see what might be some cool features about Windsor. Lo and behold, I find a whole lot of stuff about leylines and such. Perfect!
I am greatly impressed with my subconscious and it's ability to find the perfect thing to slot into a story. I'm not sure if I have a terrific subconscious plot hook sorting system or if I'm just lucky.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Hooray! I got my notes! It's not so bad as I thought, too.

Allyson, that's wonderful!
(oooh, I wonder. Since you got your notes, does this mean I'll finally get the feedback notes from my agent? Gosh, that would be nice.)
But of course they're not as bad as you thought. Because you're far, far too hard on yourself.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
