I read that yesterday, Susan, but I forgot to say anything. I think 100 pages was when I knew I wasn't going to stop writing it. Because that is a lot of time to throw away.
Mal: Can I come in? Inara: No. Mal: See? That's why I usually don't ask.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
Yep. This time around, 100 pages before the end of March means that barring some kind of disastrous life disruption, I'll have a rough draft by the end of the year, quite possibly with a month or two to spare.

Yay to Kristin, AND yay to Susan on reaching 100 pages.

Yeah, Kristin! I get "English Journal" and will be eagerly looking for your piece, and probably blabbing "Look! I know her! Isn't that cool?!"

Hee! Erin, I'll let you know when it's going to be published. I imagine it won't be for several months. Of course, the essay itself is incredibly tragic and doesn't exactly show me in the best light...maybe you should say, "I know her! She's much cooler than this!"
Thank you everyone. And YAYAYAYAYAY to Susan! 100 pages!

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Anyone want a plot?
Check this out. Honest to goodness true story.
I couldn't make this stuff up. People are genuinely weird.

Wow, deb. It's why such outrageous stories can be written, shit like that actually does happen.

I mean, does that little newspaper item lack one single damned element for the ultimate noir soap opera? A dom - married, no less, a bank account a Chagall, four bullets execution style....
Just, wow. If I wrote that kind of book, I'd be salivating, at least once I stopped laughing.

It begs Peter Sellers for the banker, or maybe, the husband. James Mason for the banker, if either of them were still around. And maybe a young Ursula Andress for the mistress/wife.
