You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.

Kenny loves Jamie Oliver's second cookbook; the third one, NSM. He's made Thai curry and fish pie, and one night during a sleepover I stumbled out and found three of them doing a classic fry-up, giggling and arguing about the tomatoes.

DH, OTOH, is perfectly capable of ruining frozen pizza.

Wanna see the cover!

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

Amy, you haven't seen it?

It's gorgeous. All I need is permission from Marina Druckman in St Martins art department, and it's everywhere.

I adore it. It's generating masses of good response, too; I actually suggested the basis for the concept, the peeling back of layers to reveal the story behind the song.

So very cool. I will sit here and beam on your behalf.

What do you lot do in here, anyway?

We workshop to each other, and ask advice, and whimper for betas, and share news, and talk about writers groups and WIPs and whatnots.

Hmm. How well does it work, given the Buffista propensity to talk things to death?

It's the back of the postcards we're having done. We laid out the blurbs from the reviews, onto a mousepad.

Weirdly, in here, it tends to be more to the point: questions, answers, and genreal support. Rather focussed, oddly enough.

You should have been here the day I happened to be on the phone with Marlene about life in general, and Susan posted that she'd finished the book, and I commented on it, and Marlene asked about it and then asked to see it.

I wish I had been here -- I can picture Susan's face!

My husband is playing ROTK trailers.
