Thanks, Sail!

Someone please remind me that I DO know what I want this YA paranormal book to be, and that writing a chapter outline (even a vague one) will be helpful to me AND my agent? Because ... just because. In other words, I need hairpats.

(Not to mention there's another, completely cracktastic book idea that I need to do more work on, and oh, I should maybe start writing the third installment of the Steampunk Tales story.)

Because books.

This is me reminding you.

How about you tell me I can actually finish this scene I'm working on? It is SLOW going tonight, man.

I know you can! C'mon, if I was able to come up with an idea for the cracktastic book, you can finish this scene easy-peasy. Go, go, go!

Coding and Sleeping

Can someone give me 28 hour days so I can actually have time to write down all the stuff queued up in my head?

Because books.

My magic wand is sadly missing, Gud.

Shoot. Off to squeeze in a bit of time between laundry and paying bills. I spent the day painting the house which appears to be in need of a second coat.

Of course! It's mind-control gingerbread!

(Don't mind me, I just figured something out for this book.)

“Not dead yet!”

Finally.

Tamed the difficult chapter beast. Took too freakin' long to write 1500 words, but it was writing. And at least it's down so I can move on.

In theory.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Because it makes me laugh:

It's been 25 hours, a couple sleeping pills and uncomfortable seats. You chased the bags in the chaos, diving through the throngs unaware of personal boundaries.

You've survived, and marveled at, the van dodging a leftside chaos of sleeping cows, dogs, rickshaws, motorbikes, the boring familiar autos and unwary pedestrians.

You've showered and changed, slapped on a breath of makeup.

"I didn't recognize you!"

Pause.

"You're really lovely!"

Raised eyebrow. "You really know how to flatter a girl. I must have looked that rough?"

A stammer. "I..."

"Your feet are so far down your throat, I can't see your knees. Just tell me about how gorgeous I am and buy me a strong drink."

It works.

Welcome to the new you.
