Angel: He is dead. Technically, he's undead. It's a zombie. Connor: What's a zombie? Angel: It's an undead thing. Connor: Like you? Angel: No, zombies are slow-moving, dimwitted things that crave human flesh. Connor: Like you. Angel: No! It's different. Trust me.

Trust my rage

I was at Border's today and this guy at a table stopped me. Iw as trying to avoid him, but then he started telling me that the book he had on the table was his novel, his third, and it made me start thinking about all my wonderful Buffista authors, and how hard you all work, and so I bought a book. I'll probably read it, since I bought it, although I'm not sure it's my type. But maybe it will be awesome, so there's that.

I'm still plugging away on 55. I got it done, but my wife thought I got one of the characters wrong and I saw her point. So more rewriting. I expect this section will need more massaging in the next revision. I hope to get past it this week.

I've started to read your script erika, though I'm not far enough in for opinions yet.

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

Sam has some interest from a couple of publishers, but I'm not putting any eggs in any baskets and trying to remain zen.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Ohhmmmm. (zenning with Allyson and Sam)

“Not dead yet!”

So, got bitch-slapped with a new story idea (before I've finished the last MS) last week. After lots of hemming and hawing and whinging about how scary and different and did I mention scary? it is, I'm diving in, feet first.

Even compiled a soundtrack, which is the surest sign of my intent.

Wish me luck.

Good luck Barb! I hope the writing goes well.

I'm hoping I'll get unstuck soon. I must vanquish this chapter so I can get past this revision.
