See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Congratulations, erika! That's fantastic!

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Let us know which issue it'll be in - I know I'll be buying a copy and I'm sure I won't be the only one.

Oh, yeah, especially on b.org...I couldn't have done it without y'all. You can't tell me it doesn't matter when editors are women, because I sent this around and some of the more guy-ish crime magazines did not care for it. Of course, there was not one moment at a strip club or where anyone snorts coke off a shapely female ass.(Although sometimes that makes me laugh if the chicks are models, because he'd probably do better with a straw, like a normal junkie. But I digress.)

I'm at chapter 48 out of 57 in my current wordcount-killing revision. I'm at 128,000 words and it looks like I'll be able to land this at 125,000-126,000 words. I'll need to tighten down about 2,000 - 3,000 words and I think I'll be at a reasonable wordcount for a fantasy novel.

Thanks, Sox...having a little Peggy Olson moment right now.(Without Pete to knock me up, I should say.)
