Mal: So we run. Nandi: I understand, Captain Reynolds. You have your people to think of, same as me. And this ain't your fight. Mal: Don't believe you do understand, Nandi. I said 'we run'. We.

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

Endings are my great white whale; they task me, they task me.

Next chunk is up; this section is unfinished, but maybe tomorrow, the good Lord willing and the Russian spambot trolls don't rise?

Because books.

Speechless.

Wow, to be in the presence of the last True Artist writing today! This rationalization is so huge, it's bigger than Jared Padalecki. I sort of can't believe people let him publish that.

Congrats on the writing JZ.

After some note-making, thinking, and making an outline of plot adjustments, I think I'm about ready to start on Cog rev. 4.5.

Amy, that article is, I believe, part of a genre that is becoming more common. The confessional,where the confessor is admitting to having been an enormous asshole without realizing he is revealing he is STILL an enormous asshole. I say "he" because I have yet to read a female example of this, though I'm sure it happens.

Fewer women have the luxury of being enormous assholes.

And thus I want great books, books for our own time, written by those who have staked everything on literature, not just a couple of years in Iowa City.

Bless your heart, Alex. You're working for the New York Daily News. If you had staked everything, you'd be in a garret typing feverishly.

Isn't it priceless, Ginger? I was stuck between appalled and amused.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Enormous asshole is right, I couldn't even finish it.

If we are, the blow back is huge.In a way, I related to that guy, although I think I'm an honest reviewer and don't try to stick people with my baggage.I did think though that there are some thoughts that are not really meant for the public. Ginger, if I send you my MS is your profile address all right?

Yes, it is, Erika. I got distracted yesterday.

Ok, just checking. I bet I have some friends I have four e-mails for. I keep thinking I'll make everything current, but everything is more interesting than that. So, insent.
