Short story, -t?
Well, you'd better not be thinking what I think you're thinking, because my answer is the same as always — no threesomes unless it's boy-boy-girl. Or Charlize Theron.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I was planning on using one of my old WIPs (that I'd like to work on some more/re-work, whatever) to learn how to use Scrivener, Sox. And probably will, eventually, but I'm having a hard time carving out the time right now.

Because books.
I took out a bunch of books from the library for research, and handwrote three legal pages of a scene today. Whoo.

Coding and Sleeping
Turned around latest edits from agent and worked on reducing the word count. Things are looking good and I think we'll finally be ready for submission before too long. It's been an educational process in a good way.

Plotty people, I need some thoughts here. As you may or may not know, I'm writing a novel about a soul musician, his friend's murder, and, as a sort of B story, he's trying to track down a sort of "forgotten" concept album he worked on long ago that the hard-core geeks are always asking him about(Picture if Marvin Gaye's "Here, My Dear" and Brian Wilson's "Smile" had an album-baby) He's about to ask a former crush if she has it, but she ends up smacked around with a rifled hotel room because it's a mystery and tropey as that is, it doesn't hurt to have a second act of violence in Act Two...however, aside from that, the muses didn't leave much of a motive...why might someone do that?

Does the album have any sort of secret coded messages in it? Or maybe a song with hidden meanings, like it's really about an old flame who doesn't want that song heard by ANYONE EVER?

Could be.(I guess I have to stop blaming Raymond Chandler's drinking for how "The Lady In The Lake" turned out...I'm very sober right now and lose the thread ALL THE TIME.)If you don't know the story, apparently they were working on the script for "Lady", and they called Chandler all frantic..."So, who killed her?" They say Chandler said he didn't know.

That sounds exactly like the Big Sleep story. That dude never knew who killed anyone.

I don't think that that was ever the point for him, no, but now I'm wondering if he did it twice, or if we just heard it about different books.
