Dear Blog...

Dear Blog,
Here you sit wasting away waiting for my next post. Sorry its taken me so long. You know however that life intrudes. Birthday parties, crazy husbands, relatives, and the fact that a six foot tall nutcracker is still sitting in my living room staring me down every night must be the cause of my neglect.

My laptop died. Video card or some such mechanical device that I cannot fix crashed my computer.

I have a nail the size of a quarter in my front right tire which I haven't gotten fixed yet.

The house IS clean which in retrospect is a good thing. At least now I can see the floor in the kitchen and that is clean as well.

The work is progressing, on the story that is, I like it. I'm wrapped up in it. If you don't hear from me for a few days you'll know why. I'm lost somewhere between Charleston and Wales with a couple of characters that are stranger than I dreamt them. This story moves. It has meat. People die. [These people really needed to die...so I think that's okay.] I've got wizards and witches, and one truly half insane fae. Where in the hell do I come up with this stuff? I don't know. I really don't know but I'm blaming it all on Gerard Butler. If he wasn't such a good acter, well maybe I should be thanking him for the inspiration.Okay. Thank you Mr. Butler for the inspiration. I'm sure their are a lot of women on the planet who are echoing the same sentiment!
