Right, there comes a point where you have to either move on, or just buy yourself a Klingon costume and go with it.

“Not dead yet!”

What terms?

I desperately want to sell an adult novel, but I want it to be a women's fic, which is my passion. I just have this fear that if I sold a paranormal, I'd be painted into that corner and wind up writing it indefinitely.

Which is RIDIC, of course, and well do I know it, but try telling that to my subconscious.

“Not dead yet!”

I loved compulsories and I'm glad ice dancing still has that portion.

Maybe not for long. There's some talk that after this season's meetings, the Compulsory Dance may be removed from the competitive schedule.

Because books.

You know my position. If this is a story you want to tell and can tell well, then it's a book you should write no matter what genre it falls into.

Now tagless for your comfort.

No worries, Kat! I always have the same mailing issues. We're not watching skating. DH introduced me to The United States of Tara and we're mainlining it.

“Not dead yet!”

If this is a story you want to tell and can tell well,

Yeah, see... it's that last part that's also giving me fits. Because I have absolutely NO confidence I can tell it well and with it being paranormal, I feel like it makes me look like some loser jumping on a bandwagon, especially since I haven't been able to sell in WF yet.

Brain iz stoopit.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Oh, oh! Speaking of mail, Kat, did you ever get our package of jean shorts? With its bonus item for Noah?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Barb, just write it! (Easy for me to say.) But publishing is fickle enough anyway; you should write what you damn well please, and maybe the market will come round to you.
 
Curling joke I didn`t make because Hank Hill wouldn`t approve: "Go hard!" "That`s what..."
 
Your work nemesis would drive me mad with that because I would be constantly forced to construct increasingly elaborate scenarios in my brain to make the initial statements work as sexual innuendo. Hee.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Wow, one of the Canadian hockey players (Shea Weber) hit a slapshot so hard it tore through the net in goal. They had to review it in slow motion. 103mph.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

ita, you are EVIL. I say this having watched Kidnapped. (Okay, I am watching the last parts of the last ep right now and HOLD ME!) eta: ((I want more. Now. NOW!)) (((No, I have no idea how. Just it can't be over. I am sure of this.))

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I almost did the splits on my way to work today. I hate it when there's a thin layer of snow on everything and you can't tell if there's ice underneath or not....
