We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

I guess I'm convicted as a well-shod, nicely made-up, bibliophilic criminal?

Or Mata Hari.

I've never had a threesome... could be fun with the right folks, but I think I'd choose flying.

The ridiculous thing about those searches is I spend twenty or thirty minutes researching facts for ... one sentence. ::facepalm::

Know that we readers appreciate it. When an author gets a detail wrong, it can throw me right out of the story and then I'm suspicious for the rest of the book

Oh, lord, yes. An hour later I look up from some site on Renaissance history and I say to myself, "I only wanted to know when Leonardo finished The Last Supper."

Perfectly acceptable. I have spent quality time looking things up for a throwaway joke. Sometimes the lion's share of the research I do doesn't even make it into the story, but it informs the plot and characterization.

Post-its have a new purpose: blinder so I can briefly read.

I know I'm not supposed to swim today. But I feel guilty anyway.

Also? I really hate the texture of my ceiling.

HOLY CRAP FOOTBALL.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I don't really watch football, but whoah.

Me either, Tom. It's on at the laundromat.
