Yes, I've been quiet...

Because it's taken much too much time to do web sites, and not enough Allie book is getting recorded. The little stinker keeps tacking the next scene one or two out, just dangling it out there.

While, in other fronts, the SPIDER GODDESS books have calmed down in the note-taking.

Oh, no -- I don't get off that easily. See, I haven't been on speaking terms with my subconscious for years. Turns out that, like my outer self, my inner self is quite happy to continue spinning stories and simply slot the stuff in the queue, waiting its turn.

Then the meds somehow bridge the gap, and we're talking again.

It was one thing to be dealing with bisexual cultures in a fantasy (in the 80 pages of %$@#$ notes.) Now, I've got a young architect who is both reluctantly gay and reluctantly a shaman. He has everything under control (he thinks) until he meets a youngish professor/linguist who has become a werewolf in the past 18 months. Or is he a werewolf? What if it's something else?

They assure me I get a mystery with this, too. And that they're 40%ers. I can handle their lives. Some of their friends, I may need some help. But them, piece of cake.

They seem to think I know a werewolf/shapeshifter. (Well, I know a few shamans.)

...We are going to work on Allie RIGHT NOW. We will FINISH the scene with the ravaging biscuit, no matter how many shifty professors show up.

Really.

Ahhhh, that sounds familiar. Subconscious talking is good, but it does need to wait its turn. Unless you could satisfy it with a chapter?

I will attempt to placate with a scene, probably late tonight. The condition, and being only on half meds this week, makes ADD a totally new creature. This is why I like long lead times on manuscript delivery.

"Keep on target."

Ravaging biscuits? That's gotta be way more interesting than shifty professors!

I figured it would burn out by now, but no -- Allie figured out how to feed the thing, and now a prof has scooped it up!

You know Allie, she'll try to either make friends or domesticate anything that moves....
