Wooooot! I got crack-a-lacking tonight and finished my little first attempt at a novel! Yay me! So it’s printing (off my printer…not off a publisher’s press, in case you were wondering) as I write this and I feel compelled to give my first book stats.

Juliet (to Ava): Jack! Jack! Jack!
Ava: There he is! Let’s get him!
Juliet: Watch out! He’s going to KILL YOU!
Me: Hey girls…who’s Jack?
Juliet: Only I can see him. He’s invisible. He kills people! (Maniacal grin on her face…)

Listen up, my liberal friends. I’m talking to you. You’ve had a good week and I offer my congratulations. I’m no Democrat, but the Republicans lost their minds a few years ago and I wasn’t sad to see them go. I would have preferred they were replaced by tax-cutting Libertarians, but [...]
