Jay is very funny about the stages of a developing writer. Of course, I have not experienced any of those stages, not at all. Nope. Not me.

Actually, my writing quite literally began with an “I can do better than that” moment. And what’s funny about that is this: It was a nice little trilogy about a witch. I enjoyed the whole thing all the way through–until the ending. The ending was so wrong, so utterly not what I wanted as a reader, I was furious. “Oh no. That’s not how it’s done. That’s not how it’s done AT ALL.”
So I started writing…and writing more…and going through all those stages… And now, just yesterday, I get to the end of Demonhead and realize, WTF? This isn’t how it’s done. Clearly, I haven’t a clue either.
Well. If I ever figure out how it actually *is* done, I’ll be sure and let you know.

I was down another half pound this morning, though since I’m using a different scale, that is not scientifically reliable. Even so. I’ll take it. 🙂

And tomorrow starts Jay’s second round of chemo. So today we are pretending to be normal–lunch with a friend, dinner out, working on our novels. La la la, nothing to see here.
