Sex & Shenanigans

So I think most people don't get published by a real publisher or even if they do, don't make a ton of money. But there is something kind of awesome about just creating something for the sake of creating something. Three novels is a huge deal. Congrats.
I know the business well enough to know I wouldn't be making any real money. But to actually get published? That is a dream. That someone else could hold something I made, that they could enjoy it. That a story could make some iota of difference, even if just to one person reading it.

And technically, I finished my first novel, but I don't count it among these. It was terrible, and not my voice at all. More a bad Tolkien pastiche. Make that a horrible Tolkien pastiche. But I sat on the beach and had a lovely time burning it page by page in a bonfire. I finished it, that was the point. But it was better off in flames, trust me.
 
Depends, apparently I'm supposed to abstain from O's for 4-6 week after surgery. If you hear of a strange case of spontaneous human combustion sometime in August, it was me.
Will have my earbuds in ... that's going to be one huge explosion after that waiting period 😈😈😘
 
A question to my American friends in this thread.

Is it true what they show us in the movies, where you all keep your shoes on in the house, even on the couch? Or is that Hollywood malarkey?
It's regional. I actually have a little sign on the table by the door telling people to kick off their shoes (in an inviting way). Some states it is normal to ditch the shoes, some places it isn't, and some places it depends on the family.

I have a shoe and coat rack in my entranceway. I got it so I could have a place for my outside coat and my inside hoodie. Blame Mr. Rogers. He changed to his inside tennis shoes rather than just socks, but he was ordered like that.
