It's not nice to mess around with gators. They get peevish and snappish. "Tick tock. Tick tock," said the croc. "Snick snack. Snick snack," snapped the gator. I want stuff about Wild Ride!

As for myself, I'm drumming my fingers here, and holding off the next Limerick, which is hard for a gal named Kelly this time of year. . . . Yeehaw, Robena!

As for myself, I’m drumming my fingers here, and holding off the next Limerick, which is hard for a gal named Kelly this time of year. . . .

I'd love to be a fly on the wall at a brainstorming session between you and Jenny. BTW I got a request for the full ms. of Saving Sarah. The editor I met at SDSU conference liked the first five chapters and just requested the rest last week. You helped me brainstorm that one at your last retreat. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

I am a giant dry cell battery and my dial goes to eleven (11). Zap! Where'd I leave my leather duster? Surprise is not my only advantage, BCB.

Where’d I leave my leather duster?

Who, me? Pffft. Don't be ridiculous. I'm about as threatening as raw cookie dough. That was me being <i>nice</i>. 8) See? Smiling and everything. Just offering to help Bob make sure his equipment is working properly. Some guys worry about things like that. Besides, I don't believe in making threats. You lose the element of surprise. When you're almost never stronger or smarter or faster or meaner than anyone else -- well, you can't afford to give up your only advantage. Threats? Who, me? Pffft. Don’t be ridiculous.

Threats. Nice work, BCB. Of course, websites have software that locate the source of comments, right? So, like, if we bug him enough, he could drop a Daisy Wheel right down our chimneys. Well, my neighbor's chimney. But there would be little plastic letters all over the block. Crunch. no, wait. Numbers crunch. Letters squish. Ooh. Threats. Nice work, BCB.

Do any of them deliver? Hey, that's great you found a phone that does stuff other than make phone calls. Probably they could just delete that feature from your model. Since the rumour is that you never actually, you know, speak. It sure sounds like you're pleased with the internet access and the ability to receive email anytime, anywhere. So, should we all take that as an invitation to send you email? You know, just to help you test out the new phone. Each of us could send several a day. Maybe forward all the jokes and funny pics we get? Oooh, and the spam. Oh, it's no trouble. Really. We're helpful like that. And nice. I'm thinking this could give "incoming" a new definition. Unless you want to distract us with details about the new book? I wonder . . . do you have blog comments set up to go into your email?

That's good. It's important to be flexible with your writer superstitions. So, this time, no blogging about the WIP. That’s good. It’s important to be flexible with your writer superstitions.
