I asked Marie, my most loyal fan, to see if she could guess who “Melina” has a crush on in the book I’m currently working on. She guessed right, damn it, so I guess I’m not yet as surprising as I would like to be. At least I surprised her with Melina’s history.

Another friend of mine (Alison) said, “The part where Melina journaled about her real mom (the police/gun part) seemed a little stiff or too sudden or something but then again it fits with Melina’s personality.”

One of the staff on the UK Author site emailed me to inform me I had some nice comments on the Stacey/Riana story, no doubt in hopes of me buying a membership, but I just thanked her and simply checked out the comments instead that came in another email.

To answer some questions now – yes, they always check on sites like Copyscape and Dupecop for plagiarism when you post/submit stories. Yes, I really know quite a bit of Italian, but even more Spanish and ASL. Which is better, my Italian or Portuguese? That’s a tough one because while I’ve put more time into the Italian, Portuguese is more similar to Spanish. My worst two languages right now are German and French. No, I did not grow up in the desert. I grew up in New England. Read my fucking bio! No, none of these characters are based on people I know. At least not so far anyway. Will I always live in Cali? Probably. If not, then maybe Nevada.

Yesterday turned out to be a quiet day, but the weather is still shitty. It was nice for a couple of days, but now we’re back to cold, wet weather that just never ends. As I said to Tom, how much you wanna bet it wouldn’t be so unusually cold if our main heater hadn’t blown out?

The propaners are coming tomorrow. Supposed to be anyway.
