Fast Friends & Fiction Failures

Our tech-savvy friend came over again tonight... just for dinner & Game of Thrones this time ~ wouldn't want him to think we only appreciate him for his cyber-talents

And in fact we don't. He's a wonderful guy & great fun to be around... if only he'd learn that while it's all very well to be able to go from 0 ~ 100 there are a lot of interesting numbers between those two that it's nice to slow down & savour. Be Here... Now

In the desperate search for other news ~ I think I'm falling out of love with a favourite author after about a dozen books. Her formula was once charming, then comfortably familiar, but lately boring. I think this latest one will be my last & a 2nd-Hand book store or stall will be my collection's next stop

Everybody has one good book in them ~ as the saying goes. Over twelve is pushing it. Or scraping it... whichever way you prefer your barrel metaphor

So you're saying that your favorite author is Laurel K. Hamilton, is that it? ;-) Maybe I should give it a go...

Alcohol is the best writing partner ever and I will hear no argument to the contrary. I was never good at writing comedy; somehow it only sounded good in my head when I said it, but on paper it looked cheesy. This could be because my sense of humor is, in fact, cheesy.
