(a) Better than Bet Me? No frakkin way. My love for Min and Cal knows no boundaries. But I will pace anxiously until it comes out to see if it proves me wrong. (b) I LOVE the behind the scenes stuff and the conflict box is awesome. I have so much trouble showing the conflict. I see it so clearly in my head – this will help me put it on the paper. So thank you (again!). (c) I’ve given up looking for candy the kids dropped and have moved on to the candy my kids HIDE – I’m pretty sure I’ll be dancing in hell with the rest of the pj-wearing ladies here

Well, reserve champion in the Cuddy In-Hand class at the Horse of the Year Show was a lovely grey hunter mare called Little Alice. Will that do?

People who find candy on the floor must not have dogs. I turned my back on cupcakes fresh out of the oven for five minutes, and as the nursery rhyme goes, “And then there were none.” Not even a crumb. That’s how I know it was the dog. If it had been the husband, there would have been crumbs.

Perhaps you could put a time crunch on when she is beginning her new life. For instance, having a predetermined wedding date or a date in which she is moving with her fiance that conflicts with her taking the job. Taking the job prevents her from moving forward with her goals and jeopardizes her relationship with her intended, thereby creating an opportunity for North to win her back, or, at the very least, realize he wants her back. Set the date, Jenny. That’s my suggestion.

Oh, I know I’ve had a bloodless coup in the works for awhile now… I mean… *shifty eyes*

Come back in a couple of weeks? As if we didn’t set up camp ages ago. Those who pick up candy off the floor together (in spirit) stick together. Just like the two Jolly Ranchers I found under the dining room table.

I can tell you when I get the go-ahead on it. Come back in a couple of weeks.

Hmmmn…. a whole year to wait. What should I do in the meantime?

“A year to go around the world! A whole twelve months of scenes and curious happenings in far-off foreign lands! You have thought of doing this, almost promised yourself that when you got old enough, and rich enough, and could “spare the time,” you too would go around the world. Most of us get old enough; some of us get rich enough; but the time! the time! – to spare the time, to cut loose from goods and lands, from stocks and dreary desks, quit clients, patients, readers, home and friends – ay, and our enemies whom we so dearly love! Full many a promise must be broken and few the voyagers round the world.”
- D.N. Richardson, “A Girdle Round the Earth”, 1888

Can we ask the nature of this new thing? Well, I know we can ask, but can you tell us the nature of this new thing?

(-: Sorry, I forgot my smileys. I thought you were kidding, yes, and thought I’d join in the fun. Always wanted to write for the Bulwer-Lytton contest someday, I did.

(-: No rush. There’s also Wild Ride coming out in the meantime.

Yes! I wasn ‘t feeling the love for either of the first two “Give back the checks – OK, but take this job” conflict. I can get into this story now.

Strop is putting pressure on me, but nope, not yet. Next is this new thing I want to try and then after that is the sequel to AKMG, about Alice, the eight-year-old girl, all grown up called Spooky Alice. Except everybody hates that title and I could have changed my mind by the time I get my next project done.

We’ve got Wild Ride coming out in March, don’t forget. So, it’s not like a year of Crusie drought. That would be bad. I remember going through a rough patch health-wise around 2003, and thinking how much better I’d feel I just had a new Jenny Crusie book to read. .:

Strop, can it be true? Is You Again next up?

If you never went behind the scenes I wouldn’t know half the stuff I do now. It’s made me a better writer. A more sensitive reader. So now when I come across a good book I have more respect for the author ’cause I know it is rocket science to get it right. Sprinkled with magic of having the right characters show up at the right time.

The Source! I like that! I’m not raiding my baking supplies, I’m going to the source. I feel much better about myself already (despite the four day old clothes!)
