The Earworm Ouroboros
Lani just e-mailed Krissie and me and said that she’d heard “My loves grows where my Rosemary goes” yesterday and now she can’t get out of her head.
Krissie e-mailed back with “It’s a Small World After All.”
So I sent them the lyrics to “The Lion Sleeps Tonight.” That chorus is a [...]
Consolation Shopping
I took Krissie and Lani to the airport today and then came home. I felt bereft as soon as they rolled their suitcases into the terminal so I went to the bookstore. The idea was to get a book on horror writing to see if there was anything in it I could [...]
38 commentsTuesday: One Damn Scene
I spent the whole day trying to fix that first scene. Lani and Krissie were kind enough to say I got it, but you know, at this point, the whole scene reads “blah blah blah” to me. Forget beats, the words don’t make sense. I think the window on this book is [...]
13 commentsMonday: Old Movies and More Yarn
So I think I’ve finally got a grip on Shar which makes me happy although I’m still struggling with the first scene. First scenes are the worst. I must have rewritten this scene twenty times already BEFORE it became the first scene. Now that it’s first (we cut the first two scenes), [...]
20 commentsDay Three (?) I Screw Up A Booksigning
I know, I didn’t post yesterday but Krissie did on D&G so it’s all there. And I forgot to threaten anybody with death tonight so there’s probably no new post on D&G. But the high points are, we did the podcast last night, and it was tremendous fun (here’s Lani)–
–and then we had [...]
14 commentsDay One: Krissie Arrives . . .
Krissie made it in at 10AM, so we went straight to iHop and celebrated. Then we came back home and gave her a bear that looked like Beastie and a balloon that played “Hot Stuff.” Fickle Milton spent the rest of the day leaping from Lani’s lap to Krissie’s lap and back again. [...]
20 commentsSeven Days with Lani and Krissie
I’ve been cleaning instead of blogging because I have houseguests: Lani and Krissie were due to arrive today to spend the week doing the last rewrite on Dogs and Goddesses and also a booksigning at Union Center this coming Saturday. Then O’Hare shut down for the day because of bad weather and Krissie [...]
20 commentsCall For Papers: Nothing But Good Times Ahead
As I told the Mysterious Laura, this always makes me feel all warm inside and embarrassed outside: Eric Selinger and Laura Vivanco are compiling a collection of essays on, uh, my work, and would like you to know about it. They’re calling it Nothing But Good Times Ahead:The Novels of Jennifer Crusie, and [...]
53 commentsRandom Sunday
I’m having one of those weeks where my brains are dribbling out my ears. No trauma, just delay after frustration after setback. Must be the Mars retrograde. So I have nothing for Argh except a bunch of ideas that are never going to turn into full posts. They’re the blog equivalents [...]

Gennita Low has done the Plagiarism Hoo-ra as Greek Theater.
You’re gonna laugh . . .
Addendum:
Then go read Meljean .
