It Takes A Village To Write A Novel, Sometimes, Part One

Tweet

MyLot Exclusive #21 I went metal detecting early this morning while it was still cool. That lasted about an hour and now my outdoor thermometer says it's 81 (That's 27.2222222 Celius for those of you who haven't yet upgraded to our superior measuring system) but it feels much warmer. According to the Internet, it's 85, which is even worse. Even if you're still using Celius. And that's OK because I really wasn't finding anything worth talking about. "Garbage" is how most treasure hunters would describe it. So I came home and I was planning on taking the rest of the day off. Then I ran into Drusilla, my Agent. She said, "Chapter Three isn't going to write itself, you know." She was talking about my latest novel. And was she right? I say, just because Chapter Three hasn't written itself yet, it doesn't mean it won't. But few people agree with me and the fewest of them seems to be Dru. After a short argument, which I won, I decided to celebrate my victory by coming in here and doing exactly what she wants. But first, because I always do what I want to do, despite what anyone else says, I'm going to write this post. Well, I'm going to write these two posts, because Style Manual, my Editor-In-Chief, is telling me that this is too long for one entry. So, instead of arguing, I'm going to skip straight to the Victory Party by calling this Part One. Part Two will up be up shortly.
