First of all, you should read Kris’ post today, which does tie in with my post on ebooks. My only disagreement with her is how fast midlisters with less name will sell in ebook. Neither of us has an answer, of course, we’re both writing, and we’ll both do our best to survive this. In fact, if I had to bet on a survivor, Kris would top the list.

Now, various random facts:
– Yesterday my attic window showed up open behind the cat boxes. No idea how or why. The roof is not accessible from anywhere outside and it takes more than cat strength to open that window. Oh, also at that time, none of my family had gone near it. Vampires, I’d guess.
– As I lose weight my feet size are shrinking. I’m down two whole sizes. Fat Feet is a GREAT name for a rock band.
-How is it possible to have TWO whole novels in your head, all ready to come out, and not be able to make your fingers type? Head>desk. If I’m absent for a couple of days, I’m putting all my energy into getting my fingers to obey me.
-One of my cats thinks he’s a teapot. Guess which.
“Fat Feet is a GREAT name for a rock band.”
You’d better trademark it soon, since Little Feet is already taken.

Blackmail your characters into taking over. Imagine a new character, You know, one of those women who love to gossip, and can make a scandal out of any slight hint. Yes, her. What did she just mis-hear? See? Plonk her down with a crony and turn her loose on your character’s reputation.
“Darling, I swear, she walked out of that alley pulling down a little black stretchy dress, and there was nothing, _nothing_, underneath!” She sighed theatrically. “I was sitting there spying on my Ex, for an hour before that, and nothing but a big black cat went in.”
Sooner or later Kyrie will show up to defend her reputation. Or Tom. Or perhaps Rafiel will arrest her for loitering or something..
