Lame Update

When I'm not at work, I'm pretty thoroughly lost in the book, rarely emerging to visit "reality". So, sorry about the lack of new material, but the book is holding me hostage!

Today, I'd like to ask you all to visit Writecrastination to read my update. Plus, I've put two very important links over there, asking for your support for two writing friends! One is on the verge of winning a very prestigious writing competition (one of TWO finalists!), which will include a publication deal. She needs your votes, before March 29! The other is for a friend who has published an erotic story collection, which I've already bought, read, and thoroughly enjoyed. If you like unique erotica, I hope you'll take a look.

By the way, all the Cody-related stuff I've been posting lately is totally research! I want the band in my book to have a very Ragweed-esque feel, so I had to hunt down the details to make it feel real. I found a couple of interviews done on their bus, which was important because several key scenes in the book take place on my fictional band's bus. (I'm still trying to forget about the Star Wars sheets, though.) I found a great web interview that chronicled the timetable of the pre-show preparations. I've been reading a lot about guitars, and even had to do things like look up the sunrise/sunset times in that part of Minnesota during the time frame of the book.

A writer's work is never done!
