Harry Potter, Lois Lane, and April

Last night my brother asked me about my novel, and he remembered my character names, and the name of the town, and silly things like that even though he hasn't read it in probably two years and it's changed immensely since then. Awwwww that gives me the warm fuzzies like nothin else. Then we talked about Harry Potter. We both agreed the movies need more Nevil Longbottom, and Luna Lovegood. I'm really going to miss him when he ships out.

Still no news from crows toes. I need a new magazine to pester with stories. I also need to write up a query now that I've got the first thirty pages clean and shiny. Well, aside from spell check. Which is always the easiest thing. Occasionally the most painful, too. But that's because I can't spell my way out of a paper bag. But neither can Lois Lane, so I'm not worried.



Dang I just realized Dane actually named the octopus in my story. Of course he remembers Mahogany! He was always better at naming things than I was. Maybe I should ask him to title all my short stories.
