The hubby is sick, sick today, so we didn't risk seeing the in-laws and I got to write a bunch. I'm nearly done with the shapeshifter thing, and HMOWK is coming along, too. I'm getting very close to some things I'm quite proud of, there.

But, there's this thing bouncing around in my head. It's been there since I was a teen, probably, in one form or another. A mystery sort of thing. I do love a good mystery. I can sit and untangle knots or do logic problems for hours, and that is why I like a good mystery, I think. Never expected to have an idea for one, even though I knew that these characters I've had in my head for years belonged in a mystery novel. I'm just sort of remembering being a middle-class kid in an upper-crust sort of university, and all the little abrasive edges of things that flew around socially. Throw in some sweet Sapphic longing and a dead soccer player, and frak me if I don't have a mystery novel boiling away in the hind brain.

Crap. It's like I'm playing Genre Bingo in here.

Go for the mystery!

LOL! I have to finish a few things first, but it's definitely on its way. :)

I say go for it. Hell, I say go for ANY story that suddenly informs your brain that it exists and has a decent plot. It's sometimes a rare occurance!

I'm making notes, but I really need to finish a couple things here first. ;)

Asimov played genre bingo, and your characters are way more compelling than his.

Thank you, my dear! If it's okay with you, I'd like to give you the last few chapters of the first Shift Draft sometime after the holidays, so you can show me where the holes are. If you don't mind, that is. I trust your instincts and depend upon your honesty :D

If only you could trust my ability to get back to you in a reasonable amount of time! Sure, send it to me.

Well, I've hardly been timely about writing the thing, so I guess we're only even. ;) Also, it may be a few weeks before I have it polished up for you.
