get thee behind me, new story!


Something happened, but not what you think. I haven't even written one word. Okay, I did write down the title, but no sentences. Not even a plot sketch. You should know she's begging me to open a new Word document, but I can't. I won't. Not until this book is done.

I was bored, and we started to fool around. I Googled her name to see if anyone had it yet. I think she and I would be exclusive.

You want to know what happened? You think I should just 'fess up and tell you?

All right. I made a book cover with her name on it. There. I told you. Are you happy now? You want to know what program I used? How much time I spent creating it? No. What good will that do to tell you? All right. I used Paint.net. And it took me about 15 minutes.

I know. I know. I should be editing. I will. I promise.
Can you forgive me? I promise not to write her until this other story is finished. What? You don't want me to even look at her picture? You want me to delete it?

I'm sorry. I can't. You'll just have to trust me.

I'm really sorry. I hope you can forgive me in time.

unfaithfully yours,

NNOOOOO! Say it ain't so!!!! You're already up to your knees (right?) in the NANO project. You can't divert now. It's already the 17th - either way, you have only 1/2 month to go, and then you can give her your full attention :)
