There are actually several possible prequels. Hm...

I will be editing this one, but I'm going to wait until early January. Considering I've written every day since October 11th when I starting this thing - what with NaNo and all - I may have to do SOME writing just to keep sane.

Or...is sane the right word? Perhaps no.

I admit, I'm kinda attached to the thread title, 'cause it almost fits what I'm working on.

So...one more day, I hope! Then it can be changed...

Sane's not the right word, but I know what you mean... it's glorious insanity.

The song I mentioned is a good Christian song about the dangers of pride and vanity. The title is Scriptural, even!

Sent you back your story... no rejection slip for you, missie!

And it's just wrong to like tormenting people who are in some way a part of yourself. Maybe I'm a mental masochist.

The Lust, the Flesh, the Eyes and the Pride of Life

Did AC/DC do a cover of that? :-)

I gathered it was a Christian song. ;-)

This stuff is rockin', though. I admit I like the not-quite-so-traditional stuff a lot. Rare Air and Wolfstone at the moment...

Thanks for the edit work! I'm saving that doc on my thumb drive to work through tomorrow. I should get to bed now!

Oh, I'm excited to be finishing! This is the first story I've actually written all the way through except for the NaNo stories, which don't really matter. Now if I can just keep a bit of that good feeling in reserve for when family members see it, which they almost certainly will - parts of it, at least.

Song? We're singing?

City streetlights
Even stoplights
Twinkle bright red and green...

The elevator/lobby musak in my Bellevue office has been playing a really odd set of various Christmas musak.

But one song I keep hearing just creeps me out. Remember the song "Santa, Baby"? I forget who sang it but it was a Marilyn Monroe type voice...

But *this* version is done in the same husky voice, but by David Lee Roth. Yowsers... nauseating.

Worms. Worms to infest your brain. Leeches to infest your bath. Scorpions to infest your shoes. And liberals to follow you home from work.

Good night, Rosie! Congrats!

I've added 11 thousand words to my story since I started working on it again - that's about a fifth of its current length...

I heard "Santa Baby" the other day, and didn't know who was singing it. I just Googled it, and it was Eartha Kitt!! Scary beyond all reason to think of David Lee Roth singing it! ;o)

Eartha Kitt sang the original version. Madonna recorded it later.
