Thanks, Jen! I'm still catching up (both on reading your story and on writing mine!), but I'm enjoying it so far.
Clare finally went to bed. Took me forever to finish her introduction and I'm kinda sick of her. Now I have to write Justin, which should be a lot more fun. He's a studio musician in Nashville and doesn't have a death in his past. Woo-hoo! I shouldn't have had two characters with tragic histories, but really one was more bittersweet than tragic so I thought I could get away with it. My sister tells me it's stupid, though. Oh well...too late!
I am so behind here at the Hole! It's hard to keep up when I'm not at a computer much of the day. I applied for the job I told some of you about, and I'm half hoping I get offered it and half hoping they never contact me. I think I'd enjoy the job, but there is a definite beaurocracy there, which bugs me. For example, I submitted my letter of application and all that in the personnel office, and they told me they would bring it before the "search committee", which immediately sets sirens blaring in my mind. I detest committees! I shouldn't be so opinionated, I guess...
Sub-plot, I need a sub-plot...
