I literally laugh at all the different names they come up with. Once a year, I order shower gel from Bath & Body Works for stocking stuffers and because I splurge at Christmas when they have a good sale... the names crack me up. Moonlight Serenade? Really? It's freaking soap.
It's not even in this chapter! That's what I get for going over Aaron's edits, sending it to Danilo, going through Gnomies's next chapter which she slung together and trying to deal with another goddamn pump issue at work. Stupid lake pump. Stupid pool pump. Stupid lift station.
I'm not taking the bait and listening to that. I'm sure if it has to do with coconut it's annoying AF and I don't need that kind of earwig running through my head all day.
1st on 4!
I'll give you this...
Caleb doesn't run far. He was overwhelmed and didn't know how to react. His head will not have to be surgically removed from his ass.
Asa is a strong character. He cam handle Caleb. My loveable geek just sent back his thoughts on chapter 4 and predicts a ton of comments. I'm glad I'm posting on Saturday and not a regular work day (I do have to run an open house but no one usually shows up)
I'm lucky in that I don't deal with depression on a daily basis, nor have I experienced anything close to what Caleb and some of my other characters have. Occasionally I get hit with the blues, but thankfully not too often.
Family however? My husband and younger son have been hit hard. Especially my son. It's the basis for anything I write for my characters. I wish it wasn't this way but it's what life has thrown my way. Writing is an outlet for me.
I didn't even think about trying to sugar coat this and hide it. Too much other stuff needs to happen. I couldn’t waste time having these two dance around each other.
