2732 words down, 47268 to go!

It doesn't sound so impressive in those terms.

Nonetheless, I felt something today that I haven't felt in years - empathy for a character. I mean, the real thing, that symbiotic co-passion that you feel when you suddenly become the character. My gut twisted when her gut twisted. I felt embarrassed when she felt embarrassed. It was a great sensation. Maybe I should give her a spa scene because I sure could use a massage.

And while you are at it, geive her a hot love scene and a little shoe shopping...
I love that, when you blush for the character...
I think you've got a live one, darlin'

I don't know about a hot love scene. I'd probably have to go read a book to remember what that would even entail. However, I'll definitely give her the ability to do kung-fu in heels because that would be super-sweet.

I can do that, and it is super-sweet except when I stumble and scrape my knee because I've had several shots of tequilla first...

seriously... that is the story of my life: no grand gesture without a nasty spill to immediately follow...

On the bright side: I guess it keeps me humble...

xxoxoxo
How is it coming?
