In fact, I don't want her anywhere near anything with his essence.<br /><br />I informed her last night in front of witnesses that I had one major rule when she began dating in five years: The boy must wear a shirt at all times. There were daggers in the eyes. I needed "Essence of Bella" to salve the pain. <br /><br />Count me in for the drawing for the book. I'll be OK. My dad told me Santa, the Easter Bunny, AND the Tooth Fairy didn't exist all in the same sitting. Although I still bear the scars, it made me a better man. <br /><br />Excuse me, I'm late for therapy…D.R.

I learned last year that there is no Santa, so I'm good.<br /><br />What will I be doing for Christmas? I will NOT be checking my email every five minutes to see if I've heard back from an agent who is now reading my manuscript. (Four agents and not ONE of them could have given me an early Christmas present? *Sigh*) Instead, I will be working on my new WIP in the event that they all really do hate my latest and greatest.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
