And then your book was going to get made into a made for TV movie and you were going to pose on the insert wearing a mink fur coat and sitting on the hood of a ferrari. Sigh. Reality bites.Maiseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10852983445607331991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5656991086527049247.post-55393336884279044092009-11-30T11:25:15.414-08:002009-11-30T11:25:15.414-08:00You mean I can't just write one in an afternoo...You mean I can't just write one in an afternoon? What about that special computer program that would write it for you? No? Damn!

You read things you never talk about, even with your closest friends, and think 'yeah, it IS like that!'. I think that's one reason it feels personal when people are disdainful of romance.Maiseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10852983445607331991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5656991086527049247.post-74150110676212236802009-11-30T11:06:57.181-08:002009-11-30T11:06:57.181-08:00Double amen, Maisey!
