Skidoo

[rispacooper]

Did you know the number 23 was old slang for get lost? I mean, 23 skidoo, despite its murky originsis always understood to mean Beat It. But 23 on its own also has that meaning? I did not know this. So imagine my amusement to realize the last chapter of IOS is, in fact, number 23.

And that worked out that way before the Jim Carrey movie.

Heh. I am a dork.

I just got a small, SMALL advance from my publisher. Money always tends to make things more real. I feel I've hit a horrible milestone. I'm writing for money, and while most people think that's a good thing, it sort of depresses me. However, nose to the grindstone. Yep. Hope to pound out this next chapter today and tomorrow. Working on this desktop sucks though. My hands are killing me. I have the strength of a three-year old in my right hand.

Well you've always got fanfic for fun writing. And anyway, Dickens wrote strictly for money and he's taught in every English class since Ever. :P



James stumbled though he was standing still, the world before him tossing like sea waves until he blinked, and then the collapsing waters left him sick, salt at his lips as though he had put them to René’s cheeks.

Hmmmm, I thought it was Etienne's cheeks (anterior or posterior) that James was coveting. All in the family?
