"I'm sure you're very attractive, in your own way, but I'm not that way inclined. I talked to Rachel, we're going to discuss deals later over a beer."

Joe knew he'd gone red. "I doubt it. But you never know."

"Very professional."

NaNoWriMo Progress


Notes I took a bite out of the NaNoWriMo deficit over the weekend, but not as large a one as I'd have liked. Oh well.

Other fiction- check out Heavensent, the propeller-punk sci-fi war novel I recently wrapped up, or download Another Education/Ruby Red or Ten Years Asleep.
