And It Goes On And On And On...

I throw my hands up in the air sometimes! Saying Ayo! Gotta let go! I want to celebrate and live my life! Saying Ayo! C'mon, let's go!

(And here you really have to try and picture my son, the skinniest little white autistic boy alive, jumping up and down frenziedly on the bed behind me, singing: "'Cause we gon' rock this club, we gon' go all night, we gon' light it up, like it's dynamite! 'Cause I told you once, now I told you twice, we gon' light it up, like it's dynamite!...")

Etc., etc., etc.

Today is mainly about inputting notes on the finalized choreography and plot-point map for Chapter Eighteen, during which a ridiculous fuck-ton of things happen. But I took some time off to answer necessary cataloguing info and promotional plan questions for CZP, one of which involved trying to make a list of potential tie-in qualities in A Rope of Thorns. Like: If your book contains math (ha!), maybe we could market it to mathematicians; if your book contains belly-dancing, maybe we could market it to belly-dancers. Frankly, I have no idea how you could do this with almost anything I write (market "[Anasazi]" to gay paramedics with tinnitus who frequent hardware stores, for example), but that's what drove me to write the following disclaimer, which I include here for your amusement:
