You Are My Favorite Bad Idea has officially crossed the 120,000 word mark. And no, I've still got a little bit to go, but the end is crawling into sight. 

As you might be able to guess from this week's main update I'm currently working on a party scene. It is undoubtedly the most epic party scene I've ever written. I'm five chapters and fourteen thousand words into this one event and emotional chaos has been unleashed. I'm alternating between cackling and chewing on my fingernails.

This is definitely a feelings book.   

This shot is a little different from the pretty photos I usually share in this newsletter. 

(Or at least the 'hey, I don't think my face looks totally hideous in this' photos 😂)

I took this photo in a coffee shop this morning. I took it because it was annoying me deeply that the people in front of me did not understand how to form a line. 

This is the dialogue between my friend Ms Melinda and I while I waited:

Me: There's a line!

Ms Melinda: Wtf? How dare they! 

Ms Melinda: Don't they know who you are?? Push them out of the way!

Me: Don't tempt me... *smiley devil face emoji*

Me: *Darth Vadar I will destroy you meme*

Ms Melinda: *crying laughy face emoji* 

Me: I hate being in line with self-involved idiots who don't know how to form a queue.

Ms Melinda: That looks more like a mob than a line.

Me: I know. Pay attention to the movement around you. It isn't complicated. 

Me: Most people master the basic art of standing in line during kindergarten.

Me: Not that it's bothering me...

Ms Melinda: Yes. Clearly they don't realize how dangerous it is to stand between you and a brownie.
