ksmithThe cold was still dragging me down this evening, so I gave up trying to do anything useful and lay down and listened to music...
..."lie takes an object, and lay never does." "Or is it reversed, lay and lie? I reread that line and reread it and reread it and I *still* can't figure it out. Calls herself a writer. Crike...
...London Suede, Neil Young, Chemical Brothers, Hives, other stuff I haven't listened to in a while. Imagined My Life As A Spy/Rock Star/Int'l Woman of Mystery.

It's a good feeling when the backbrain kicks in. When it flips through all the stuff you've written in 4 previous books and makes the one association you need to tie up a very loose end. Yes, I know, loose ends don't go *click*. They go "flap", like a fish flopping on a dock.
