Thursday Thoughts

Thoughts lately...

1) If I wrote a Dr. Seuss-esque book about the research I do for my novels it would be titled "Oh, The Things You Now Know." It would be totally inappropriate for children.

2) For some of my upcoming titles it's going to be very hard to answer the oft-asked question, "Where did you get the idea for this book?" If I'm honest the answer will be things like, "Well, I was lying in bed and thinking that being awake for a lobotomy would really hurt," and "One day I was thinking about Woody Guthrie and brain parasites..."

3) Why are the buttons on men and women's shirts different?

Thoughts lately...

1) One of my kittens has two opposable thumbs. Another kitten only has an opposable them on one paw. I hope for her sake it's her dominant paw.

2) Sometimes my upper lip is warmer than my bottom lip. This is probably not normal.

3) I had a friend once who ate just pumpkin b/c it was the only thing that settled her stomach. Her skin started to turn orange (no shit) because of it. It is conceivable that if you followed this rigorously you could become the best My Little Pony cosplayer ever.

Thoughts lately...

1) Cut my finger on a can the other day and realized that getting stabbed is probably just awful.

2) When you do the, "My name is AIIEEEEEEEEEE....." reference from Splash and nobody gets it, it's incredibly awkward for everyone.

3) I have no idea what it's like to live in a non-writer brain. The other day I was having a normal conversation with an acquaintance who had read an ARC of IN A HANDFUL OF DUST and in the middle of the convo she stops and says, "I'm sorry. I just can't help but wonder what you're actually thinking about right now. I feel like it's probably just awful."

Well... sometimes it is, yeah.
