You are now reading this in the voice of Professor Farnsworth, from Futurama!

In all seriousness:

Thank you, Richard's journal and mildly altered senses! The first draft of the first chapter is complete!

*confetti*

I like how this is turning out. I also liked Richard's observation after he asks Delilah on a date right after meeting her, and she accepts--


That’s the modern girl for you. They grow up being told, “Don’t talk to strangers, don’t talk to strangers,” and then you tell them fairy tales where strange necrophile princes are falling in love with comatose girls of sixteen, tops, who they’ve never met before, and you call them things like “my little princess” and encourage them to play dress-up as royalty.

And you expect them not to talk to strangers when they grow up?

Huh. All right, then. Works for me.


IT'S SO TRUE, THOUGH.

Also, I have fantastic news: today was my last day at Barnes & Noble, and I got a new job as a freelance writer! I'm to deliver ten articles in the next three months, I'm very excited! I have to look more into the payment--I'm sure it won't be too high--but I'm still very, very happy.
