So, it's 3:18 in the morning, or, il est trois heures dix-huit du matin, ou son las tres y diez y ocho de la madrugada. And I am still awake. My eyes are so tired they feel inflamed and tender, but do I care? No. I published another chapter of my story tonight. I. Feel. Great. Here's what one reader had to say about my latest chapter:
"That was just so sweet. I was delighted. I loved how scared and worried
Jareth got, and then how they were both yelling at each other. Sometimes I
think love is best expressed with yelling. (Good yelling, worried yelling, not
mean yelling. Completely different.)
And Hoggle's love life is so adorable. Him wanting Sarah to meet Clara was
like introducing the girlfriend to the sister. Plus, the insight into Sarah's
own predicament was nicely worked.
You didn't tell us what the sketches were of, so I'm really curious now. And
what with Sarah about to go against Jareth's wishes...this spells uh-oh-ness."
It's so wonderful to have a someone read your story and see exactly what you wanted them to see! I'm having a celebratory Heineken at the moment, or I was, I just finished it. I love Heineken. I don't love the fact that it requires a bottle opener to open. I'm getting tired of using a spoon to pry my way into each bottle bit-by-bit. Still, it's worth it. I find I like the taste of beer - what I've tried anyway, and that's pretty limited. Coors Light and Heineken Light. That's all, and Heineken wins. It's really good if you've got something salty to go with it. And if you already knew this, then cut me some slack, I've only had maybe eight beers in my entire life, and five of them have been from my current six-pack of Heineken (bought last weekend). Anyway, beer is tasty, and it complements my post-publishing celebration perfectly. Now I'm off to bed, and then maybe to sleep. Who knows?
Oh, did you want a link to my story? It's a continuation of Labyrinth, the 1986 fantasy film. If you've not seen it, then I think you're probably just like the other 99.999999999...% of the population, and I wouldn't recommend reading it. But if you have seen it, and want to know what happens next, from my point of view, then by all means, read your heart out: The Power of the Right Words.

Great! An official 'reveal' of your story ;0
As for beer, let me tell ya....I'm turning into a beer snob!
You should venture to taste blue moon, which i totally love! have with a slice of orange. Also, one of my current favs is Newcastle! Imported from England...very very good!
