Among my fabulous parting gifts now that I have returned home from Dragon*Con is a Totally Brilliant Idea for a (god help me) non-fantasy Chick LIt novel that I am uniquely qualified to write. Um. This is the last sort of project I've ever wanted. But it's Right Here. I think I want you guys to talk me out of this, but I think once I explain it you'd egg me on.

Being back here in NYC is great. I felt like a small and incompetent fish in a very big pond at D*C, but I live in the biggest pond of all, and I do all right here. Everything else is a learning experience. And a chick lit novel. Apparently.

Also?

invisible_lift? AWESOME. Very nice to meet lots of other people too, including rusty_halo who has my love forever for her "VOTE SAXON" pin.

More, such as it is, tomorrow.

I'm glad you're home safe. The idea of you writing chick lit is sort of like an lovecraft monster; scary beyond all reason but oddly alluring.

Thank you. Getting home from this in one pieec felt ridiculously dubious for no good reason at all.

So. I have a plot. I have a subplot. I have a sexual romance and a platonic romance. I have stuff about cheating and monogamy and sexual freedom. I've got a narrative voice. I've got a hook. I might even have a title. LIke, I know EXACTLY how to execute this thing, which is more than a little disturbing. And because of the tonal quality of chick lit, I think it's a fast write, which you know, is an allure all of itself.

XD I'd line up at midnight to get it.
