I got a copy of this book and it took me some time to read it. Damn that real life getting in the way….

I’m glad I read it when I did get the time.

(Setting, female on a trip with a Secret Service Agent in the group she is with. SSA takes female’s bags for her….)

“I’ve got that ma’am.” Agent Curtis said.

“Like hell you do,” Sally retorted taking her bag from him. “You are a bodyguard, not a porter. Your job means that you have to have your hands free to get your gun out if you have to shoot someone. By that measure, having my bags in your hand means that if someone got the drop on us, you wouldn’t be able to do anything without dropping my bags, thus telegraphing the fact that you are going to do something to the bad guys. I have my bags, thank you.”

He chuckled a bit and relented. “As you say ma’am.”

Bodyguards are not there for decoration. They have a very important job. NEVER should a bodyguard be asked or written to take another’s bag when they are on duty guarding someone, and they would never leave their Principal (meaning their protectee) to wait on another person.

Keep this in mind when you write your stories.

I seem to be slacking off with my writing. I promise that I’m really NOT, it is just that I’m doing a lot of other things. I’m still coming up with ideas, still noting them down.

I do have an odd style of writing. I come up with an idea and then I push it aside and let it percolate for some time. My subconscious tends to write the story then without any interference from me, and I go on my normal way.

Sometime later I find that if I just sit down and start typing on the story, it blooms fully formed on the page, plot, characters, conflicts and more. Normally my first draft is my final draft. I give it to m’honey to edit for grammar and spelling, then I can normally post it wherever. It’s incredible.

Right now I have two stories percolating and they will be ready to be born soon, but they aren’t ready just yet.

Lots of stuff today. First off, a movie review….

I have to admit that I went into this anime thinking “how dumb can you get”. I had read the series description a couple times and had dismissed it as silly. After all, a teacher who is forced to crossdress to get a job just isn’t that original.

I then saw the first episode. I had even lower opinions of it from there. It opens with this little midget of a person taking money from tenants of hir’s (and I use that gender term deliberately, there is no clue through out the entire anime what sex this person is) and shooting them with a gun that fires plastic bullets. Capmy to say the least.

Off to a great start already… I had barely posted the previous Shorts and I found some of these special pieces. It shows a pattern of a world gone crazy. But read them for yourself.

It’s been more than a few days, and a lot has happened. But I blame my sickness for not leaving me much energy to do much of anything other than laying around feeling bad.

But, now I share this with all you. I promise more to come.
