Geez, I'm really behind now. But hey, that's life, right?
I realize that I am going to need some REALLY good stuff to kick it into gear. I think I have a somewhat of a main character, a conflict, but that's it. I need to think long term on this one.
I have decided to cheat and use places I go to all the time as settings. I figured that the guy lives in Visitation Valley. I know what he looks like, and I know what his family looks like. I am in the process of finding some tool friends (so this is where you weirdos will come in).
Yes, I like to write about my friends and deposit them in the story. So if you want to be in it, let me know. I'll add you in. I might add you in as a pet or maybe as a street name, but I'll throw you in. What have I got to lose?
I am way in the hole, so I'm going to need to work real hard to make up that deficit. I will be spending some quality time at Bacio soon, so I'll have to schedule that one in! Ciao for now, people. Hope you're doing well. Now that long awaited snippet at the jump!

“Sure, the usual place, the usual dishes, and the usual good company,” James ended the conversation and said goodbye. He turned his cell off, and focused on the writing of his students. As an adjunct professor, James had a flexible schedule, although in order for him to stay at his apartment, he had to work at a few different schools, giving him many miles on his gently used Nissan Altima. He didn’t envy the cubicled lives of his roommate Albert, or his fellow classmates and friends from Boston College who were in the Bay Area with him. They were all desk jockeys, people who didn’t have that day to day interaction with people in the world outside, just the schmucks they worked with. Water cooler conversations he couldn’t understand. They often met up after work for drinks, and they were people he barely knew, but one single mention of Vodka Night, it was back on the same page with the fellas.
NB: We all had a Vodka Night, haven't we. btw, spent quality time with MnM (I'm going to have to change that nick to something more sinister) at Target! Yah baby, that was fun. Next stop: Ikea. Anyone want to go in for the ride?
