06/28/2005: "Revisions and Ranger v. Morelli"
I started revisions yesterday. Not exactly zooming through but getting it accomplished. I'm hoping for the zoom factor to kick in today. I worked through Memorial Day. I'll have to don riot gear to handle my family if I'm not through with these by 4th of July week-end. Another big incentive to move into overdrive is my friend's invited us to share a house at the beach next week. I can work on a proposal and my next project, a novella, while there, but the revisions need to be finished. Surf, sand, and a laptop. 
Treated myself to the tenth Stephanie Plum novel on Sunday afternoon. (Yes, I'm too cheap to buy the hard cover.) I'm feeling poor Stephanie's pain. Ranger or Morelli? Morelli or Ranger? I'm not sure Stephanie's fans would ever tolerate her actually having Ranger. And Morelli's definitely the safter, long-term choice. Which of course only makes her/me want Ranger all the more. What's a girl to do?

I've only read the first Stephanie Plum novel, so I'm speaking more from second-hand knowledge. From what I've heard from Plum fans, I have no idea who Stephanie could end up with that would make most people happy. It seems like there's a pretty even split.
Time will tell, I guess . . .
And someday, I'll pick up book two from my to-be-read pile.

I can relate to the towering TBR pile. But I heartily endorse Book Two, and three, and four...you get my drift.

"Some men admit they avoid confrontation (about breaking up) because they’re afraid we’ll cry. Of course we’ll cry; we cry at Hallmark commercials. What they don’t understand is that we’re not crying because of them, we’re crying because now we have to get naked in front of someone else.” -Cindy Chupack, TV writer
