To everyone--thank you for all your comments to my last post. I'm glad you're here; I'm glad you're reading. If I haven't responded to you yet, I will after I'm done with my story. Cross your fingers for me. Trying to really get started on a story feels a bit like the last few seconds before you hit the top of the roller coaster and go into the plunge. It's too late to get out of the car and you know you're in for the long haul, and you don't know if the fall will be exhilarating or terrifying, or both.
Remind me later to rant about the Kinsey Scale.
