Had a productive meeting...

with my Writing Buddy last night, and he helped me solidify some things in the New Ben & Janni Story.

This one is going to take actual work. I did some fairly vague worldbuilding in the last one, but I'm going to have to build an entire dual society here and figure out what the tensions are and how the whole thing actually works.

It's going to be quite an adventure. And the part I thought was going to be short actually isn't. We're getting into consent issues and Stockholm Syndrome and smashing a character into bitty shards and having another character discover an uncomfortable truth (or six) about herself.

Apropos icon is apropos. Poor Ben. He hates vampires.

So, yeah. Here we go... I have the feeling that my mood is going to be "predatory" for quite some time now.

In other news, I have a title for the not!kkbb/im novelthing. It sucks, but it's a title.

Talladega!

Another wild weekend of racing at 'Dega. Man, I love that track. Because it gives us moments like this.

This was Carl Edwards in the last lap of today's race.


This was Matt Kenseth yesterday:


Both drivers walked away from pretty horrific wrecks, although if Matt's car hadn't landed back on its wheels, it might have been iffy, because his car was on fire. Carl's car was on fire too (I think they said it ripped the carburetor off), but he climbed out and ran across the finish line to a standing ovation. I just hope no one in the crowd was hurt, because his car was shredding the fence pretty good, and you could see stuff flying off of it. I'm not sure anything got as far as people, though.

Also, Carl finished ahead of Kyle Busch (The Punk), and that's always a feel-good moment.

Never a dull moment there.
