Mr. Birch pulled his coat-tails out from under Christopher

[idiosyncreant]

I really need to have a different tag for Alan Birch. But I don't. Sorry,  Alan...   {fictional character, in case you wondered}


Good News of the Week:

I got my second rejection, for a different story, that encouraged me to keep submitting to the publication!
*squee! squee at 5-past-waking-up, people!*
I had a feeling my mail would have something good in it. Granted, I think that way more than it's true...

Peeve of the Day:       (okay, actually, this is something to diffuse the tension of all the peeves I shouldn't mention online)

I just realized I have the warm fuzzies for the word "pearl", of all things. ?0_0?
I have a long-term hatred of the word "caress", though.
Somehow this seems odd.

Progress of the Era:

I commenced The Return of Mr. Birch today. It is to be the last (as far as I can see) of The Conspiracy of Cons, a direct sequel to Charade*whathaveyou. I didn't think I'd want to go right into this next book, but I do.
So I am.
There's Mr. Birch in it.
Whom I have a crush on, I admit, though it's lame to crush on your own characters, but my crushes tend to not be highly rational things.
That's all.

yay rejection! (ah-hahaha I just wanted to say that.)

pearl? I really don't like that world because it is HARD to say (in English as well as French). But I like the images it evokes? Caress is one of those words that has to be used very carefully, otherwise it just induces the giggles.

heeheehee it's all right, I absolve you of your feelings of guilt for crushing on your characters. I am currently making an AU of my own story in my head, generally because I have a huge crush on the MMC of that story and I want him to be happy earlier on than he actually gets to be happy in the real story. Is that bad?
