There's an awful lot of snot in here. *backs out, quickly*
Hey, why did I stop eating chocolate bars on Sundays? I feel the need for chocolate.

Btw, if anyome wants to build neurons, which all writers should, then check out luminosity.com.
Is it really that bad? I bet it's not that bad at all.
Holy crap!!! I've hit another one of those, "I can't believe this got picked up by an actual publisher!" books. The girl has control of the language and understands basic storytelling. But the characterization? Holy crap, these are the most cliched, overwrought, ridiculous characterizations I have read in a long time. Even some of the Smashwords duds have this beat!
And not only was she picked up by an actual publisher, she has multiple credits! Six books, according to Amazon!
Details?
Back in Pittsburgh. Purring kitties. Need to take beer out of freezer.
Thinking of buying a Mini.
A local car dealer (as in, maybe two dozen cars, tops) had a little yellow Mini Cooper on sale for years. Always wanted it. When the ex- who was not at the time an ex yet - was looking for a car, she thought about it. I talked her out of it for good reasons, such as she can't drive stick and I'm reasonably sure they aren't the best vehicles in the snow...
But man, I wish I hadn't. I could have traded her for my car when she discovered she couldn't really drive the Mini.
Or else she'd have blown out the transmission trying to test-drive it.
No offense, Boston -- and no offense to anybody else -- but how can you get to be old enough to have children, and not be able to learn to drive a stick?
It's just not that difficult.
It just wasn't necessary, JC. I think I've been in maybe a handful of cars over the years that came manual, none of which I ever needed to drive. I did, finally, make it a point to learn when I at last had a vehicle to learn in, but that was mostly for the sake of knowing.
we talked about how Minis handle in the winter, and he said he's had no issues. They're best with snow tires, but the all-seasons do fine, too.
Yep. In case of zombies. *nods*
And I myself didn't learn to drive stick until about four or five years ago, either.

I doubt any vehicle I ever buy - at least for practical purposes - will be a manual transmission. They're just too few and far between.
It's not a matter of difficulty. I learned by driving tractor as a kid, too, but didn't have the opportunity to drive a manual street vehicle until I was in my late twenties.

Now, they can pry my manual transmission from my cold, stiff hands.
