"Reyna looked at Percy without much hope. 'You do have a plan?' Percy wanted to step forward bravely and say, No, I don’t!"

 You know how you go to the shoppe, any shoppe, and you are walking about, minding your own business, just looking to pass time? And the workers come out of the woodwork and ask, "Do you need help?" Until you feel like they are really saying, "Stop messing with everything! Buy something or get out!" This happens to me a lot. Then I go into shoppes with the intention of buying something or asking for help...and suddenly all the workers have gone on holiday. Then I get the overpowering urge to look under counters and into back rooms for them.
 This happened to me today. I went to the shoppe with one intention, finding a computer program which would allow me to crop a person out of one picture and paste him into another...and the shoppe was DEAD. I kept looking over the aisles to see if anyone was lurking behind them. "I - SEEEEE - YOU!"
 Needless to say, I didn't learn if there was such a program and I almost killed mine today for not doing said crop. All it can do is squares...yeah, real helpful. 
 Now I'm back to my cover stalking. I went to the bookstore and crawled all over the young adult part, yanking books out, eyeing covers, and putting them back. I'm surprised no one threw me out. And did I learn anything during my escapade? Sure! I learned there are a LOT of vampire books out...and most of the people on the front look dead...oh wait...vampires are dead, aren't they? Or MOSTLY dead.
 So, unless I want the chap on the cover looking pasty and white - which I can do - I'm still at a loss. Basically, I KNOW what I want. I can SEE it. But for the life of me I can't seem to get it on paper. (I just had an image of me taking my brain out and rolling it over paper to see if I can get the cover off...*Dashes off to look for a screw driver*) Wouldn't you know it...brains aren't held in with screws.
 Do any of you know the name of a program which will do what I want? I've seen it done before, but everyone is being very secretive as to what said program might be called. I thought authors were...well...authors, not spies. OH! I bet the program does spy work! I wonder if I can break into SHIELD with it...
 Oh yes, I forgot. Sorry about the bloopers looking drunk. I can promise you, William is NOT a wobbly camera holder. I've no clue what happened with the bloopers but I'm working on mending it...or at least hoping to keep it from happening to the trailer. "If it doesn't behave I shall be very put out."
 Right now I'm in the middle of, well, the cover - bet you didn't see that one coming. Do you know how hard it is to pin down cover helpers?! "Hey you! Let me nail your foot to the floor so I can keep your attention for a minute!" I think if the world keeps speeding up we are going to spontaneously combust.  I've still every intention of getting the cover out by the first, even if I have to nab a random stranger from off the street and force him into my leather jacket. *Eyes random strangers*
 I've put the book up until the first. I will not read it, letting it sit and simmer after it's last edit. Meanwhile, I am trying to figure the publishing out so I won't be staying up until 7 in the morning on December 14th trying to get the book out. I will have to go into more details on this later.
 Now I am going, because I'm supposed to be doing something, I just don't know what. *Ponders* Oh yes! *Chases down Random Stranger*
 ALLONS-Y!*** Do any of you know of a good picture editing program? Do you have any questions about the characters, John, the book, or me you would like to be answered? Are you a Random Stranger?
