C.D.’s comments from the C.D.'s Canaries group.

We are discussing.
HI Janet - What did you do last night?

@Devin - it depends on what you did last night.

Well, it's 11am in Los Angeles. So I'm going to make a cup of coffee.

I think I'm here.
Tonight, Charles Shaw Shiraz, opened two nights ago and on the cusp of a fine red vinegar.

Well, my husband (my strawberry blonde Scandinavian beauty) came down on my ass hard last night for being on line too much. So I was off ALL DAY.

Maybe someone came down hard on Erik's ass?

Don't tempt me.
I have to do this cover tonight.....if I get sucked into a thread I'll have to have that blank Amazon one.

;)

Ok, you know I avoid Goodreads when I'm writing. I just sent book 5 out to beta and I'm sitting on my hands over here, reading over this thread and I just want to poke my head in and say

I LOVE YOU, FUCKERS!

Reviewing this thread was probably the best half hour I've spent all day.

However, the day is not finished.

(waggling brows)

It's also going to be the longest one yet.

Ducks back out.

It's coming along. Should be in beta in a few days. Then edit. Then I'm going to send out my ARCs and crawl under the bed and shake for a few weeks.

:)

Later, lovelies.

Aling is a Tagalog honorary like Mrs, or Senora.
When I asked my daughter's caretaker about it she said Ally.
Months later, on a whim, I asked her to spell it.

And it was Aling.

So, I have to go back and correct Submit (and possibly Tease)

They should all be Aling :)

Interesting.....

I kept reading it, making a checklist of things to tell my daughter to avoid.

Ah, I haven't gotten that far in the story.

Though I still think he should be forgiven because there was no agreement between them, the fact that he wasn't even communicating with himself tells me he's probably too immature to be in a relationship at all.

Honestly, am I some sort of emotional prude or something LOL.

It is truly a good fun read and I'm enjoying myself, but if I met these people in real life I wouldn't take them seriously.

Nikki, you are so, so correct. Agree completely.

But you should forgive him, then.

;)

OK Nikki, but imagine this.

You want this man. (I still don't know why or when he fell for her but I haven't finished and oddly SHE HASN'T ASKED)

Sorry - back to the point. You want him. You hunger for him. You get him into bed a few times and you seem to have a great time. All you can think about is him.

But he dismisses you. Ignores you. Runs away. You (for more reasons that elude me) have never sat down like an adult and talked about what you want and expect, because the messages are so mixed.

You are confused and hurt. You ignore him and keep pursuing him. After a time, you think MAYBE I SHOULD HEED HIM. Maybe he actually DOESN'T WANT me.

So, you figure, maybe I'll just go back to the way I was. I was happy a week ago before I (inexplicably) fell in love. Being responsible for your own heart, and having no standing agreement, you go see if fucking around will bring back the regular life you once had.

Fail.

Listen, again, had these two people sat down like adults and talked about their feelings, this whole thing could have been avoided. Short conversation. Something along the lines of...

"I want you."
"Well, you scare the shit out of me."
"Well, I want you."
"You're a client. I really can't continue this."
"Then I'm going to fuck other women."
"Huh. Well. In that case, let's be exclusive, albeit uncomfortable."

I think the lack of adult conversation actually hurts the level of drama, instead of heightens it.

My take.

Can I pop back in here to say....I have no problem with the 4 days. They had no agreement and never talked about the terms or status of their relationship. She gave every indication she DIDN'T want him....I mean to me? Those four days, he was finally listening to her.

Jesse just wasn't smart enough for me. Good looking. Big dick. Zilch between the ears.

Sorry Nikki!

Gideon's pretty hot.....

Because of 50 I finally had the courage to write about stuff I wanted to write about. Explicitly. Not behind a door.

I know that's kind of lame.

I so prefer Mr. Grey to Mr. Ward. Sorry Nikki I know he's your fave. But Grey got so much of the nitty gritty RIGHT.
