Cozy
Michael thinks I'm writing. We're sitting side by side on the couch while he prepares for his class tonight, and I'm making busy novelist noises. Grunting and mumbling for dialogue, sighing when my fingers stop tap-tapping on the keyboard. All in the cause of pretending that I'm not just sitting here blogging, but am actually hard at work on the rewrite of The Cradlerobbers. Which I think Berkley has accidentally retitled "The Cradle Robbers." Do I care? Should I point out the mistake and risk them having to redo the cover? There were so many typos in Murder Plays House that people on Amazon actually commented on it. Sigh. I wish I could send out a mailer that says, "Dudes, I totally know the difference between who's and whose, and there and their." I also know the difference between Lie and Lay, something the vast majority of newscasters can't decipher.
Here's how it works -- you lie on the bed, you lay something on the bed. So you were not "laying around," you were "lying around." It's only confusing because the past tense of lie is lay. As in, "I lay on the bed for hours." But if you say, "I'm laying" that does not mean you are lying on the bed. It means you are having sex. And there should be an object. As in, "I'm laying Topher Grace because he was so damn cute in P.S. that I felt an insatiable urge to knock him on his back and climb up on him. After I finish laying him, I will lie next to him and look into those sleepy, sexy eyes of his." For instance.

Girl, get to work!
Of course, I'm reading this from work. Hypocrite, I. And who is this Topher Grace? How is it you know about all these hotties that I keep missing? Oh, yeah, I never leave the house.
Why can't you just tell the book company that they're misspelling the book's name?
I thought, in light of your recent post about the Tunnel of Fudge cake, that you’d be interested to know that H. David Dahlquist, the inventor of the Bundt pan, died today. He apparently invented the pan around 1950 at the request of Jewish immigrant women.

Topher Grace is Eric from "That Seventies Show." You also might know him from the opening scene in both Ocean's 11 and Ocean's 12. Hollywood is currently attempting to make him an A list actor. He is far more talented than Ashton Moore, er, I mean Kutcher.
Aaaaahhh, okay. Thanks, Harry.
I meant to ask previously, who decides on the cover art?
What is Michael teaching? I wanna go!
Book covers are chosen by the publisher. Michael gets to have input. Me, not so much.
Oh, and he's teaching horror and dark fantasy writing to teenagers at 826.
Cool. I wish I had time to volunteer there. And I wish you and he would teach someplace for grown-ups sometime!

Saw your blog about business debt counseling - as it is along the same lines I thought I would share this link with you. We were paying far too much for family things like clothes for us and the kids, games consoles inc the new Wii and soon to be PS3, car insurance/home insurance/pet insurance, broadband, mobile phones, landline calls, home and garden items, camping equipment and utilities/loans etc - you name it, we were spending too much on it.
Then a friend of mine recommended a site called www.bargainplace.co.uk. We were able to get cheaper electricity, gas, mobile phone, broadband and loan deals at bargainplace. Thanks to my friend (and the site) I am saving something like £100 a month and can afford an extra holiday abroard each year. Booked of course on www.bargainplace.co.uk. Thanks bargainplace ;-) !!

We will work with you to develop a plan that best serve your particular needs. We will then negotiate with your lender to incorporate any changes that are needed to make the plan acceptable both to you and to your lender. Keeping you in your home is advantageous to the lender. Our job is to help them appreciate that advantage.
SHORT SALES MAY SELL YOU SHORT
You may have been told that a short sale is your only course of action. What you may not have been told is that you may be dealing with the consequences of that action for many years.
DEADLINE SENSITIVITY
We understand that you may be facing immediate deadlines and that any delay can mean a loss of meaningful options for relief.
BEYOND BANKRUPTCY
Though we are happy to assist you with bankruptcy, should that be necessary, we believe it is an option that is avoidable more often than people realize.
TYPICAL RESTUCTURING PLANS
Restructuring plans may include:
Adding delinquent payments and any foreclosure fees to the back end of the loan. This may include a permanent reduction in your interest rate.
Forbearance plans may be used to temporarily halt the foreclosure process for up to four years while you make payments to become current with the lender.
GOALS OF NEGOTIATION WITH YOUR LENDER
In our negotiations with your lender we are seeking to lower your payments, lower the interest rate, mitigate any negative impact on your credit rating, and keep your home from going into foreclosure. The lender benefits by continuing to receive payments on the mortgage, and saving on the costs that would be incurred in a foreclosure.
WHAT WE NEED FROM YOU
We will need to document your income and expenses for the last two years. Documentation will include pay stubbs, tax returns, bank statements and property tax bills, and all of the paperwork associated with your mortgage. We will need copies of your bills to document your financial situation and the factors that led to your falling behind. Please provide any other letters or notices that demonstrate that you faced a reduction in your income or higher than expected expenses.
TELLING YOUR STORY
We will ask you to prepare a draft letter that explains in your own words what factors have led to your need for a modification from the lender. It is important that you author this letter, and that it is not generic. Please include the details that bring to life the financial difficulties that you have faced. If you feel that you were not properly and fully informed regarding the terms of your loan, please describe the process by which you came to sign the loan papers and what your understanding of the terms of your loan was at that time.
