I love that footage, I have seen it before but it always still blows me away!
I haven't written this fast since by deadline-heavy grad school days. What fun!

Weird night. Something woke me at 4:00 in the morning, an idea for a new novel, another "middle-grade" book, but sooooooooo different that the first one--something lighter, more rapid-fire and, well, fun.

The neighbors--both the cute elfin/alien boy in the apartment next door & the attractive couple across the hall--seem to be having sex all the time these days - and LOUD! Don't get me wrong, I'm happy for 'em - but how frustrating!
