Memo to the Girls in the Basement

June 11, 2007 Stephanie Leary 1 Comment

Ladies:

The middle of the night, when one is cozily tucked in one’s bed with one’s affectionate spouse, is NOT the appropriate time for you to announce that you have SOLVED THE PLOT OMG BBQ ELEVENTYONE. In the future, you will kindly restrict such declarations to the daylight hours. In particular, I call your attention to the regular conference schedule we have recently established.

Nolove,
Me

P.S. Thanks for solving the plot. Here, have a cookie.

    Just announce very quietly and don’t sit bolt upright as you do it or start screaming. :)

    Walk quietly to your computer, jot your notes, and go back to being cozily tucked. in, happy now that your plot is solved and prepared to flesh it out during a more appropriate time.
