Drove milady to the station this morning, rather late, alas: I can't think what delayed us. We've already 'gone public' so it's just finding out about how well we fit. Thus far so good. Now I have to start writing again. Also I have to be cynical and write the next novel with an eye on the bottom line, rather than trying to compose with my particular criticisms and pseudo-rebuttals of lit-crit theory.
I should remember the marketplace: no-one's ever gone broke underestimating the intelligence of the general public.
Explosions and sex it is then.

But perhaps you'd just be tapping into the general public's desire to provide pseudo-rebuttals of lit-crit theory. We cultural critics like explosions too!

Comedies of acute embarrassment....sink under the weight of too much theory.

Unless the comedy is the theory. I remember having lots of fun making silly over the application of abstruse paradigms to mundane details.

Ah, from where I stand that's called life.

Heh...yeah, some of us read fiction for entertainment & non-fiction for pondering. ^_~

I thought I'd written a comic novel. No-one else found it funny. Damn.

Perhaps you did not market it to the right people? :o
Would you care to send me a chapter? I am rather curious now.

Unfortunately, often times it is necessary to follow suit with the way things are done which get under your skin in order to make money doing what you want. I have my worries with that with my future endeavors. I like to think my personal take on it will allow me to succeed. However, I could be terribly, horribly wrong. Good luck with your lady and your novel. If you don't mind me asking, what do you tend to write about?

What I know. "Homo sum: humani nil a me alienum puto" as I may have quoted before.
