Writer's Block: In a Jam

[Error: unknown template qotd]

Lord Peter Wimsey - no question about it. He was intelligent, humorous, compassionate, ruthless if necessary, stylish, competent and a thoroughly nice man BUT had a number of intense and believable character flaws, not least his utter fixation on Harriet Vane who really didn't deserve him. And if he was busy I'd happily accept Bunter.



I'm getting myself organised for my trip. Still don't believe that an email with a barcode in it is sufficient proof for 4 separate flights but the young gentleman I spoke to on the phone assured me it is. since I'll be spending a lot of time hanging around in airports and since I read horribly fast and can't carry that much, I'm downloading ebooks. I have 2 freebies from Linden Bay so far - one by Charlie Cochrane and one by Alex Beecroft - but can anyone recommend anything else? I demand plot - pwp just doesn't cut it for me. Picky I know but ...

It's not long now. I'm wondering what I've forgotten to do. There's bound to be something.

Where are you going to?

St Louis, Dallas and Atlanta, briefly. Scary, huh?

Cool! Lucky you! :o)

BTW I would choose Horatio Caine to get me out of trouble!!

Horatio Caine? I've never heard of him.

Nope, although I think, if his name is Caruso, someone in my RPG uses him as the icon for a character.

I hardly watch any TV. Just the occasional film and I sometimes catch up with Lost to see if Sawyer gets his kit off.

Yep, David Caruso is his name and he makes me salivate!!
