Worse problems to have.

[mrissa]

The moral of my dream last night was apparently that lydy and I should not become hackers. As timprov said, "Who knew? Well, okay, everyone. But aside from that."

Also, I can apparently write novels again. It's not that I ever intended to stop. It's just that I was Between Novels for an awfully long time. And now I'm not; The Mark of the Sea Serpent is in that stage where it's acquired gravitation, and things go where they're going and it's all going to be okay. Until I get another 20K or so down, and then it's going to suck for another 5K or so, but that's okay; that's how it goes.

Actually, if I recall correctly, my main problem with writing Dwarf's Blood Mead was that I never thought it sucked, and that made me nervous. So maybe the same will be true of The Mark of the Sea Serpent, it being a sequel and all.

There are worse problems to have.

Could I borrow some of that gravitation when you're done? My books lately have sadly lacked gravity and momentum.

I was sadly lacking in it for a long time myself. But if I spot any stray gravitons, I will aim them at Texas.

Err. Then maybe the rest of the country would get sucked into Texas. Umm. Perhaps you could come get them?

Right, I can do this. Perhaps I can trade caramel-chocolates for gravitons.

I will give a lot for caramel-chocolates. Especially the really good kind from Canada.

Well, probably not, but it would make a great movie.

Just the concepts "Minnesota" and "hackers" together make a great movie, actually. Either a pre-1999 grungy hackers movie or a post-Matrix cool hackers movie. I can see the elevator pitch. "Like Fargo with extra leather."

...or maybe not.

lydy and I both have leather jackets. I have leather boots and a leather skirt.

With the way lydy and I get together, I suspect that it would become a comedy no matter how much leather we tried to apply to make it Cool. There are worse problems than that, too.

If you and lydy made a comedy while wearing lots of leather I'd go see it, whether it were about hackers or no.

Me too!

Toss in a Hackers-style sheer top and you'd have my movie-going dollar. ;D
