Welcome to launch week. I know, I know, you regulars have heard all about this, but some people only show up for certain posts, sooooo. I promise to minimize the marketing. In fact, David says he has more important things to talk about anyway. Plus, we have Linda’s Saturday prompt to deal with. Hmmm, looks like she made this one with David in mind:
Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “drink.” Use it as a noun or a verb, use it any way you’d like. Have fun!
If we were having a beer, you’d be in a generous mood.
“Curley, please pour my young friend a nice cold glass of Modelo.”
“And a John Howell’s special for you?”
“Yes.”
“I’ll get these drinks up right away, but this is two weeks in a row that you’re buying, what’s the occasion?”
“Dan and Willow’s book went live on Wednesday. He brought me a copy—you did bring me a copy, didn’t you, Dan?”
“Of course, David. As I told you, I write for beer.”
“I knew there was a reason.”
“A Rascal Todd Mystery with Brody Thompson? How did you come up with that?”
“Well, I write after beer, too.”
“Now that the book is available, what’s next for you?”
“We still have a number of people helping us to spread the word. There will be posts, mostly on Wednesdays, between now and mid-July.”
“Ah yes, marketing. Do you like that part of being an author?”
“No. I enjoy writing, but marketing is too much like business.”
“Well, we didn’t come here to engage in that. We came here to drink.”
“And drink you shall. Dan, here’s your beer. David, a glass of John Howell’s Bourbon, a snifter of seltzer and a glass of ice—someday you’ll have to explain that.”
“You see, Curley…”
“Someday, David. Not today. Unless you boys need anything, I have some customers on the patio working up a large tab.”
“Any other projects underway, Dan?”
“I’ve got a few changes to make in my shop, and then I have a couple woodworking projects I hope to complete.”
“Any writing?”
“Always, but it’s too soon to share any details. How about you, anymore family affairs on the calendar?”
“We have a wedding coming up, but I think I can talk my wife out of going.”
“How so?”
“It’s a destination wedding, and the destination is in the Caribbean, in August.”
“Just in time for hurricane season.”
“My thoughts exactly.”
