Happy Saturday. As of today, things are settling down. Willow and I finished the launch tour for Poetic Justice yesterday over at Jan Sike’s blog. On Wednesday, we were hosted by Darlene Foster, and both visits were fun, and Jan and Darlene were wonderful hosts as were the other eight people who hosted us, and of course, Teagan Geneviene who kicked this all off with the cover reveal in May. So, in our effort to get back on track, let’s see what Linda is up to this week.
Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “curl.” Use it as a noun, use it as a verb, use it any way you’d like. Have fun!
Stream of Consciousness Saturday by Linda G. Hill
If we were having a beer, you’d just want t relax.
“So, Dan, are you done?”
“Done? Done with what?”
“The book. Are you done trying to convince me to curl up with your good book. And, since I’ve already done that, I’m hoping you’re ready to move on.”
“What did you have in mind?”
“Hey, that’s my line.”
“Hi Curley. I was just checking to see if Dan was ready to start buying some drinks and some food.”
“Well, you two clowns can figure out who’s paying later. Shall I set up a John Howell’s Special and pour Dan a Modelo? That’s all I need to know right now”
“That’s a good start, Curley. If David gets hungry, we can order a pizza or some Teagan’s Mushrooms later. I’ll pick up the tab.”
“That’s generous of you, Dan. In the meantime, I have a few questions.”
“About?”
“Here you go, guys. A glass of John Howell’s Bourbon, a snifter of seltzer, a glass of ice and a cold Modelo.”
“Thanks Curley. David was about to ask me some questions.”
“I’ll catch the summary on the eleven o’clock news. Let me know if you want some food.”
“Cheers, David. Now, about those questions.”
“Well, I know you had to buy a new camera, but I missed hearing what happened to your old one.”
“Dust.”
“Dust? That’s it, dust?”
“Yeah, that’s it, but this particular bit of dust was about a quarter of an inch in diameter and centered on the lens.”
“That sounds pretty big.”
“Big enough that the auto-focus was drawn to it instead of any other objects in the frame.”
“So, a perfect picture of dust.”
“Perfect.”
“But you could get that cleaned, right?”
“Unlikely. The guy I took it to said they can clean the lens, but there’s probably more dust in there, and the spot, or spots would return.”
“OK. I guess that makes sense. Now what’s going on in your shop?”
“I’m making doors.”
“Doors? For anyone I know?”
“They’re for me. They will separate the workshop from the garage”
“I thought you did that years ago.”
“I built a wall, and I created cavities to house pocket doors, but I never made the doors.”
“Shoemaker’s children?”
“Kinda like that.”
“Do you have pictures?”
“Thursday.”
“Oh, I get it. Priming the pump. Drop a few hints but keep us hanging.”
“You asked the question.”
“Yeah, I really need to stop doing that. So we’re done hearing about your book?”
“Not entirely, I mean I still have marketing, and people have started posting reviews, I have to let people know about that.”
“But that’s sideline stuff, right. A little here, a little there.”
“Yeah, I wouldn’t want to bore you.”
“Dan, that ship sailed with Magellan. Did you say something about a pizza?”
“I did. Curley, another round and a Meat Lover’s pizza.”
