I write contemporary women's fiction, and some really weird short stories. In this blog, I plan to talk about writing, and my path towards publication. Stick around. (For the time being I am not blogging on any regular schedule.)

Things my husband says
Husband: How's your book coming?
CKHB: Good, thanks.
Husband: Are there any ninjas in it?
CKHB: Not right now.
Husband: Car chases?
CKHB: No.
Husband: An increasingly complex series of riddles that must be solved in order for the bomb to be disarmed and the world to be saved?
CKHB: {sigh} Sweetie, you are not my demographic.
Husband: Oh, I get it. I don't have enough cats to be your demographic.
CKHB: Smartass. Now I'm going to blog about this.
Husband: And that's why you'll never get a man.
Reminder: I am on vacation this week, and this is an auto-post. I may not respond to your comments until the week of September 7th, at which point I will do a "feedback" day to catch up. But I will read everything! I promise!

You could double your demographic by including car chases, ninjas and crazy cat ladies in your novel.
ReplyDeleteWait, wait. Are we married to the same dude? Seriously. The only difference I see is, mine adds sharks with lasers to the mix. ;)
ReplyDeleteYeah, mine added a need for an evil plot to take over the world...
ReplyDeleteHAHA! This is awesome!
ReplyDeleteLOL. Mine is so much like that, with these additons:
ReplyDeleteHusband: Am I in the book?
Me: (snorts) No!
Husband: So, can I read it?
Me: You don't read books.
(Sad but true. He only reads sports mags. Ever.)
I figure it'll be a funny anecdote IF I ever get published - no, my husband has never read anything I've written!
LOL. We're not married to the same man are we?
ReplyDeleteMy husband just begs to be left OUT of my book.
ReplyDeleteHeh. I keep trying to point out that I got HIM, but apparently I'm "first wife" and the relationship doesn't really count from that perspective. Or something like that.
ReplyDeleteYou know, that looks kinda bad written out, but I swear it's funny at our house...
