Captain's Log, Stardate 03.23.2009 Hey guys, I could use some help. In my current manuscript, The Year of the Dog , which is a humorous contemporary romance, I have a minor character, Eddie. He’s my heroine’s ex-boyfriend, and they’re on good terms with each other. He’s a bit irresponsible, but not so much so that he’s a complete loser. He’s got a very easy going attitude, he forgets to pay his bills sometimes, he’s friendly and charming. He’s adventurous and fun to be around, but he’s a little forgetful sometimes, and he tends to spend a little outside his income. I need an occupation for him. What would a charming, easy going, slightly irresponsible guy do for a living? He’s not too irresponsible, because otherwise readers will wonder what in the world my heroine saw in him to date him in the first place. She was attracted to his charm, his easy going attitude (her family’s uptight, and he was a nice contrast), and his adventurousness. But his forgetfulness and irresponsibility ...

And about the chicken mummy...we homeschool and are going to be studying mummies in a couple of weeks...so that's why we're going to mummify King Cluck! lol!! In all honesty, I'm having some trouble with using a whole chicken (the roaster type from the store)because I keep on thinking that there are people out there that would love to actually eat that chicken...and here we would be mummifying it...so I may just have to use a chicken breasticle...aren't you glad you asked! lol!! I guess you didn't read my post about talking too much!!
Sushi for One is a hoot!! Honestly, I chose your book because it's not a genre I usually pick and I've been wanting to venture out and try some new things...I'm thoroughly pleased with my decision !!
