Would Nicholas Sparks be a name that a trendy happening with-it person should recognise, then ?

I'd say so. Eldest is a big fan of his. And she adores the movie and the book of "The Notebook".
If you are up to no good, please do no good for me too, okay?   ;D

  Well, I didn't put it out there, but it seems pretty simple.  Something JB might find handy.  Gastro  (of the stomach) turgy (study of)  as in Taulmaturgy (sp).... So I take this to be the study of using gastric smells to follow someone...   LOL

So basically the study of stomaches? or if you're using gastric smells... farting? ;P

Well, I suppose that since my stepson moved out somebody else had to take up the responsibility of making it clear to me that I am a clueless has-been.
Mildly OCD. Please do not troll.

kittensgame, Sandcastle Builder, Homestuck, Welcome to Night Vale, Civ III, lots of print genre SF, and old-school SATT gaming if I had the time.  Also Pandemic Legacy is the best game ever.

most definitely!  who wants to study the stomach.  Although hunters and fisherpeople slit the guts to see what fish are biting at etc.  And I never understood that amazing research tool---the cow with a window.  Yes, necessary, but I really didn't need to know that!

I'm keeping up with the word counts but I don't know if my character is interesting enough. So far he's had a fairly prophetic dream and gone to work...  ::)

Day two and I'm still ahead of the goal...

I think the best thing that's keeping me going is that I keep telling myself it doesn't have to be good and nobody's going to read it anyway! LOL

Oh hellz yeah. ;D  My first pages are especially painful.  I blather, I ramble, I bumble around the beginning of my story and bounce off the walls a few times before I finally manage to get going.  Normally, I'd still be re-re-re-writing the beginning.  This time, I just left it back there and kept going.  It was a revelation to me!  I didn't know you could do that. I thought, y'know, horrible things would happen.

Of course, I also usually send it out to people to read and this time I'm laughing out loud when people ask if they can read it.  "No," I say.  "I like you, therefore you cannot read it."

It's freeing.
