Hard Candy

Did you ever have one of those evenings that was so full of everything? Impromptu passion is amazing. You can go ... oh I don't know .... let's say thirty-six years before finding the things you only see in movies or read about in books (I know, I've written a couple ;)).

I found the "zone" this afternoon. I was working on this chat room scene which quickly turned sexual and before I knew it I had to push away from the keyboard, shudder all over as I did so. I know it's strange, but after being in the zone for a while, I begin to feel claustrophobic and somehow ... well used. I have to step away, shake the whole thing off. It's a magnificent thing really. And I wasn't alone when it happened. I don't think anyone's ever actually seen that happen to me. I myself haven't experienced the likes of this since the first draft of "Juggler".

Chapter Six - "Therapy"
My hero and villain have met, in a rather strange exchange on the Internet. Anyone who's ever had one of those moments will appreciate the scene.

I'm happy to say that I don't think I've lost any of my edge in that arena.
