Addendum

Oh, before I forget! It seems like everyone I know and their mothers has a book idea. Meanwhile, I've been bitten by the "I-feel-I-have-a-book-inside-me" bug as well. Well, to be honest, I've had that feeling since college.

Seems like the opportunity has knocked, now I just need a reply. About 4+ years ago I met a nice person online and we started roleplaying in a ::gasp:: AOL chat room called "The Medieval Tavern." There my character met a nice and debonaire man, who is roleplayed by my friend Margaret. Our styles matched nicely and even when she confessed she was a woman behind the man, I just chuckled and told her the roleplay wasn't for "that" -- so we continued to develop our characters.

It was refreshing and different from GS4, no need to level characters or hunt or deal with idiots... oh wait, I take that back. I'd almost forgotten about the punk animes that came blasting into the bar with their guns, lasers, and ninja stuff. Blasted Rhydin rejects. It also gave me back some of the creativity in writing that I enjoyed, since most of our roleplaying actually took place on the boards. It's kind of hard to sustain a conversation when you have jerks running in and screaming all sorts of out-of-character stuff and spammers phishing you.

Anyway, I figure that we (Margaret and I, and assorted bit players) have enough material from the posts we made that it dawned on me... we have a complete bodice-ripper here! How about that? I don't expect to be the next Johanna Lindsey, but, it would be fun to be in print.
