What lurks in the mind of this writer.....

After spending a few days in Manhattan last month, my mind is fresh with new ideas and inspiration to either finish some older stories I’ve put aside or start some new ones. I’m really good at starting them but not finishing them. My flash drive is filled with unfinished stories. It’s not such a bad thing though because sometimes when I get bored, I browse through the titles, find one that I’ve forgotten about, read it, and then get excited all over again. It’s like finding money in your pocket when you take your jeans out of the dryer a week before payday. It’s THAT kind of exciting. Ok, weird analogy, but I’m sure you know what I mean.

Oh speaking of flash drives... you know, I accidentally left the one with ALL of my stories in it, in my jeans pocket. I put said jeans into the washer, set it for a long wash cycle, and then put them into the dryer for yet another long cycle. When I pulled my jeans out of the dryer and discovered the flash drive in the pocket I thought I was going to die! It was toasty warm and from the what it went through I figured all my stories were toast too. With much apprehension (compounded by the fact that I hadn't backed anything up), I plugged it into my computer, held my breath, and to my amazement; IT STILL WORKED!! Yay for technology! Yay for being freakin' lucky!

Right now I’m working on an erotic story about librarians. Yes, I like challenges. I feel compelled to do my part in spicing up and breaking the stereotype of the bunhead, especially the lesbian librarian. I’m not sure if a stereotype of a lesbian librarian exists. Is there one? You know, until now I’ve never even given it much thought. What exactly would a stereotypical lesbian librarian look like? Hmm, let me think. I bet she’d be either very femme or soft butch but definitely not diesel; wear comfy clothes, shoes, and secretly wear sexy lingerie underneath, as she is a breed apart from her straight sisters.

Ms. Diesel librarian would scare the shit out of the other librarians and patrons. Ok, now I don’t want to offend the extremely butch community but seriously, think about it.

Patron: "Excuse me sir, can you tell me where to find the book “How to Wear Flannel for Dummies?”"
Ms. Diesel Librarian: "Go find it yourself, asswipe."

(Long pause)

I rest my case.
