Number 16!!!

First, WELCOME PAM!!! And I think the note on the door of the party, cancelled is good plot-wise. Just one thing. I really, really, (Pam you may not have been here for this) want Mr. P to remain an enigma, as he is now on the site. Almost as though we're not even sure he exists. Like the Almighty Oz. If he throws a party, even if it's cancelled, we lose that. Make sense?

I know this all feels fuzzy right now, but I am trying to embrace a bit of the ebb and flow rather than rush to a concrete plan. Let's enjoy doing this for a while. Keep putting things out there. That's why I wanted to work with a big bunch, just to see the process. We're fine on our deadline. I'll keep us where we have to be there.

This is awesome stuff so far. Not all of it matches and aligns perfectly, but that's fine. Now where's our Olivia? Psssst. . .

Trask, loved the cigar. Scotch? Cheers, man. I think we'll have to execute a real meeting with this gang after all is said and done.

I don't know who wrote the 'why I went to the funeral' post, but please, please, please let me have number 16. Seriously. I want that. That's so perfect. I was thinking I wanted my character's marriage to be on the rocks. Maybe she goes down seriously to get the nekkid, or at least suggestive, jpegs! I love it.

I also loved the 'I got fired and three months pay.' That works. It also answers for the time off and the desire to shake things up a bit. This would obviously be the guy who gets plastered and tries to do karaoke into his snifter at the wake. Right? Maybe Mike's publisher ends their contract with severence? Anyone see Sideways? Wine from a styrofoam cup? Awesome.

Pam, choose whoever you want to be. Really. Think about it. I'm sure all of us have seen that good writing comes from someplace real, not necessarily real to this world in detail and fact, but a place that moves you.

Night kids.
