I've followed your LJ now for an extended time, it's clear to me that Spooky is an invaluable part of your creative process. I hope it's not too forward of me to ask (if so, I won't be offended if you tell me to bugger off); but, when you say she 'listened' or you 'talked' with her on something...how much input does she have? Where does she help you? I rely on my partner as well to get things out of my head and focused, but he really struggles with feeling like he's putting in too much input or being overly critical. How does Spooky find that balance?

how much input does she have?

As much as I can get from her.

Would be great if she gets the time, to let me know how she approaches it and if she has any other 'writer's partner/support' insight.

I get as much as I can from my partner as well.

:-D

P.S. Expecting my Red Tree copy finally on Wednesday. yay!

La bête du Gévaudan?

The pizza place is excellent. I would get my pizzas there, though it cost my mind and soul.

Start with the Wikipedia entry:

La bête du Gévaudan.

It's an old obsession of mine.

Ah, it might have helped if I had translated bête... brain is not working today. Thank you.

I think I see a T-shirt in this whole affair....

I'm on it.

[greygirlbeast]

I think Spooky sent you an email.

LOL, omg... I want Cthulhu Pizza!!! Sauce out of thyme... ^_^ I love this. This is a wonderful idea! If not for a restaurant, at the very least it would make a fantastic party. So clever.

Are you still planning to be in Bellingham, MA for that signing this weekend? We got a sitter and plan to be there.
