Me: I'm sadly tempted to -- once I have an announced release date -- make a set of icons that read, y'know, 'X weeks to Rosemary and Rue,' with a per-week 'have you...?' question.

Amy: I think you totally should. You're going to be practically vibrating while you wait for it to come out. It's not nearly as crazy (though totally awesome, I'll happily admit) as the essays on writing you've been doing.

Me: The essays were borderline accidental!

Amy: *tries not to laugh* *EPIC FAIL*
Amy: I love you, honey.

Me: Whaaaaaaaaaaaaat?

Amy: Um. Let's just start with how you have to describe something that could well turn into your first nonfiction book as 'borderline accidental.' Emphasis on the 'borderline.'

Me: Are you implying that I did this to myself on purpose?

Amy: No! Absolutely not! Just that you're the sort of person who can do this by ACCIDENT.

Me: ...sadly, yes, I am.

Amy: Whoops, I slipped. Where'd those forty thousand words come from?
