letters, the fourth.

Dear Nikki, Thanks for inviting us out for pizza this weekend. Sorry the bus ran late, and that we had to borrow your umbrella. It was worth everything, because I had forgotten how much I missed real pizza, you know, the kind without corn or maraschino cherries.

Dear Poached Eggs, I can cook you in the microwave now! Suck it.

Dearest Novel, I spend each day tenderly editing you, adding new words, subtracting unnecessary scenes, forging personalities and plot. And now I find myself in a tragic dearth of several thousand words. I worry if I will have enough to tell you, so that you can tell others. At any rate, I will finish you.

Dear Fifty Shades of Grey, I deleted you off my Kindle. I mean, I know I downloaded you for free, but I just can’t do it. You understand, right? It’s not you, it’s me (well it might be you as well, I don’t really know).

Poached eggs on top of fresh tomato, cheese, and English muffin. Earl Grey tea. It’s the little things.

    I like this format. A lot. :)

    Oh, hell no girl. It’s Fifty Shades, trust me. TRUST. ME. I read every single page (for Snark Squad) and I can assure you that it’s doing all the wrong things in any relationship.

    I’m glad you two had a clean break.

    Also, I could write my novel a similar note. Finish, we shall.

    So many smart and clever ladies I follow are refusing to read Fifty Shades and I really, really think I’m in the same boat. It just sounds awful. It’s probably for the best that you deleted it, even if it was free.
