"Raw Material"
When I finished my first novel two nervous ex-boyfriends wanted to know if they’d be recognizable as characters. Both held their breaths while I pretended to think as though I'd already forgotten the plot I'd devised. After they'd been through enough discomfort, I told each of them no. One had turned out to be gay and hadn't yet told his parents. The other inflicted torture with blatant infidelities. Neither had faith in my survival beyond them. Neither suspects I’ll write second or third novels.

but the real reason I wanted to post was to tell you that despite the time of year I have a pale Blue Iris blooming out where the roses are along the front walk. I think of Blue Iris on DU when I see it.:hi:
