I've spent the majority of the day working on book two and it's been mostly fun, except for the fact that I can't remember where President Farmer went to college. I don't want to send the new President to the same school, but I'm going to have to get out a copy and look that little detail up. I've already had to look up a few other details about continuing characters and it's a little frustrating. I have to keep reminding myself I wrote the bulk of those details more than four years ago so it's not exactly surprising that I've forgotten a few things!

I read once that J.K. Rowling gave the first couple pages of a soon-to-be-published Harry Potter sequel to a charity. They auctioned it off and made a mint. Too bad I don't have a small sliver of her fame -- I could tell you that I knock someone off in the first chapter and let the bidding frenzy begin. Might even be able to buy a couple tanks of gas that way! :p

However, although I am not richer than the Queen of England <as is my colleague J.K.>, today I decided to splurge and ordered pizza. I was talking to the owner of the park this morning and he told me Domino's would deliver, so I called them up and they just needed to know what space I was in. I was outside chatting with my neighbor when he pulled up so it was super easy. And, I must say, it was also painless because my neighbor bought a book which paid for the pizza. ;)
