I am having a remarkably hard time writing in the soap opera-y, dialog-driven, fast-paced style of ASKOF. Usually, I can separate things. Mardi Gras Mask was "Let's pretend to be an original series ghost writer!" Cold Lake Murders is "Let's pretend to write an actual novel!" 31 Things to Do in Sleepyside When You're Dead is "Let's pretend to be a comedy writer!" And ASKOF was always, "Let's pretend there are no rules and anything goes and there is no such thing as too over-the-top!" But now, in working on Rocket Man, I keep finding myself toning things down. Or putting in details that aren't necessary. With ASKOF, I took the attitude of, "You know who these characters are. You know where they live. You know their histories." So, I didn't ever bother with, "William Regan, the Wheeler's groom" explanations. For some reason, I keep going there now... ​🙄

Hey Jenni!

Every fall I re-read ASKOF just like clockwork. Very much like re-reading Mysterious Visitor and Glen Road - it never gets old for me. I was wondering if you could send me the password. You sent it to me couple years ago but this week it stopped working. I am an old lady of 55, still a total Reganite, and miss the old days at Jix and Zap's. And I still love your fanfic. Happy to see you are still out there and congrats on the master's! My commute was four hours round trip twice a week but it was so worth it. Hope all is well with your family!

Just reposting, and wanted to mention I remember every one of those old ASKOF images!

Take good care --
Sally

I'm sorry Jenni, I just noticed that you announced the password change. I'll send you an email shortly.
