When Caboose Meets Engine

“Complications arise, and then shatter expectations.” (page 40, Pound by Chloe Stowe)

 

Excuse the downer of a quote above, but you go where the excerpt-gods take you.

Bet you didn’t know there were excerpt-gods, huh? Many strange and wondrous things appear when…

a.) Your 16th novel in 5 years is about to be published. (SIDE NOTE: This is better known as Romantic Smut Exhaustion)

b.) You’ve been up working an hour on a mid-August Monday morning and the sun is still MIA. (SIDE NOTE: This is better known as Nightmare Avoidance 101, and is a rather fair showing of OCD Tendency #17)

c.) You’re on enough Prozac to mellow down the finest Primitive Baptist preacher on the hottest Revival night. (SIDE NOTE & DISCLAIMOR: Despite all appearances to the contrary, this is not a slam on the Primitive Baptists. Although I disagree hotly with many of their beliefs, their devotion is oftentimes extraordinary.)

Ok, now that I’ve just alienated Section 43B of the blog auditorium, I think I’ll move quickly on before I unintentionally empty out another demographics’ group seating…

*pauses*

*ponders*

*slyly grins as the post cleverly (i.e. accidentally) comes full circle…*

Moments ago as the sun began to finally creep over the horizon, I had the “expectation” of this post being good.  Alas, “complications” of a Primitive Baptist manner arose and shattered that delusion spectacularly.

*proudly beams as the caboose has just met up with the engine*

Dang it! I’m good!

(SIDE NOTE: The above is better known as Delusion of Grandeur, Exhibit A.)

Until tomorrow…
