Sometimes I worry endlessly about horrifying grammar mistakes and obsess over the plot and then worry about whether literary fiction is ‘in’ anymore? (I’ve decided mine is literary fiction, because it’s character driven). I can see that vampires are ‘in’ and I thought about making the lead character suck some blood…until I realized she’s vegetarian. And Indian. She eats eggs, (she’s liberal that way) but there must be no actual killing in the making of her food. I don’t think that’s ‘in’ at all.

Anyway, I’m really glad you look out for the unusual, so thank you for that. Gives some of us some hope. I hope you open the flood gates again sometime soon. (Fingers crossed for December).
