I’d planned another post about book trailers today. However, I’ve got to devote time to Novel 2. She’s in foul mood and refuses to cooperate with me. When I explain – calmly – what we have to do and why, she crosses her arms and says, It’s a free country. You can’t make me.
Yesterday I sent her away for awhile. I was losing my cool and didn’t want to say something I’d regret. Novel 2 doesn’t share my diplomacy. She slammed the door in my face and screamed I hate you!
Today we’ll settle this thing. I’m bringing out the bulletin board, note cards, and highlighters. I will make her understand. I will prevail.
