answer to all answers I can find

I just wrote four lines of dialogue for my book. Oh my God, they're awesome. I'm not sure where they will go, or really of anything at all about this book, but it's pretty exciting stuff.

I think I'm going to write a totally embellished memoir. I think probably a lot of people do that with fiction. And I think a lot of people do it with nonfiction and just never get caught. I find the James Frey drama so ridiculous. So I went and bought that book. Now I want to read it. But more importantly, I'm going to write my own book. First by socking away awesome bits of life and dialogue as I think of them. And the book will happen around it. I'd love to share the one bit I wrote, because I honestly love it, but what if one of the 98 million people who get here each day by looking up "I got soul but I'm not a soldier" steals it? We simply cannot have that.

Speaking of being careful and bloody thieves, I am going crazy over a great story that I can't tell anyone. At my job, we have this daily meeting (in addition to many other meetings) and we talk about ideas for future things. Sometimes the things are too far in the future for me and that's annoying. But today was so super annoying, because it was the greatest story ever told, right, except our coverage of this didn't happen yet so I can't say, "Yay! Go see this. It is amazing." And it's a secret like everything else in the meeting, so I can't say, "Hey, listen to this thing that's going to happen! It's amazing!" Not even to my mom. When it happens though, (maybe next week!) it will be so amazing. I will tell you all about it and not forget to and miss the boat like with Kevin Federline grooving to his own song which I could have sent to you like a month ago and forgot. But if you'd like to see it (or any number of other wonderful things), go straight to the source, would you? Overdrive.MTV.com. And click News. I'd love to send you exactly to the exact spot, but I can't see Overdrive at home because of dang Digital Rights Management. Plus so much of it is so good. I'm not even joking you.

This title brought to you by:
Barry Manilow - "Could It Be Magic"

That's a hint about my book. One of the lines has the word "magic." It's an embellished part.
