Only one? I can think of three:

MC has to remain Latina.

No romance/sex between her and her two besties.

Third would probably be no cheating by MC or LI in their relationship.

While geared primarily at novices, even more experienced writers may find some handy tips, tricks, or things they just didn't know were hiding under a log.

It's called "Surviving Amazon" and covers what you should know before going on your trek through the Amazon system, navigation hacks when you're actually out there, and a little bit about what to do if something goes wrong.

I know, which is why I suggested it. :)

What, no chickens or other birds?

They still think they're dinosaurs.

I was in fact planning on defenestration of someone in that scene as well. LOL

Write it and save it for release next February!

Don't we all?

Isn't it in the job description, something like "Must be able to do 4+ hours of research for one sentence you will later cut while weeping and snacking."

Your cover is awesome. Whose work is it?

To be honest, I wouldn't put it past Brent Spiner, having read his book.

Really? While I let my membership lapse a long time ago, that's a shame. Its salary data was really helpful in convincing companies that no, your fourth grader can't do this job and yes, the standard rate is this, not minimum wage or less-than-minimum wage.

She should, though.

Does she know she's making the space teddies sad?

No, she's sadly already reverted to "Mom" and "Hey"

Adding some cheese and chips to turn leftovers (squash, black beans, cilantro rice) into nachos tonight. Always a happy thing.

Also, Kid Diem greeted me with "Beloved Mother! I have returned from school!" which was worth a giggle, especially given her next words were "Snacks! I NEED snacks!"

Glad you're feeling better!

Oh, well, then, loan application approved. LOL

Only six? At least two of those writers aren't paying attention. LOL
