As Windy commented at The Continued Journey Friday, it was like Oprah was giving out play dates this weekend. There hasn’t been much playing going on here lately. Heaven know I hadn’t initiated any lately. There have been many reasons, I even have a blog written all about it that I’m sure I’ll post eventually. I’ve been fine with the lack of action. But Nick, apparently he’s been thinking.
I got the following email –
It occurs to me that in the name of integrity as an author, one should look for opportunities to experience occasionally a touch of what one writes.
Perhaps I may be of assistance.
If you concede this point, even grudgingly, please give this idea proper consideration and respond with your thoughts within 24 hours.
Helpfully yours,
N
I was very surprised. It did catch my interest. I liked that I had twenty-four hours to respond. There were several emails exchanged. We’re empty nesters, there was no rush. We flirted and talked back and forth for a few days… just a little game to let the sexual tension build. It was fun. It was a little like the old days of TTWD. And we did have a wonderful afternoon.
But he wasn’t kidding about the author integrity – he felt I should keep up with what I write about. So I say, Damn you and your zealous use of the hairbrush, Tom Duff!
I am so jealous, green with envy. I think Windy's Oprah skipped our house again. I know that when the hairbrush is used I curse Tom too, ouch!!! Glad you had a fun weekend. You two are awesome!
ReplyDeleteMaybe next weekend for you. Having not quite all the kids gone is the same as having a houseful. But yeah, that brush is intense.
Deleteso very glad Oprah visited you :) I know it's been a long time
ReplyDeleteIt had indeed. We're still emailing so who knows.
DeleteHooray! This sounds wonderful PK. I suppose Nick has a point re maintaining writer integrity lol. Happy for you :)

Well I'd never thought of it that way, but as long as he did...
DeleteI'm so glad that N was able to "help" with writer integrity LOL.
ReplyDeleteSeems we all got play dates this weekend! Hip hip Hurray!
I'm happy for the play date, but honestly as a writer I have a long memory.
DeleteSounds like a great weekend! You must have been pretty uncomfortable though . If it’s been awhile, the hairbrush is a killer! Isn’t it amazing how tender we are if we don’t get ‘regular’ attention?

I'm amazed at how a different head space can determine what you can take physically.
DeleteI was fully serviced in all areas of TTWD this weekend. I hope you'll be writing about your adventures soon.
ReplyDeleteGiggles! Oh PK....that saying "be careful what you wish for" popped into my head!
ReplyDeleteIntegrity is always good (I guess). I am you got to play!

Yeah! And I wasn't even wishing for it - not really. Hadn't been in my thoughts lately. But I suppose integrity is as good as anything.
Delete"Integrity as an author" lol! Nice excuse ;) Very glad you enjoyed your time!
ReplyDeleteHe had to dig deep to come up with that reason - bless his heart!
