Deadlines
Seven thousand words into a new novel. Came up with a working title I can live with.
I'll do anything to avoid working on taxes. Suddenly, no writer's block now that I need to do taxes. Moving is a killer---two states worth of forms. I want to jump into an advertisement I saw today--a white deserted beach.
There's nothing like a deadline. Back to my Receipt Safari.

What's the working title?
The Cobra Trap
I like that. I'll read it. Is this the one that we talked about? Because I'm really fascinated how you ended up with The Cobra Trap as a working Title because, well...it didn't seem there were any cobras.
But you went from mail order psychiatry to kidnapped by Peruvian terrorists in a heartbeat, so i guess a cobra showing up isn't such a big deal.
The cobra isn't related to Charley the Snake, is it? 'Cause, yanno, pythons and cobras...hard to tell who'd win in a blood fight.
Off to get another glass of wine. Back is acting up tonight.
Ooo. Cobra Trap. Sounds like some James Bond movie.
MG It's metaphorical.
Dana - Well, that's the reason it may be thrown out in the end as it's not James Bond, but it is clear from the beginning why cobra's figure into his thinking.
I like it for now.......subject to change with the incoming tide.
Funny.
I was gonna write one called the 'Trouser Snake Trap'.
;-)
All the beach will do is get sand in your thong, and when you sit down it will feel like a sandpaper bannister ride!
PS...taxes will still be there when you come back...with interest!
"The Cobra Trap" is a very catching title. One could do some great graphics to compliment it for the cover.
I don't even bother with titles anymore. I've gone through half a dozen. I figure, someone'll sort it out for me.
Cause they're never gonna like mine.
Thanks James...I envision...well I'd better finish the story first.
Buffy--Yes, I know this too, but I couldn't look at my working title at the top of the page anymore. It bugged me.
