And by that, I mean that I get the whole day to myself to sit at my desk and write.
Sandra has to be in NYC for some meetings, so we aren’t working on the play today.
However — speaking of the play: Man, are we behind the 8-ball now, gang. The days are flying by and we still have a lot left to tackle on the play by September 18th. Primarily, cutting it back to fit the time constraints while hoping it still makes sense.
(But another “however” — once we take the play to NYC, we can take some of this stuff we’re cutting out and put it back in. We won’t have the same time constraints Off-Broadway.)
Anyway! Today is my own! And I hope that sitting at my desk all day will yield some brand new sentences and won’t just be about re-writing sentences that are already there!
Other than that….
Don’t forget that Phil should be live tonight at 7PM Eastern.
**********************
And ALSO don’t forget that the July Sale over at Smashwords is almost over!! You have from today until July 31st to download 4 of my (old) eBooks for FREE! (And I have to say, gang, that usually these month-long summer sales are hot for the first week or so and then quiet down. But this time, the people just keep coming and coming and coming — no tacky pun intended!!).
Here are the quick links:
The Muse Revisited, Volume One: Early Erotica
The Muse Revisited, Volume Two: Erotic Novellas & Longer Works
The Muse Revisited, Volume Three: More Early Erotica
(If you want to know which stories are in which volume, you can check HERE)
Don’t forget that these books are intended for adults only.
And more of my books and eBooks can now be found at MarilynsRoomBooks.com
***************
And ALSO also don’t forget! The Summer Sale is still going on over at Nick Cave’s Cave Things!! Up to 50% off, all across the store!
Including these: SEX pencils!!
Because nothing says “Hi! Let’s have sex!” like giving the gift of pencils!! (I’d be mindful of handing out that first one, though, unless you like really messy sex that involves the police arriving and some sort of prison sentence!)
And that’s it!!
I’m off to write great things!!
I hope you have a terrific Tuesday, wherever you are in the world.
Thanks for visiting.
I love you guys. See ya!

I leave you with one of the above-mentioned Sex Pencils! On the surface, the song seems harmless enough — but dig deeper and it, well, gets weird!!
Honestly, gang, I love this whole effing album!! From Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds’ Dig!!! Lazarus Dig!!! 2008: “Lie Down Here (& Be My Girl)”. Enjoy!!
“Lie Down Here (& Be My Girl)”
Well, you lost a foe
And found yourself a friend
(Lie down here & be my girl)
I’m back now, baby, that man
He won’t be coming round here again
(Lie down here & be my girl)
I’m trying to tread careful, baby
You’re as brittle as the wishbone of a bird
(Lie down here & be my girl)
We’ve been scribbled in the margins of a story
That’s patently absurd
(Lie down here & be my girl)
And let it all come down tonight
We can shine, shine
Let it all come down
(Be my girl, be my girl)
It’s a matter of some urgency, oh darling, can’t you see
I can’t hold back the tide
(Lie down here & be my girl)
And stop your frantic little fingers trying to collect the years
That pour from the hole in my side
(Lie down here & be my girl)
Oh, don’t worry, baby, this old snake banging on your door
Has got a few skins left to shed
(Lie down here & be my girl)
Oh, you look so good, you look so good
The rest is better left unsaid
(Lie down here & be my girl)
And let it all come down tonight
And shine, oh, we can shine
Let it all come down
Tonight
(Be my girl, yeah, be my girl)
You look so good, you look so good
One day I’ll buy a factory
And assemble you on a production line
(Lie down here & be my girl)
I’d buy a million of you, baby
And every single one of them will be mine
(Lie down here & be my girl)
I will fill the house with you, stack you up in every room
We’ll have a real good time
(Lie down here & be my girl)
But right now, I’m sitting here on my own
Going out of my mind
(Lie down here & be my girl)
And let it all come down tonight
And shine, oh, we can shine
Let it all come down
Tonight
You look so good, you look so good
