Okay.  So, we’re about to be published.  We’re writing bigwigs now, right?  Riiight…(double helping of sarcasm on this one if you please).

We’ve got a book proof.  In hand.  All looks glorious, right?  Yeah, you’d think that, now wouldn’t you.  However, what’s the use of protagonists or story if there isn’t a little conflict & drama.  I’m being a touch melodramatic over a couple typos, but it’s our first book, dammit.  You cut us a little slack in the pity-party department, and we’ll promise not to dwell there too long.  Just a weekend camping trip…or maybe a sleepover.

Sarina was reading through the proof, and she began discovering mistakes here and there.  Small things really—gnats on the elephant’s tookus.  But, there they were: an extra period, a misspelled word…  I’d gone over the manuscript two, hell three times.  Changes were made and all was good in the world.  Sometimes the world is not what it seems.  Sometimes the gods of writing & publishing pants you while you’re not looking, then point and laugh to see if you can handle it.  Not a big deal really, and we could have ignored most everything…were it not for two misspelled words.  Both millennium—misspelled two different ways, on the front and back cover.  Now how in the hell did sooo many eyes miss that?

See what I mean?  Pantsed.

The point is, things happen.  What can you do, but laugh at yourself, pick up your pants, and move on.  And so, the book’s not ready yet…again.  This gives us more time to work on all the peripherals, right?  Grey cloud/silver lining, right?

Riiight.

Simply another gentle reminder from the Universe:  It’s nothing serious—it’s just your life.

Ciao For Now,

Things are a-happenin’ here at the Quantum Dating Club Central.  Sarina has just returned from a vacation-slash-networking excursion to Iceland.  And, she’s gearing up for another jaunt, a teaching trip this time – to Alaska, no less.  No rest for the beautiful, I suppose.  Me, I’m sitting in a quiet house – my housemates are away at the cabin for the weekend – attempting to bang out an informative, yet witty blog for your viewing pleasure.

Now, let me see…what to talk about…what to talk about?  Shouldn’t be too hard, right?  Especially considering we just got a proof of our book back from the printer!  (Note the exclamation point; I am excited.)

That’s right, and both Sarina & I have held it in our proud little hands.  Of course, it’s just the proof – almost a clone, but not actually a published copy of our book.  We sure do giggle a lot about it.  So, how long then until the real deal is ready for human (that’s you) consumption?  Too damned long, dash-it-all!

That’s all right for now.  Why Real Women Drink Straight Tequila – the Tao of Intimacy (that’s the name of the book in case you don’t already know) will be here soon enough.  In the meantime, we’re keeping busy with our humble attempts at empire building.  Lately, the business behind the book has kept us busier than writing the deuced thing ever did.  Go figure.  There’s the website to put together (quantumdatingclub.com), seminars to create, blogs to jot down (obviously)…article writing and event planning and podcast planning, oh my!  Both Sarina & I are even taking a class on copywriting.  You know, so that we can…write copy (of course).

There you have it in a nutshell.  Don’t worry, we’ll be dropping you a blog here and there to keep you informed as to what’s going on.  That is, when we actually figure that out.  Until the next time, love mucho and have fun out there.  Remember:  It’s nothing serious – it’s just your life.
