I may be one of those people that fall under the "following the beat of a different drummer" (though my caveat to that is that I tend to follow the saxophone player), but, while I can understand a little bit of the dilemma from a fan's point of view in that they are fans and would really like to see the next installment, whenever I see that kind of commentary, I tend more to cheerlead for the author's point of view.
What I mean by that is, yes, I'd like to see the next installment (especially if I like and admire the author), but the fans should also realize that, if they do read the author, they should have the courtesy to wait. Authors are human and they do have other obligations outside of writing a particular book at a particular time.
Maybe it's just me, but, as a reader, I read multiple authors and, while being impatiently patient (or would that be patiently impatient?) for a certain book, I find others to read while I wait.
I don't know why - really - but for me it's a toss-up between snakes and cockroaches. Especially the roaches.
I've somewhat overcome my terror of snakes, although I still have a tendency to want to jump on the roof if I see one unexpectedly, but that's more of a control issue. *shrugs*
Roaches, however, still have a tendency to give me the cold sweats (and this was since before watching the roach in ear incident in Brokedown Palace - which did not help matters).
Hadn't really questioned before, but you know......pup sitter might be one solution in the form of a trusted human, maybe? As far as pregnancy goes, I almost had a peroxide moment and said "accelerated cycle", but that would have been ridiculous in what? 28-30 day cycles?
Will have to think some more on this.
(As far as demons go, it would be nice to see some more 'traditional' demons......LOL)
