I'm So Ashamed of My Eyes, 'Cause They Still Cry For You

So, um. I got my check yesterday. I'm a working novelist.

Man, does that feel good.

In the meantime, there is work to be done. Assuming I get my work done for today, I'll be halfway through the novel-in-progress. At least, I think I'm halfway done, although I'm not really sure what happens in the rest of the book. I hope it doesn't suck.

In celebration, it's poll time! Superpowers has been described as "'The Invisibles' meets The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay." It's shorthand, the Hollywood description; it gives you the flavor of the book, but not much else.

In that spirit, a poll:

I loved Dahlia, actually, and always intended to read more. Then made the mistake of finding out more about his personality and kind of moved him to the "keep buying copies in used bookstores but don't rush to read" category. George Pelecanos just seems so much NICER. And equally genius.

I've been told by other folks that I need to read Pelecanos, but I haven't yet. Need to get on that.
