Like the title describes, I am sooooo damned proud of myself for some quick thinking on my part.
The wife caught me looking at pictures of some young ladies in the 18 to 25-year-old range on the interwebs. Well, she, of course, took it the wrong way and started in on me but I had myself one of those eureka moments I heard so much about.
I told her the celebrity girls I was going to use in future chapters of Mayhem in a Pill were too old and not believable. When I started writing, I had girls set aside that I was going to use when the time was right. But I told her I realized the girls I had in mind were now way too old. I'm talking 30s here folks, you know the age when they should all be pushed off the cliff.
As an example, I had always wanted to use Jessica Alba, but then I realized she is now 37 years old and not likely to drop everything and try to woo our hero. Maybe, but not likely.
So that was why I spent a good half hour this afternoon looking at pictures of beautiful actresses, singers, models and now apparently YouTube celebrities. She said I needed a woman's touch in deciding who to base a character on or who to straight out use, I, of course, believe her.
(And no she is asleep and not helping me write this blog post. She'll see it in the morning but I'll probably just get a curt look. I like it when she gives me curt looks.)
Oops, I almost forgot. I have Chapter 40 of Mayhem in a Pill with the final editor and I expect to be posting it probably early next week. For those of you wondering, chapter 40 continues along the high school Tim timeline. I hope you enjoy.
Oh yeah, if anyone has any ideas for hot female celebrities might chase our hero, lemme know!
