I make this face a lot when I read from my books. The thing is, I have no idea what I'm usually saying or thinking when I make it.

Dear Universe:

Please. I'm begging you. Stop interrupting me, so I can finish writing the goddamn story. You have no idea how hard it is to build up the momentum I need to pull it from my brain and make it real.

Thanks.

Wil

Please don't use open parentheses when you're simulating swearing:
"ComiCon was @!#$!%&(*ing awesome."  After 42 years of writing code, it
sets a little switch in my head that isn't reset until I see a close
parenthesis. So excuse me while I say this:

Whew!  (One for your original text and one for my quoting of it.)

Ah, geeks FTW.
