The story of a lonesome ol'Jerome

Watching the kettle, waiting for it to boil

As soon as I had finished with Twitter and Instagram, I realized I had forgotten to mention that I needed to find Gwyn soon. I added a comment to that effect, and counted on the fans to draw attention to it.

I went outside for a cigarette, checking the page and my messages every 30 seconds. No useful information, but lots of signal boosting. Good. I’ll find you. With their help, I will find you. Please forgive me when I do.

I typed up a quick message for the guys:

‘hung out with the girl that smashed that asshole in the balls at the signing last night. really like her. but had sex, shit got weird, now i need to find her and apologize before next show. her name is gwyn. see my tweet. i’ll be looking for her. meet you in tacoma if don’t see you at hotel.’

I did a google search for ‘gwyn Washington veterinarian’ and came up with nothing. What the fuck? Um…I tried ‘gwyn Oregon veterinarian’ and again, nothing. Frustrated, I checked on the progress of my posts. Still no info, but more re-tweeting, favoriting. What if ‘Gwyn’ wasn’t her real name? Fuck, then I had almost nothing!

Re-checking my Twitter was like watching paint dry, or a pot, waiting for it to boil. I decided to get a few hours of sleep. When I got up, I would try harder to track down where she worked, and then I would go there. If that didn’t work, I would call every Gwyn in the motherfucking phone book.

Ok, cool. I don't mind plodding plots at all, but as a frustrated English teacher, I can totally understand the grammar and structure stuff.

oh, i'm not changing it significantly in that regard. i mean more a stylistic change to make it easier to read: breaking up paragraphs, improving grammar and tense consistency, stuff like that. i've become a much better writer and i want my stuff to reflect that. if you're nervous about the changed, you can check out the newest version on my wattpad account. my user name is anathemadvm, just plain anathema was taken. i'm still likely to further revise the very beginning a little, but nothing is plot related, i like the plot as much as i ever did. i just want it to be easier to read, that's all.

Actually, the beginning of LoJ fits the story perfectly, IMHO. You establish Gywn as a likeable, but clearly flawed character from the door. It's much different from most other fanfic, which want to get to the Bride(s) ASAP.

oh my goodness! i don't think even i have read it that many times, though i could be wrong! i've certainly only read it through once in one sitting! i promise that the edited version is higher quality, but i don't dare tinker with it here until i have the whole thing ready to go. right now i've edited through chapter 50, though i might need to ahve another look at the very beginning, because it's so plodding.
