My dad reads about one lovely free book a day. He says the best/worst ones are the 100 page long "tasters" for a (paid for) dozen novella series, where it's obvious from the free bit that the author is either churning them out as fast as he reads them or is an actual psychopathic danger-to-the-public. He also buys and reads the Daily Mail, so I'm guessing they must be quite something.

"I'm a really useful engine!"
Played fives after work today which was alright until the rain started coming into the pitch sideways and if you punted it you risked it getting the wind under it and flying over the walls.

I'm just recovering the feeling in my fingers from my 10 min stint in goals. It wasn't too chilly when I was running about but dear god when you were stood still.

Also have chafing on both nipples from my Seattle Sounders shirt :(

e: did score twice though and I'm the worst player on the pitch

This is really weird and unexpected, so far this is written in the exact same narration style as an american 1940s hard boiled detective novel. Imagine this narrated by Bogart.

"She recalled gas station coffee. A Packet of those foul yellow pills her sister called Trucker Speed that gave her jittery nerves and a sour taste on her tongue that didn't keep her awake as she drove. There'd been winding mountain roads with a suggested speed limit of 30. She'd been doing nearly twice that. She was lucky she wasn't dead, "what's your name ma'am?" The cop was wearing slippers, she noticed. They were red flannel and worn around the toes. In a flash she knew she could trust this bumpkin sheriff with her life, but he would be no match for the men who were after her."

No but she just told the cop "as far as you are concerned my name is get me a lawyer" I stopped reading after the local lawyer was reluctant to answer the phone. I wonder who that might be??

I do believe it's the man, or possibly the entire town that can turn into animals. Perhaps the nice sheriff can morph into a pig and is secretly a bad guy working with the men who are after her who turn out to be wolves the bear lawyer has to fight off.

if you want to make any money you pretty much have to write bear shifters, most of the people writing it arent into it at all, they just know thats where the cash is
