Day 15....a 'House' call

I'm lagging behind at just over 15,000 words, but I've turned up the volume on things. Gone is the need to write something publishable. Banished are things like consistency, believability and interest. Now, there are no holds barred. And since this won't ever be made public, everything goes. No copyright infringements to worry about. I can quote everybody, talk about products on the market, and even make wry comments about public services and such. Nobody will ever know!

So I decided to add some spice to things. My main character's boss was sort of languishing away somewhere at her ancestral home in Scotland. She is a 50-ish diva with a stash of diamonds and ex-husbands. And she desperately needed a love interest....so who could be better than Dr. House, the character from the current, top-rated medical drama by the same name. Turns out they 'knew' eachother back when House used to ride his motorcycles without a helmet. Now they are holed up together in a B&B on the shores of Loch Ness where they eat breakfast on the balcony in the drizzle and make cutting remarks to eachother over the margarine and spotted dicks. Nobody told me this was going to be so much fun..

Things I learned today....
-if you run out of kaopectate, boiled UNSALTED chicken skin will do the trick
-where there's smoke, there could be BBQ
-I'm pretty sure my down-filled house-coat has fleas
