Carli's truth...

 Had a doctor's appointment, this morning, and en route realized why I was having trouble with CK. Carli's attitude slowly vanishes, and that can't happen. She starts off with a fuck you outlook, one she's had most of her life, but by the end she's like a romance novel heroine. Uh, no. No way. No how!

So I'm going through the story and bringing back her take no prisoners way of seeing things. Blunt and brutal and honest and dangerous. No second-guessing, anymore. No deep contemplations. She's already thought this all through and she's now in a battle...one she does not want to lose. 

She's still going to fall into a relationship with Zeke, and she does wind up loving him, but he's her trophy boy. She loves his lips and nips and hips...and that male appendage usually referred to as a dick. His tatts are nice, too. And all she wants from him is to stay with her, like he's her concu-boy. Alex Minsky is perfect for that.

I'm also thinking of working up a calendar of drawings for 2023. One for each of my books. Preliminary order:

January -- The Lyons' Den
February -- Porno Manifesto
March -- Perfection (a novella, but still worthy of a month)
April -- The Alice '65
May -- The Beast in the Nothing Room
June -- Underground Guy
July -- How to Rape a Straight Guy
August -- Hunter
September -- Rape in Holding Cell 6
October -- Bobby Carapisi
November -- The Vanishing of Owen Taylor
December -- Carli's Kills

Something evocative of each story, in line drawings like a coloring book. With a basic block form for the monthly calendar below them. Might prove interesting to do...

And time-consuming.
