Diary of a Girl-Next-Door Heavy Metal Novelist
February 25,
2004
I have to be careful about using terms like "crappy
ass" so liberally. Despite the lack of publicity being done for
the film festival I'm going to, the contract they sent me says that they're
going to set me up with "no fewer than 2 media interviews."
Of course everyone knows that in Pennsylvania, "crappy ass"
means wonderful fabulous extraordinary superduper great. It's the next
best thing to Paul Stanley's ass, really.
Last night, my dad called to check on me and I felt a huge wave of guilt because I couldn't tell him any details about my book publication (yes, I just used the P word). Soon! I promise.

My special thanks go out to a certain Mr. Simmons for giving my little
ol' documentary film
a shout out on his modest li'l website.
He, not surprisingly, beat the VA media to the punch.
...but not by much. I had my first request for a quote from a Norfolk magazine tonight. Sexy! I hope it scares up some southern KISS fans who have nothing else to do on a Monday afternoon than attend a film festival.
I finally reschedule my copyright lawyer meeting. Next Wednesday, baby.
I wore a new outfit today that made me feel just like Emma Peel - all zippers and curves. As a result, I found myself ending all my sentences with the word "baby." I don't feel like such a swinger very often, but I enjoyed my little Rat Pack sojourn. And, I was hot, baby, with a capital HA!

I'm getting lots of hits on my website. Thank you, Mr. S. I'll make you
very proud.
I booked my rooms for the NYC KISS Expo/Hard Rock Convention. My fabulous friends Heidi, Matt and Joe might come along for the ride, too. Not only that -- Joe says he'll drive my Winnebago on the Book Star Tour! And he'll be my wardrobe consultant! He says he'd like it best if I snap my fingers when I want him to come.
I like the sound of it, but I'll have to practice that diva sh*t. I bought a strapless black dress with 2 feet of fringe tonight to get into the spirit. BABY!
February 28, 2004
On second thought, I'm wondering if the strapless thing is such a good
idea. I'd hate to pull a Janet Jackson at my next orchestra concert. Imagine,
I'm drumming my little heart out and my dress is hanging down at my belly
button...
Today is my mom's birthday. I feel sort of weird making nipple jokes on such a holy occasion, but I also have a belief that being in heaven refines peoples' wits. Who's to say I wasn't channeling her just now? She was a writer, you know. And she had a great set of bookends.
I think it's time for me to go do some book work.

What am I going to do with the final day of my car's registration? I'm
going to a fabulous Oscars party, of course. The host is the man who teases
me with promises of being my Book Star Tour personal assistant. His name
is Mr. Prince. Somewhere in all of this is a reality tv title, but I'm
not quite sure what it is.
When I get home, I have to put together some promotional materials to mail out in the morning (and send in my car registration renewal form if I get around to it).

Welcome to One Serving of a Fruit or Vegetable per Day Month. My body
is screaming for a cheeseburger, but I'm holding out for tomorrow's lunch
date with Captain
Gus. This imcremental new year's resolution kicks ass. My ass, unfortunately.
Somehow, my press release for the Old Dominion film festival is circulating through the KISS world. Today, it popped up on KISS Freaks. I love that website! And speaking of the documentary, the Docu-man interviewed with perhaps the best film school in the country this week -- at the request of Mr. Spike Lee. Regardless of whether he ends up there or not, expect gigantic things from the Living the Fantasy director.
I have book work to do, darn it.
March 2, 2004
I love the KISS Army. There's a thread going over at KISSonline.com's
bulletin board where someone wrote "There's a cool website about
a girl who wrote a book and made a movie about KISS" then others
responding "Cool" and "Rock on." Yea, KISS community!
I'm meeting with my copyright attorney tomorrow and I'm not sure what to expect, but I'm optimistic. I have work to do to prepare, but first I have to tell you...
I received flowers today from a singer whose name starts with S. I'm a lucky woman!
March 3, 2004
They were from my karaoke friend Steve. Not everything is about you know
who, although I'm sure that would be nice, too.
Things were wonderful with my attorney this morning. She gave me a boost of confidence and a feeling that I'm protected from being exploited - too much, anyway. I entered this project knowing at some point there would be pipers who wanted payment.
Old Dominion finally launched their film festival website today. Cheers to them for spelling my name wrong so in case someone throws the extra L into a google search, my info will still turn up. Bravo to them for not even asking me to send them a bio like the other presenters, resulting in one that didn't make sense. It's a great strategy for making the public even more curious about what the movie is about. Way to go, team, for not mentioning that I'm an alum, obviously to spare me any unnecessary pressure. I can't even describe how I feel about such attention to detail.
Well, maybe crappy ass would be a good start. (Continue)
