You know, some hotels and buildings don't have a 13th floor. Well maybe this book shouldn't have a 13th chapter.<br /><br />Then Chapter 19 will become Chapter 20. Which we know, is going to be MUCH easier to write.<br />It'll start a trend, this new funky thing happening authors do....<br /><br />And you will give me a large print (signed) copy of your new book and thank me for my stroke of brilliance that let you push through the writers' block. Maybe even dedicate it to me. <br /><br />ANd you'll tell your publisher it was me. And he will come and BEG me to write a book.
