Eighteenth Draft [Accidental Video] Drunk is more fun

[cuffmeonce]

Nikki leaned across the table, her blouse gaping open just enough to throw the suspect off his game. Only a hint of a smile quirked the corners of her lips before she banished it for the dominatrix attitude that worked so well in the interrogation room. The truth was crawling all over the suspect's skin just waiting to be spoken. Heat could see it there and she knew there would be a moment when he couldn't stand it anymore, when he'd come to her on his knees begging to confess. She pushed herself away from the table with a smirk that clearly said you missed your chance

"You may not want to tell me the truth but you're going to. Sooner or later."

[Castle growls ridiculously then shuts the laptop and pushes away from his desk.]

The same paragraph. Twelve times. I can't write anything else. Nothing wrong with the paragraph but I've got to cut to the chase here. The same paragraph over and over isn't going to cut it.

[That's when he notices the video device is recording. It pulls another growl out of him]

I'm going for a walk.

I do not mean to be rude, but most stories have a beginning, middle, and end.

Re: audio;

[cuffmeonce.livejournal.com]

This one does too. This is a paragraph near the end. I'm trying to get it ready for a summer release.

Re: audio;

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

You mean the ending will be the same scene over and over?

Re: audio;

[cuffmeonce.livejournal.com]

If the City doesn't let up on this curse, possibly.

No. The ending will end with the bad guys getting caught, the good guys saving the day and possibly Nikki Heat and Jameson Rook actually embarking on something that might be a relationship.

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

Oh!

...What a ridiculous curse. I'm sorry you must endure it.

Re: audio;

[cuffmeonce.livejournal.com]

Yeah it is kind of ridiculous. I've been cursed with worse though.

I don't think we've met. I'm Rick Castle.

Re: audio;

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

I do think of it as harmless too, except for one's pride.

I am Caspian.

[cry-reaper.livejournal.com]

I'd offer to meet you, but I'm rather occupied at the moment.

[cuffmeonce.livejournal.com]

Are you forced repeating something?

[cry-reaper.livejournal.com]

Yes.

[cuffmeonce.livejournal.com]

Dare I ask what?

[cry-reaper.livejournal.com]

I'm washing dishes.

[cuffmeonce.livejournal.com]

Huh. Well it could be worse?

[playstheblues.livejournal.com]

Oh.

[cuffmeonce.livejournal.com]

Oh?

[playstheblues.livejournal.com]

I'm sure you'll get over your block soon, sir.

[cuffmeonce.livejournal.com]

Likely a curse. At least that's what I'm telling myself. You doing alright, Blue?

[playstheblues.livejournal.com]

As usual, yep.

[cuffmeonce.livejournal.com]

Good to hear. You don't seem the type to let curses get you down and I know you've been helpful to my daughter during more than one curse. Good sort of person to have around.

[horrible-protag.livejournal.com]

Fond of that bit, then? I can see why, it's good. It's got very nice qualities to it.

[cuffmeonce.livejournal.com]

Thanks. I agree but I think the repetition is a curse. At least I hope it is.

[horrible-protag.livejournal.com]

I mean, I'm not much into the dominatrix scene, but I suppose it's a good seller, isn't it!

Yes, hopefully. And knowing this place, it probably is.

[cuffmeonce.livejournal.com]

Well it's not really about dominatrix. It's more of an attitude that Nikki Heat adopts in the interrogating room. And it does sell quite well, yes.

That's my guess. How are you Captain Hammer?

[horrible-protag.livejournal.com]

Ah, I see. And where did you get the name Nikki Heat? It's quite intriguing.

I am doing well, thank you. How are you? Aside from the curse, of course.

[cuffmeonce.livejournal.com]

I made it up. It's meant to be. Besides I like the sound of 'Detective Heat'. It's also something you can do a lot with title wise. The first book is Heat Wave the second one is going to be called Naked Heat


Aside from the curse, I'm doing great. Things are finally starting to settle a little in the City for me.
