SERVING THE TRANSFORMERS COMMUNITY SINCE 1998
JULY 2008

The sun shines behind me I press toward the darkened clouds Rain falls clean and free. That's where I want to be. I walk from a throne of glory, I desert a crown of bloodshed I walk from eyes of burning desires And move toward redemption. I am small. yes, very small. I am a pitiful thing who once believed himself a god. I am not. I walk from the glory of death I leave behind a cult of destruction I seek the clean sweet rain: the promise of happiness beyond my own inept imagination. I did not deserve it. I could not work for it. But it was there and I accepted it because it was free. Redemption was free for me like the falling rain. like the sweet soft breeze. like the colorful dancing leaves. I don't need a crown of blood I do not desire sacrifice I do not crave the innocuous respect of murderers. I just want redemption.

One Friday afternoon, the Cafe staff were surprised by a visit from T.L. Arens. She stopped for a bit of coffee and some of our specialized cinnamon swirl coffee cake and morning buns (you can also find these at Starbucks and they're very good.). As she nibbled and jotted notes in her journal, the attending waitress asked how the writing was coming along. "There is a drawback to writing an epic," she answered, "it's all about time. It is impossible to sit and write all day everyday, even if you had the opportunity to do so. Most people need to work to earn money. Some of us actually take breaks to do dumb things like eat, sleep, even watch a movie on occasion."
But the waitress, dying to know how the writing was coming along, insisted T.L. tell her about the story, particularly DSR chapter 10. In her customary, teasing poise, T.L. grinned, sipped her coffee and blithely explained to the girl that for every page of chapter 10 she had previously written, she was adding at least 3 more pages to the story. "Chapter 10 was originally 92 pages," T.L. explained. "Now it's almost past 200."
We had to find smelling salts to revive the poor waitress.
That being said, we humbly asked T.L.
if she'd consider splitting chapter 10 into 10 and 11.
"Oh no," she all but sang, "This is my revenge for you guys pasting post-it
notes on the doors and windows of my car and apartment and snitching "Fangirl
Intollerations" off my desk. You want story, you'll get story . . . more
than you can chew in a single night. Payback bites."
Lesson learned here: don't mess with the writer.
Nuff said.
