# I write goo
I don't like saying, 'I write romance.' Goo is better (and more descriptive of the juices).

# I'm writing a short story I'll probably turn into a zine series one day
derived from anecdotes I write in my sketchbook from time to time.

# I may very well do :D
The way it looks now, it cuts from first person anecdotes to traditional speech bubbles quite a bit. Might have to sort that out, so it's not too distracting.

# Is this what you intended?
If not, is it actually a bad thing?

# It wasn't intentional at all.
But it is by no means a bad thing. I'm thinking of cutting it down a bit though.

# If you've never read Kurt Vonnegut's Breakfast Of Champions
It might make you feel a little better about playing fast and loose with style. It's really fun to read psycho jumpy stuff where you honestly don't know what the author will do next.

# THAT's why the nozzle is that shape!
Edit: also, getting a brand name like that into a fantasy genre book is going to be challenging. Maybe if there was a lemon-scented pet duck which lived in the bathroom... But the heroine would still have to rub herself on it. Could be considered animal cruelty.
