While I'm still in the research phase of the writing process, I'll give you an exclusive sneak preview of what I'm working on:
Chapter 1: What the hell happened? Waking up from your divorce-induced stupor and realizing that the dating climate has completely changed from what is was like, you know, back then.
Chapter 2: Taking stock before you take on stalking. The often-overlooked art of reflecting on the past before barreling forward.
Chapter 3: You're not as perky as you used to be. The good news is: neither is he.
Chapter 4: Taming your bodily functions. So you've spent the last eight years engaged in the sport of competitive belching. How to put a lid on it long enough to make a good impression.
Chapter 5: First aid for first dates. Or, what to do when he has a panic attack.
Chapter 6: Cunning linguistics. Which conversation starters are appropriate, and which ones you should save for your therapist.
Chapter 7: Remind me again how to get to first base? Including step-by-step diagrams and flowcharts. And a handy wallet card.
Chapter 8: I shaved my legs for this? Reframing a miserable date into a character-building learning experience.
Chapter 9: Whose baggage is it anyway? How to determine which issues are yours, which ones are hers, and whether or not it really matters.
That will have to tide you over until I do some more intensive research, or I sign my seven-figure publishing deal.
By the way... this idea is, like, so totally copyrighted now.
