Book Reviews: Cookbooks
Okay, the three cookbooks I ordered for my birthday came yesterday, and I got to go through them last night. Here are my preliminary thoughts (with the caveat that it's hard to tell on a cookbook til you've tried the recipes):

Help Me Write Dangerously!
So, as many of you know, I completed NaNoWriMo last year - writing my first novel.

Day One Update
Well, today has flown by, but the Novel Cram was definitely the right place for me. The teacher is FANTASTIC, and really helpful. The first part of the day was spent focusing on "prewriting" - determining the goal of the piece, your main character, their character arc, the inciting incident that starts off the piece, etc ( Read more... ) -
I am amused
I'll say right up front that I'm while I'm conservative, I do agree with this bailout plan, think it's absolutely necessary and hope that they get the thing passed. I also adore Paulson and Bernanke. I think they're geniuses. Love them ( Read more... ) -
Update!
Sorry I haven't been updating here as frequently. I've become hooked on Twitter, where I can post snippets about what I'm doing no matter what I'm doing - or where I'm at. Super convenient...plus, fun!
Still, I don't want to neglect LJ, so...
