Am very tempted to try running through a thick hedge, just to see if it can be done. Someone would probably get a bit annoyed at me for hurting their landscaping, though, so I probably shouldn't. Plus, I'm sure I'd end up with lots of scratches and leaves in my hair. Still, I really want to know just how hard it would be.

1. I'm in a reading slump. Not because there aren't awesome books out there I want to read, but just because I can't find the energy to open a book. Ridiculous, right? I miss reading, and I'm still buying books. Not reading and buying books at the same time is kind of a problem. My TBR stack is growing. (Actually, it's a TBR drawer. I'm out of ( Read more... ) -
Checking in
(Woah. My paid account (gifted by the fabulous david_bridger last year) just expired and the ads are already driving me crazy. How does anyone function on LJ without a paid account? I'm renewing this year, but those ads just might chase me away in another year. Ridiculous.)
I'm alive! Mostly. I apologize for virtually disappearing the last month or so. I have a ( Read more... ) -
Revisions
Yes. Still. I don't know why this round is so damn difficult. It's not like the first round in which I had to write entirely new scenes and do a few big changes. Most of the tweaks are just that - tweaks.
And yet, progress is slow. I have a list of 5 things left to do. 5 little things. On Friday, I had a list of 9 little things. At least I'm making ( Read more... ) -
Fight!
I'm excited for the UFC fight tomorrow. It's between George St. Pierre and Josh Koscheck. I'm 100% rooting for GSP, who's the reigning UFC Welterweight Champion.

Are you wrapping air for Christmas?
I just discovered a huge problem with e-readers: I don't want to buy people e-books for Christmas. It's like giving someone air. Air doesn't look so good wrapped under the Christmas tree.
I want to buy good, old fashioned, tangible books, but both my mom and my grandmother have e-readers, so I'm not doing that this year. I'm really bummed about ( Read more... ) -
Everything is distracting me today
I'm so ready to be finished with my revisions, but making myself sit down and actually work on them is a challenge this week. I'm distracted by everything. For example, right now, there's a cricket on Trey's jacket. Not an on-it's-last-legs-going-to-die cricket, but a very bouncy one. I hate bouncing crckets. They're worse than spiders. Much worse ( Read more... ) -
Titles and contracts and revisions, oh my!
- jmeadows post yesterday made me realize that - oops! - I haven't let you guys in on a little secret. Okay. It's not a secret, but the title of my book has changed, too. It wasn't a surprise at all to me - author Sandy Blair has some hilarious stories about title changes - and I've been wondering since August if I would get to keep FISSURED as the title.

I just saved 8,000 lives.
With just a few keystrokes. A certain event happened in my book as part of the backstory. I wrote that ten-thousand fae died.
Ten-thousand is a huge number! This was just one city. It was a fairly large city but, really? 10,000?
No need to overdo it, Sandy. Two-thousand. Two-thousand is a much more believable number. -
Board Game Geek Con!
It's me!
I know, I know, I fell off the face of the internets these past couple of weeks. Real life stuff had to be taken care of, the holidays came out of nowhere, and then there was this board game geek convention.
Yes! A board game geek convention. Actually, THE Board Game Geek Convention. It's put on by www.boardgamegeek.com and held every year ( Read more... )
