After my Monday being productive on every front except writing (I managed somewhere between 100-200 words), yesterday went along much more swimmingly.

Wait, "John Carter" is already out? It's been out for nearly two weeks, and I've been sitting on my butt doing nothing about it?!

*rushes to check movie times* Pooh, I'll have to go see it tomorrow, tonight's next local show doesn't start until 9:30 (LONG after my bedtime). I may have missed out had I not read greygirlbeast's very good review, and as I'm a ( Read more... )

That’s right, if you are a publisher, anthologist, or anyone ( Read more... )

I'm at a crab feed with family, R&B music blaring in the after party, so if I'm more jumbled than usual it's because I'm dancing between paragraphs ( Read more... )

This link from suricattus made me choke when I read it last night whilst in the throes of insomnia. I'd say it's NSFW but since it's about "Christian Porn".... *boggles* Make of it what you will.

Yay for insomnia, it means I have time to post an update to LJ. Woo. *yawn ( Read more... )

One of my favorite genres is Young Adult fiction. I read all kinds from JK Rowling to Kristin Cashore to Suzanne Collins. Why? Because its FUN, and the kid in me wishes they'd had adventures like that years ago ( Read more... )
