Ah, I am very comfortable with my new routine. Suddenly I find myself doing everything I wanted in a creative aspect and I manage to work and still be somewhat fresh. I just wonder how long this will last. Writing wise I am happy to announce that chapter 9 is finished and Samantha is on her way to the land of big bad girls waiting for her initiation. I am doing 6 pages a day in my journal and that is the new count although word wise I have no idea how many words I produce. At least I am getting things done and I have six more chapters to go before this incredibly short novel is done. Well the initial draft that is.
Now off to the main menu of this post and mainly the whole meme and tagging business. So chronologically speaking I was first tagged by
MusicLover and because of that I will do hers first. The meme is called the “Five Things Meme” and I present thee the rules:
1. The rules of the game get posted at the beginning.
2. Each player answers the questions about themselves.
3. At the end of the post, the player then tags five people, and posts their names, then goes to their blog and leaves them a comment, letting them know they've been tagged.
4. Let the person who tagged you know when you've posted your answer.

Now off to
Lady Blue and the all too familiar 123 page tag, which everyone still adores. I know I still do. *grins*
1. Pick up the book closest to you, right at this moment (no cheating you literary types!)
2. Open the book to page 123
3. Scroll down 5 lines
4. Share the 6th line with us by writing it in your post, making sure you add the book's title and its author as well
5. Complete the tag by tagging 5 other bloggers
6. And please do the favour of including a link in your post to the blogger that tagged you!
So for me it is “The Left Hand of Darkness” by Ursula Le Guin. This time for real. I hate when people name anthologies in two volumes with the work that is in volume two. Grr!
Pg. 123, line 6: “Here he would have received a much harsher punishment than exile.”
Once again I am being liberal and all that want can play the game. Yey! And now to conclude this post I shall share what kind of cookie I am!

You're often conflicted in life, and you feel pulled in two opposite directions.
