Woot
I added a bit more to the short story, so if you haven't gotten it, that's why. Will send soon to those who offered to edit.
Finally finished Shannon's Calen update. Let me tell you, there's nothing like laying in bed with a laptop across your knees writing porn until the wee small hours of the morning.
The laptop was a birthday pressie from SOAS and I'm obsessed with it.
I've gotten more writing done in the past two days than I have in months. Of course, I'm sure this little writing fest was influenced by Kim Harrison's latest and the Richelle Mead series I just caught up on. Both really excellent reads, but there is no one like Harrison and her Rachel Morgan. If you haven't picked up her work, trust me, you are truly missing out. Love, love, love it!
My birthday was spend in New Orleans with my brilliant niece who has been offered a scholarship to Loyola. Love, St. Charles, going uptown. It's absolutely beautiful. The street is lined with big, fat looming trees that dip down and nearly ever palatial home is landscaped with magnolia trees and crepe myrtles. Utterly beautiful.
The Loyola financial aid staff, however, were total miscreants to my niece and she was put off by their attitude, so I don't know if she'll be attending.
Still the day was a blast.
Again, thanks to everyone who wished me a happy one.
I really appreciate it.
