Real life has been insane, and I haven't been updating like I should. I signed up to do a Heroes fic based on Memento. I've been working on it instead of my 10+ WIPs. Also, re-read Thud! by Pratchett, read From a Buick 8 by Stephen King (usually I love his stuff, but that book should have been a freakin' short story, not a 350+ page novel. There was not enough story to cover that many words. I'm saying that, and I loved It.) , and A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini. I really enjoyed that one; it was much better than The Kite Runner. I also tried to read Archangel by Sharon Shinn. I read about 360 pages, but it was too bad to finish. "But Alice," you might say if you were reading this, but no-one is so you wouldn't, "how could you read 360 pages of a 390 page novel and not finish it?" The answer is because it was bad. It keep tricking me. It keep looking like it was about to get good, but then it didn't, and after so long I was too angry to finish. So I stopped.
Yes, I know I'm nuts. Look at the name I picked for my journal.
I should be posting fic soon.
Real life calls, I must go.
