(no subject)
I'm looking forward to getting back to work on Under the Surface - while I haven't had time to do any actual writing, I've had a lot of things to muse about and consider adding to Chapter Nine after finishing early in some of my exams. And some of these things... well. I think it'll be interesting to see everyone's reactions to the chapter after the action unfolds. ;]
On a totally miscellaneous note, I really, really need to stop buying books at the market. I've accumulated a huge pile of them right next to my bed at this point and it doesn't show any signs of stopping soon. The problem, I think, is that for every book that I finish reading at home, I find four more to buy at the market the next week... I'm going to be very overwhelmed by it all one of these days. So, I've decided to stop conveniently going to the market until I finish my list of books. Which, as you will see if you check it out below, is rather long. :|
