My mind is racing and I can't decide if it's glee about feeling well again, coffee, or if I'm just high on life.

1. I've been reading Carrie Jones' Captivate and I love the way she's tied the pixies into a deeper mythology. I fell asleep reading Captivate last night and woke up with a head full of whole scenes for my own novel. How is it that ( Read more... )

writing, children's literature, nanowrimo, family, tangled, fun with friends, geekery, teaching is silly sometimes

Is it Celine Dion? OMG - I scared the cat laughing.

Love that OneRepublic song. And I'm glad you're loving Carrie's book. For a grown-up book with gods that will blow your mind, pick up Neil Gaiman's American Gods. You will not believe how many periodic elements of awesomesauce he shoehorned in there.

I loved seeing your name in the acknowledgements of Captivate... it made me very happy :) I can't wait for the next book, I want to know how they get to Valhalla and what, exactly Zara's gotten herself into with Astley.

Definitely going to have to check out American Gods, you're the second friend to recommend it to me.
