Two Book Reviews. . . and Life (and a question)
I'm already behind on reviewing my Reading Challenge books, but I plead sickness-- last Saturday night I was on my way to bed when I slipped and fell down the last couple of stairs and twisted my ankle. It's doing much better than I would have expected that first night-- I felt like I was going to faint in the immediate aftermath, and my ankle was ( Read more... ) -
A new post! (And a new resolve)
So I say this every year, but this time I mean it: I'm going to post more. I'm still reading, but just got out of the habit of posting. But now I've got a good reason to post, which will hopefully keep me at it.
Lots of stuff going on since my last post, which if you're following me on Twitter and/or Facebook, you probably already know. My last ( Read more... ) -
Popping in for a quick question
I have a catching-up post in draft, but I thought I'd just pop in for a second to ask a couple of quick questions.
1) Are any of you thinking of going to LeakyCon this summer (you totally should if your aren't; it's a blast)?
2) If you are, would you like to be on a "I Survived the Harry Potter Shipping Wars" panel with me and connielaneLet me know so I ( Read more... ) -
Full circle, kind of.
A little less than ten years ago, I got on an airplane all by myself and flew to a place full of people I'd never actually met before, but who I felt like I knew better than many in my real life. It was, barring meeting up with one local fan on a book release night, my first experience meeting people in real life that I had only known on the ( Read more... ) -
If it turns out that the nanny did it, I'll never recover. . .
So, this is happening:
The dead girlfriend of Manti Te'o never actually existed.Having lived through the Ms. Scribe Saga, both in real-time as my friends were getting accused of vile things and security at Nimbus was being discussed, and when the true story was told on Bad Penny, I can actually believe that he was the victim of an elaborate hoax, ( Read more... ) -
I'd like to thank my nose spray and decongestant for making this post possible.
Ugh, my friends. UGH. So two weeks ago I kept getting headaches every day. Weird headaches. As in, all the symptoms of a migraine except for minimal pain. I ended up going home from work early nearly every day. Then last Tuesday (I think. It might have been Wednesday? Hmmm. I'd better make sure, because I have to enter hours on Friday. Bleh) I ( Read more... ) -
So. It's been a year. Umm. Sorry?
I was looking at my flist the other day and glanced over at the calendar and went-- oops. It says November 2011. It's not like I hadn't planned on posting more often-- I can even remember starting several entries-- but somehow, it just got away from me. I can't pretend that the less time-intensive mediums of Twitter and Facebook haven't been a big ( Read more... ) -
November is a BAD month for NaNoWriMo
Work has been KICKING MY BUTT, PEOPLE. Super duper busy. And then I get home and have tons to do, and the end result of it is that it's now November 15 and I've written approximately 500 words. (Although if I counted all the emails I've sent at work, the last couple of weeks, I'd be at at least 15,000!) Luckily, though, the crunch time is mostly ( Read more... ) -
Turning over a new leaf
I thought about doing NaNoWriMo. Not for a novel, because my only ideas for novels are still incredibly nebulous. Rather, I wanted to work on that non-fiction book I've been wanting to write. But unfortunately, the amount of research I'd have to do would preclude me from being able to write 50,000 words. Then hymnia came up with a great idea-- write 50, ( Read more... )
