Quirky Conversations with Unknown Entities
Hello, Life.
Hello, Cindy.
Well, I’ve decided that I’m going to get a grip on you, and hold fast. The days go too quickly for me, and there’s so much I want to get done.
I’ve heard this before.
Stop being snarky. I am going to do this…I’m going to write one thousand words a day and clean a drawer a day. That way I will become neat and organized and get a book done. Aha.
I’ll believe that when I see it. I do want to know one thing…we both know you won’t do it, so why do you post it on line so everyone can be witness to your failure?
And this sort of attitude, ladies and gentlemen of the jury, is why they really say life sucks.
Anyway! I had a lovely weekend…Cion sent me a dragon’s eye and purple magic, which was tremendously awesome. In my book, during one of the high points in the story, magic starts flooding the ley lines, like rivers. And each different kind of magic has a different color. So, it was rather wonderful and marvelous to get a vial of the most rare magic of all from a wonderful friend.
I also spent too long playing Sims 2. So long that as I do my life things, the sims music keeps playing in my head. As I was walking I realized that the main song was flooding my ears, and I was wondering if I was walking along to the beat. But, Bon Voyage is about as close to a beach as I’ll get this year, sadly, so it’s been fun to play. I managed to build some really pretty castles, too. (Not sand, home-castles.)
Moonlight was actually pretty good. Not great…but good. I am always relieved when I see something with Vampires + Detectives that they still aren’t like Balancing Act. I live in fear that since things take so long to get published, I’ll look like I was copying an idea when in fact, I had it before someone else did. Still, history will look at the copyright date, and not at my blogs…
OK. I go back to work now. I managed to get a bunch of really hard stuff done, and wanted a short brain break. Now to do a really important task…

Rainy Tuesday
I have to confess, my love for Bruce Campbell is growing in leaps and bounds…it’s always been there, because I think he’s just neat, but after re-watching The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr (Which makes me want to know why Jules Carey isn’t a huge star? he’s such a good actor…his timing is brilliant…) and now I’m netflixing Jack of all Trades (Napoleonic War comedy! Spies! Swashes! Buckles!) I am reminded how much I just adore that guy.
I need to watch Army of Darkness again. I’m not huge on comedy, but I like these for some reason…just so pleasant.
What else? It’s rainy out, but it’s spring, warm, delicious, spring. I adore this time of year because I love the rain and the flowers, and the temperature is pretty much optimal for me. I am not a hot weather girl, so weather that’s satiny warm is perfect. I do have something I like about all times of the year, I think it’s silly to love one season much over another, because I am trying to keep myself from that ugly cycle of wishing my life away.
I haven’t written much of late. I burned myself out a little, getting Chocolatier’s Wife done in such a short amount of time, and I need to ease myself back into one of my partial books. I really want to finish the Water’s Edge duo because that will mean that I will have written three books in a year, but that’s a little much, really, because I will probably have to rip out huge amounts of what I have done.
We’re entering the busy part of the semester, so I am solidly occupied for the most part. My father is home again, at least…and Sophie the cat is home…so the family is together again. I am getting close to done on the doll house, putting in ceiling cove and baseboards now (I also still need to reinstall the roof and attic) and I’m overall pleased. I have 6 inches (or in Dollhouse terms, 6 feet) more in both my living room and bedroom because I got rid of my front porch. Sad, that my dollhouse no longer has a porch, but I never saw it anyway, and I feel a dollhouse is really more of a creative display case for the tiny cool things inside the rooms.
I have been reading, thankfully, and that has been lovely. I am almost done with Hannah March’s delightful A Distinction of Blood. I love all of her Robert Fairfax stories, which take place in a wonderfully imagined Georgian England.
