reading

Just spent the last few hours reading ebear‘s HAMMERED, which was good enough to make me feel inadequate. This is normally a reaction reserved for writers like Guy Gavriel Kay and C.S. Freidman, so that’s some rather nice company. And it’s silly, because I just don’t *write* like they do, but clearly part of me would like to be able to. :) Anyway, good book, my favorite character survived through the end of the book, and the sequel will be out in July. Is good. :) Sad. There were no…

writing

I’m convinced that Nook knows when I’m supposed to be working. I can tell, because if I sit down and decide to play a little solitaire before starting to write, one of two things happens: either I play 3 games (my limit) and get not more than one or two moves per game, or I win the second game.

For the first time…

I’ve spent pretty much the entire day futzing around with book details. The manuscript’s 444 pages. Might be the biggest I’ve written. Goal for tomorrow: write one chapter of FIREBIRD DECEPTION. miles to Rauros Falls: 120.5 ytd wordcount: 74,000

meme correct responses so far

Updated with more correct answers. :) Aberdeen’s comment on this meme for me: If there’s a grey character, or a welsh nose, you’ve got the right pick. And if those two go together, well, that’s all she wrote, and Janne’s: Don’t know all those shows, but I’d randomly guess ‘the mystery-shrouded guy with the big nose’ for most of them . *laugh* That’s a pretty good rule of thumb, although perhaps not wholly accurate. :) Meme correct responses so far behind the cut tag, so people can keep playing:
