I’d have done this on my earlier post if I’d had slightly more brain, but silly me didn’t think of it. I have selected 3 wonderful and amazing numbers between 1 and 500. I’ll send signed copies of FIREBIRD to the 3 people who get closest to the numbers; you only get to guess once. Contest ends in about 24 hours, or as close to it as I log on tomorrow. And if you don’t win and can’t stand the wait, you can buy FIREBIRD here, through eHarlequin, right now.…
…tomorrow…
*mumbles* Tomorrow, I’m going to start HOUSE OF CARDS… Well, today I’m at least going to finish reading HoS and do a little bit of fiddly stuff on HoC, anyway. I slept like the dead for about 10 hours last night and feel much better. And it is an really beautiful day, so if I don’t get a lot done on writing but do get outside to walk the dog and exercise a little I’ll consider it a win. OH HEY LOOK I GOT BOOKS! Copies of FIREBIRD DECEPTION arrived…
tired brain

*clears throat*
I start writing HOUSE OF CARDS tomorrow. o.o I did open up the proposal and synopsis and read through them (ok, I didn’t actually make it all the way through the synopsis), and started fiddling around with a little bit of rewriting, but honestly, I didn’t get out of bed until after 9 or out of the shower til 10, and spent what seemed like a great deal of time ridding my poor thick head of what seemed like a truly amazing amount of snot. I have a variety of…
tis not too late to seek a newer world
Chance #3 is done. Something more dramatic happened at the end of it than I’d planned, which is rather cool and I look forward to the ramifications. I start writing HOUSE OF CARDS tomorrow. I’m setting my quota at 5K a day, because, frankly, letting myself do only 3K a day is being lazy. I’ll often hit 3800-4200 words on a 3K day, and there’s no reason to not work it up to 5K except hey, I’ve hit quota, so I can fart around now! There are a couple of…
