you all rock. :)

You all totally rock. I’m going to send in all your suggestions and comments when I submit the proposal for SBX4 and see what my editor thinks. There are a lot of really cool ideas that’ve been suggested, stuff I can make work on all sorts of levels, and I have *no* idea what I’ll end up with, but I have a place to *begin* now, which is fantastic. *beam* Thank you all. And more ideas are certainly welcome. :) I did in fact read LAST LIGHT OF THE SUN…

and the rest of the day

I had really, truly not intended to write today. My plan was to read two books. But no. No, instead, having arranged lunch with , and having the first bit of SBX4 chomping at my brain, I thought I’d write a little instead of reading a little, because it’s easier to put down a book I’m writing than one I’m reading. 2700 words later the first chapter of SBX4 is done.

They’re standing up on their back legs smacking at it and trying to get it. *laugh* They’re leaving little steamy kitty breath spots on the window. :) I read SONG OF UNMAKING last night. *happysigh* Want the next book now, please. :) I was about three chapters in when I said to Ted, “*Man*, she’s a good writer,” and then I didn’t say anything else for…

a v. nice day

It has been, thus far, a v. nice day, and heck, I still have *hours* left in which to read another book. :) Ted and I walked down to Cobh to go to the post office and bank, though we were totally thwarted on the second part by the bank being closed when we got there (at 4:25. huh.). I did get some books put in the mail, though! And we stopped and had a piece of apple pie and cheesecake at one of the restaurants, ’cause dinner, which is…
