Ok. This is all about looking for book titles. I am not normally a person who has a hard time with book titles. The Strongbox Chronicles, though, are not easy for me to title. I’m now starting the 2nd trilogy of the series, which features a new main character, Carmen Davenport. Before we go any further, let me encourage you to go read this post, so you have a sense of what I was trying to accomplish with the titles for the first trilogy. Ok. Now that you’ve read that,…
bug
There is either a bug on the outside or a smear on the inside of the living room window. It’s driving the cats insane. 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.).

The last episode we watched had me in heart-palpitating nervous agonies over what would happen with the guest star and her relationship with Michael, so I’d say it’s all good. *happiness* *geeky happiness* :) I got out of bed this morning, pulled on a robe and some fuzzy socks, and bobbled downstairs to read Gail Dayton’s THE BARBED ROSE and Laura Resnick’s DISAPPEARING NIGHTLY. DISAPPEARING NIGHTLY was a…
good news/bad news
The good news is, the book is done! 77.3K, and I’ll probably add a bit more when I do revisions. The bad news is, the duplexer on the new printer didn’t work all that well, and skipped a page around page 80, so by the time I got done printing the first half of the manuscript, it was pretty much all buggered up. So I ended up printing the second half single-sided, and the second quarter is going to suck a lot to edit bcause I’m going to have to…
