Ok, the down side to this weight loss thing is that it’s 73 degrees in my house and I’m COLD. For pity’s sake. o.O Halfway through chapter four of “Ill Met by Moonlight”. I’m enjoying my main character enormously, though she’s now toned down some of her personality quirks in favor of trying to get things done. If I’m lucky I’ll have enough words left over to add a bit more of her quirks back in, but 10K isn’t very much. :) Need to get chapter four done today. It’d…
YAY EBEAR!
HOORAY for EBear, who has won the Campbell Award for Best New Writer! *beam* Yay! *dances around happily*! Now whenever I refer to her I shall have to say “Campbell Award winning author”, like whenever actors who’ve won Oscars are referred to they’re called “Academy Award winning actor”. I’m sure it shall get ever so tiresome. :) YAY BEAR! *beam*! miles to Mount DOOOOOM: 24
“This is never going to work.”
Every time I take one of the size eight pairs of jeans out to put on, I look at how small they are and I think, “This is never going to work.” So far, though, it keeps working.

Besides, their sites are well put together, which is…
nothing specific
Any morning that begins with getting fan mail is a good morning. But now I’m procrastinating, reading about sleep paralysis instead of working on my short story. Perhaps a Thinks list will help. thinks to do today: 1. write 2. walk 3. write (unless I get a lot done with the first ‘write’) 4. bike 5. paint *considers it* Nope. Not feeling any more inspired. *goes to work anyway* ETA: 7. make jam There. Now I feel much more enthusiastic about everything. :)
