Because books.

Gud, you're awesome. Also, would you like to finish my book for me? ::weak smile::

In other news, I had a really crappy day, and a blogger posted a review of Cold Kiss that actually made me cry. She really got it! I'm stunned and so pleased.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Oh Amy, that's a stellar review! (and she's right, too!)

not your mom's socks.

Wow, Amy! That's an awesome review - she got the book, and you as well! I like how she ends it.

Wishing you an easy writing day.

I didn't say it here yet - go Gud! Huge accomplishments deserve celebration, right?

Yay Amy! What a great review!

Yay, Amy!

Thanks, guy. It definitely made my day.

Awesome review, Amy!

I finished chapter 28 and I'm 1,000 words into chapter 29 as I'm wrapping up Cog. Well, wrapping up the first draft. There's a lot more work to go.

I think I've finally become That Writer who can't work unless there's silence, ambient noise (like in a cafe), or classical music. I want to say I had this cool playlist for this book, and I probably will for the hell of it, but I just can't hear the lyrics and write at the same time.

I sometimes use music as ambient noise. I choose stuff I'm so familiar with that I don't really pay attention to it. Most of the time I don't play music at all, though.

I finished chapter 29 yesterday and I'm in chapter 30 now which is supposed to be the last chapter. Judging by all the things that need to happen it could be a long chapter. Maybe I'll end up splitting, but maybe not. Maybe a short epilogue or wrapping-it-up chapter too. Hmm... still very close, but maybe not quite as close as I thought.

“Not dead yet!”

eee! I was visiting the Smart Bitches Trashy Books and they had a video at the RWA literacy signing and GUESS WHO shows up! (for those who can't stand the suspense, it's our own Barb - with a shot of her lovely book cover)

And my glass of wine! Hee!

Amy, that review is so delicious! Like a slice of Key lime pie. She totally and completely got it!
