that a printer will work just fine as long you’re fucking around and printing non-important stuff. But the minute you need to actually print something that MATTERS, it wants to get all pissy. :cursesign:
Nah I don’t REALLY need to print something like 9 thousand pages for mini ARCs. :shoot:
Watched AI last night. Wasn’t that impressed. But then as a whole, this year’s offerings? Eh. Yeah, I know, that whole subjective thing (like we aren’t beat over the head much with THAT concept in the writing world) I still like Blake and Chris. They don’t have that whole bland personality thing going and they really do have talent.
I got the second version of my cover for Undenied yesterday. Anne and I had a really funny conversation about the first cover she sent me. The concept was there. She did a fantastic job of giving me what I wanted. The problem was the guy on the cover. He was…for the lack of a better term…fruity looking. He had this funky smirk. He was too pretty and too preppy. He was dressed up in some kind of evening suit. In other words he was completely wrong for the hero. :headscratch:
When I wrote back to Anne, I told her that my hero was a t-shirt wearing, football loving, beer drinking, good ole southern boy. Well, and there’s the fact that I’ve never written a preppy, pretty hero in my life. Not to say that there’s something wrong with them. I just don’t write them. :lol2:
So she sent me back a cover with a different guy, and the result was someone who looked and “felt” more like my hero. I lurve it when a plan comes together. I’ll show you when the powers that be get a chance to offer their thumbs up or down on it.
In WRITING related stuff, you know, job crap, I was behind in my page count last week. Pissed me off but there it was. I busted ass over the weekend, wrote my hiney off on Monday and yesterday. Last night I added up the pages and to my shock (and great joy) I’m now only 17 pages down from the collective total I need by the end of THIS week. :banana: AND I’m now only 27 pages from being at the halfway point in the book. :faint: I soooo need a rock the fuck on icon. Am going in search of one now hehe.
Oh looky what I found :rockthefuckon:
:lol2:
The weather was gorgeous. I could hear the wind chimes tinkling and the birds chirping as I was writing. Speaking of writing, I got 20 pages done yesterday. Would have probably gotten more done but I spent 3 hours on the phone with another writer pal. Sometimes those conversations are more valuable than pages done. Because those kind of conversations can only be held with another writer. They know where you’re coming from. No matter how much another friend or family member loves and supports you, they just don’t understand all the issues a writer deals with like another writer does.
AND I actually cooked supper last night. :fainting:
My poor husband is probably off at work wondering what the fuck happened to his wife. The kids are probably not complaining. They don’t know who the strange chick is who was wandering around their house last night but they’re probably rather keep HER.
I’m still trying to spend my amazon gift certificate I got like two months ago. I have a few books in my cart but I just can’t find anything that screams BUY ME. I already placed my eharlequin order this month, and I should get those books right before our fishing trip for spring break :cheer: I’m thinking it might take awhile to complete that Amazon order…
This week’s to do list
1. Send overview of the book we talked about on Friday to my agent (I’m excited about this one)
2. At some point, open the galleys for Her Majesty, My Love and start going through the book again.
3. Write a gazillion pages on Dark Desires (ok maybe not a gazillion. I’ll take 70)
4. Ponder the mysteries of the universe (my favorite way to procrastinate)
5. Flesh out proposal for follow up to Dark Desires (I’m in the mulling process)
