GRR!

I would like to say that for the record, BEC, you suck and have the most horrible timing.  An island-wide power outage for four hours was bad enough, then you give everyone else power and leave our street and a few other down from us off for another hour? And during the hours I was trying to work on the last of my 2yn assignments?

That’s just cruel.

Ok, so that last part doesn’t exactly have anything to do with the electric company but I’m bitter so screw ‘em.

I guess it’s back to trying to pop out five assignments by the time I got to bed tonight. I’ll be as shocked as you are if I make it but well, here’s to making an attempt. Worst case scenario is I just won’t have them done before outlining actually begins and just get them done before the second assignment in that category.

Alright, alright. Enough bitchery from me for now.

My fellow 2yners, I hope you guys are holding strong or atleast having better luck than I am. I know a few of you have fallen into some unfortunate circumstances and have either decided to take some time off or just found yourselves stuck. I know I’ve fallen behind on commenting lately what with myself being behind but I do still read them and I’m always left amazed. Not that I’m anything important but it helps a lot for me to know that others read what I’ve posted so I guess I figure it could help others knowing that.

I’m rooting for you guys and there are a lot of others doing so as well. Keep up the great work.

Playing Catch Up

This week is all about re-working and catching up in my 2YN assignments. It’s the last week of worldbuilding, as I understand it, and I want to be all caught up by the time we start on outlinning. 

So wish me luck.

I already updated Assignments 1-5, mostly just minor editing and re-wording, but I’m happy about progress. Took a break to post an update here. If I’m quiet over the next few days well then you now know why. I might post some quizzes and memes if it gets too ridiculous, but I don’t want to bog the blog down with that stuff.

Anyway, ’till next time!

Beautiful Death – A Review

“Luck is a four letter word.”

But oh, how lucky I am to have had the opurtunity to read the ARC for this story. And now I get to share all the lovely details with you fine people!

You all know by now (or atleast, you may have guessed) that my love knows no bounds for Joely Sue Burkhart’s work. If I didn’t know it before, reading Beautiful Death proved it.

This story is nothing like The Rose of Shanhasson. No, this story has a beauty all it’s own. No carbon copies set in a different time here. Joely weaves her worlds, characters, and creatures with such mastry you’re left in a state of complete awe as the tale unfolds.

And this one was a doozey!

Review Below:

But why are the sodas gone?!

So I woke up this mornning, went to the kitchen and opened the refrigerator only to find…

 We’re out of Coca-colas.

The Apocolypse nears.  

Need …carbonated goodness!

Withdrawl headches….suck!

It’s been quiet

Too quiet.

A breif explanation would be that I acquired a temporary job. Which is over, for now. Back to catching up!

Oh, and I just last night finnished the beta-reads for The Road to Shanhasson, second book in the Blood and Shadows Trilogy by Joely Sue Burkhart.

Believe me when I tell you it’s just as good as the first!

This woman has talent and a flair all her own. Her style is so…awe-inspiring! The beauty in her words, the passion; it’s magic!  Pure magic. What can I say, she just speaks to the fantasy lover in me. Doesn’t hurt that her stories ooze with epic romances either!

Yes, I’ll stop my frantic praise for now. That is, until I finnish reading Beautiful Death. *g*

 

Tales for the Troops

The Wandering Author has a marvelous idea.  

The gist involves writting stories for the men and women of the United States Military who are currently deployed. A project he’s tentatively calling Tales for the Troops. 

He also mentions that writers willing to participate should leave a comment on the original post, where you may find further information on the project.

TWA admits that he’s less likely to accept work from those he’s unfamiliar with but I wouldn’t let that deter you. He wants the best (stories) for the troops. Given what I know of quite a few of you who visit my blog on occasion? I’m more than certian you could give that and then some.

Definately go over and take a look, even if it’s only to see what it’s all about or to offer feedback on the idea itself. I’m sure he’d be most appreciative for your thoughts.

Dig the threads?

I did warn you, I’m never satisfied.
