New toy!

Well, I'm now the proud owner of a QuickPad H45 - just picked up a used one on eBay for $17.00 (including postage). I'm still waiting to see on my NEC MobilePro, but this QuickPad looks pretty good too - 100 hours of battery life on 4 AAs, and it's pretty much like a little Alphasmart, from what I can tell. When I get it in, I'll let folks know what I think of it.

More later - gotta go make dinner so I can run down to Nashua and get my bracelet. After I get out of work, I'm picking up HP 7!!!!

And here is my prediction (no spoilers, as this is a spoiler-free zone and I haven't read any of the stuff online) for who bites it (since Jo Rowling has been saying for a year that she's killing off characters): Draco and Neville. I don't think she'll kill Harry, but she's been building Neville up. I think he dies and saves everyone.

Just my predicition. Next week, we'll see how close I was. :)

Metrics for Blood Sacrifice

Goal for the Day: 750
Actual words written: 966

Starting line: Shanna winced as the girl raised her head and keened, a long, low, undulating sound that scraped across nerves wrung raw by the echoes of sex and pain that coated the area.

Ending line: “Go for it.” Shanna nodded to Justin, who let his shields fall. “Let’s go. We need Rick again.”


Darling: The dead girl screamed, then laughed; the edge of madness laced through her cries ripped at Shanna’s heart, an ache of regret that would only vanish when her killer was brought to justice.

Good Things: The body is no longer adorning the church's front lawn.

Mean Things: Shanna lied to the police chief.

Yup, worked on the short story today. I needed to get some Shanna on the page.
