A Light Through the Darkness

I honestly thought I'd missed out on this, but it turns out there are THREE days left in Mur Lafferty's Kickstarter program for her Heaven series. Mur is an amazing storyteller, and I've really enjoyed her Heaven series, and was bummed that it wouldn't be available as anything but a podiobook. Which isn't a bad thing, but really, it's another one of those books that SHOULD be available. So she did a Kickstarter program to publish it. Yay! If you haven't heard of Heaven, I highly encourage you go here and check out the Kickstarter project, since LJ won't let me embed the video for some reason. In other news, it's Opening Day at Fenway against the Evil Empire! And I have to work. Boo. :( But in support, I shall wear my Dirty Water sweatshirt and I have the game DVR'd! Go Sox!

(Yes, we're 0-6 right now. It's a sucky start to the season, but it's only 6 games in! We can still turn it around!)

And Stuff is what I'm planning on doing. The Red Sox game is at 7:10 pm - by then, I'll be ready to hang out in front of the tv.

To Do on a Sunny Saturday:
1. Morning Pages - already done. Trying to make this an automatic morning habit.
2. Make breakfast - banana pancakes. And the rest of the bacon. - mmm, banana pancakes. No bacon, though. Maybe BLTs for lunch tomorrow.
3. Make sausages for lunch.
4. Go get planetarium passes at the library for tomorrow. - Boo, passes for tomorrow were gone! They only had one per day. *sniff* We're going anyways.
5. Go to Goodwill for sheets and the bread store for pumpernickel bread. - Achieved! And some other stuff as well - but nothing huge. I needed a new cutting board. We have a cool Goodwill store - it's like a cross between Goodwill and Building 19. Seriously.
6. Clean the back porch off. - Holy crap, am I sore. But it's clean! We can use part of it!
7. Clean out the Escort. - Um, no. Not today. Too sore after the porch.

That's a good day. I'll be on Twitter most of the day - I think I'm bringing the laptop out to the porch to run iTunes, to keep me motivated.

Hope you guys have a good day!

Ignore the weather. Summer's coming.

So since folks in FM Chat (mostly WP and Kris_W, you guys ROCK!) let me blather, I now have PLOT for Last Rites. Good plot. EVIL Plot.

I'm actually getting excited to write this book. This is a good thing.

Deadline for final is December 31, 2009. I should have an outline by July.

Things are looking up.

Oh, and that broom in the corner? That's for the Yankees. :D

It is now officially spring.

Go SOX!

*sniff*

Red Sox defeat the LA Angels of Anaheim, 7-5. Red Sox take the lead in the series, 2-0.

2-1 Red Sox, with Jason Bay scoring BOTH Red Sox runs.

Manny who? :P

I'm drowning in zucchini. :p Seriously. Anyone coming to writers group tomorrow want some?

I'm glad folks like the little snippet I posted from what I thought would be the beginning of the new book, but I'm not using it. Yes, I'm being indecisive. I'm going back to the original beginning, because I realized I was fretting about nothing. If I start getting rejections saying "Starts too slow," THEN I'll look at changing it.

Tonight, it's Red Sox vs. Yankees (yay!) and I...

am writing.

Yes, yes I am. There will be much writing done, once I post the crit I did today. Oh, and making zucchini bread. LOTS of zucchini bread, most likely. Thank god it freezes. :P

More later.
