• 09:55:11: Haven't done any writing yet this week... It's doing my arm some good, but I feel quite twitchy about it.
  
• 10:57:40: Ooh, all the forms for the new house have been submitted. Just got to wait for the credit/reference checks to be done...
  
• 11:35:24: I probably shouldn't leave all the critiquing for my writers' group until the day of the meeting
  
• 11:36:15: Especially not when I missed the last meeting and now have a load of catch-up to read through as well
  
• 13:02:43: @yolandasfetsos I'm jealous! Can't wait to see that film
  
• 13:06:26: Just had my first chocolate bar of the week and can really feel the sugar rush, lol. Apologies to those receiving insane messages from me
  
• 15:18:40: Wouldn't normally laugh at another's pain, but Noisy Annoying Professor just walked into a window thinking it was a door. HA!
  
• 16:03:33: @stephaniedraven I say keep writing and cut later - find it easier to work that way, personally.
  
• 18:18:10: 12 year old to mum: I TOLD you, I can't work like this! #overheardincambridge
  
• 23:08:55: @LKHamilton I regularly fall asleep to stabbing westward, strapping young lad and sixth. My man likes very aggressive metal!

I want many things

I really wish I could find an LJ layout I liked for more than five minutes.

Anyway, that aside, look at all these open submissions here! I really want to write something for the Monster Mash anthology because that just sounds awesome fun, and I could maybe do a Shoregrave short? I'd also like to do something for the Silver Moon, Bloody Bullets one. I had this great idea about setting it during WWI trench warfare and tying it into my Urban Wolf novels, but then decided I couldn't do that in 2 - 5k, so it might have to wait.

But Monster Mash! The possibilities are endless! Look at that list - aliens, gorgons, dragons, vampires, banshees... I want to go home right now, put on Famous Monsters by the Misfits and write to the extreme.

The girl also reads

I really don't talk enough about what I'm reading here. I shall rectify this immediately by talking about the book I just finished reading: Once Bitten by Kalayna Price.

 

( Snikt for review! )



I see from Price's website that she's signed up for several more books in this series, so, yay! Shapeshifters! And cat shapeshifters at that - I am all about cat shifters at the moment. They're the new black. I actually have about 5k written of a novella about a woman who injects herself with shapeshifter blood for great justice and ends up being a big cat. Haven't decided what type yet, and I'm not sure I'll ever get round to finishing it so it probably doesn't matter.

Anyway. Awesome, fast, fun book. I say you go read it.
