WORKING, WORKING, WORKING …

Yep, that’s all I’ve been doing this week. Working. The first Cyn/Raphael novella is complete and now I’m spending my nights with Lucas. Here’s a brief (very brief) taste of my darling Lucas. This one paragraph pretty much captures him in a nutshell.
.
All Lucas had to do was exert his will and the unfaithful bastard’s heart would shrivel in his chest. But where was the fun in that?
.
There’s lots of stuff going on in Lucas’s story. Unfortunately, not nearly as much in real life. Bummer. I have discovered a new TV obsession, however. I watch TV shows while I exercise to dull the crushing boredom. While in the hospital with my husband earlier this year, I discovered the show Criminal Minds. They kept playing the same few episodes on some basic cable channel that the hospital happened to receive. I swear, it was like five episodes that they just played back to back every couple of days. But anyway, once we got home, I went to Netflix and put them all in my queue. So now I’m watching them compulsively, even when I’m not exercising. That and The Closer. And I’ve just discovered another brand, new show, The Breakout Kings. Mostly I love Jimmi Simpson who I first met on the Dave Letterman show as Lyle the intern!
.
BUT … I am writing A LOT. My two writing partners and I have a March challenge going on. We’ve each set a pretty strict goal for ourselves for the month of March. We check in every day and harass each other (I mean encourage each other) into making our words for the day. If, at the end of the month, we’ve done it … we each get to sleep for about twelve hours! LOL Actually the prize is meeting the goal itself. All three of us are under deadlines, so it MUST BE DONE!
.
On the Kindlegraph front, it shouldn’t be long before I’m ready to sign away. I’m kind of waiting to see what Apple’s going to do on Wednesday. If they’re introducing the i-Pad 3, which everyone thinks they are, the price of the i-Pad 2 could drop significantly. That means more bang for the buck, and a bigger hard drive for yours truly.
.
Ooooh, wait, wait … I have Buffy on television right now, muted so it won’t distract me, and she’s fighting the big bad, the granddaddy of all vampires. Guess who wins? heh, heh
.
I do have one new review of the Vignettes up this week at Bea’s Book Nook. So, you can check that out. But no new contests. I gave away five copies of the Vignettes in various contests last week. I’ll have to come up with something new before too long.
.
Yep, Buffy just dusted the oldest vampire of all. Yay for the good guys! And now she’s cutting Spike loose. He’s all tortured and beat up. Brings tears to my eyes. :’(
.
Okay, it’s back to work for me. Lucas is calling, and while he may be just as cute as a can be, he’s not one to be kept waiting!
.
See you all next week!
