God, I’ve been a bad blogger, but, this also means that I have been quite the prolific writer over the last few months. Not just crap, but some decent stuff. I’m on another draft with a new beginning (changed the first 1/3 of the book).
The characters are better. The story is better. Last time the writing group saw it, they said, “This is it. This is THE book.” Good news. What also rocks is that the changes I have made will send some exciting ripples into the sequels (and stories beyond all set in the world of Feyn).
I’m nearly finished with my M.Ed. in adult education and am considering applying to a Ph.D. program for next year. I have funding that is good through 2015 and that can carry over into my Ph.D. program, provided I’m accepted. It will mean a lot more work, less time to write, but where there is a will . . .
. . . there is a creepy baby picture.
In health news, I had sinus surgery. Recovery was hardcore with lots of percocet. I also developed early onset of cataracts and will be having lens transplants soon. It means two things (in order of importance):
- I will get to wear a cool eye patch.
- I might not need glasses anymore.
As far as Television goes . . .
- The Walking Dead rocks this season.
- Once Upon a Time still sucks and I still watch it, thus I suck. (Fallacy!)
- The Winchester boys always satisfy on Supernatural.
- Being Human season 2 was not as bad as the internet led me to believe.
- Homeland is awesome, and creepy, and scary and uncomfortable.
- Fringe was my great find last year. I am officially a Fringe-o-phile. Last season is on air now. (Sniff)
- Arrow is pretty damn cool.
- Person of Interest is good.
- Game of Thrones!!111!!!
Movies . . .
- Loved the Hobbit. Interesting additions. Cannot wait to see Smaug next year.
- Looper was badass.
- Spiderman reboot was actually good. Really good. I liked it better than the Raimi versions.
- The Avengers. Yes. Just yes.
I have this new blog/website. I’m struggling to figure out the theme. It’s donking up my media when I try to add pictures (see baby up top) to my blog posts. This forces me to whip out the html which is not okay.
Writing group tomorrow. I gave them 3 chapters. Two of them have sex scenes. I think I’m just a big, dirty, rotten perv.
