Linkage
May 17, 2011
I've been a bad blogger lately. I have no excuses except that May sucks and I'm trying to finish the current WIP on top of day job stuff. Having a nearly finished manuscript feels a little like having a ghost on your shoulder, pressing on you, never leaving. The only solution is to exorcise the motherfucking thing and kill it DED.
Pass a knife.
In the meantime, some links to Stuff Going on with Me:
* Two weeks ago at the ELEW, The Myth of the Likable Heroine
* Last night at the ELEW, Bipolar Bear (my own tips for writers dealing with mental health problems)
* My interview at Book Blather wherein I talk about writing, reading, and publishing. And also LOST in the comments.
* A lovely 5 Heart review at The Romance Studio of Bloodlines, saying, "Over all the book is great, with wonderful characters, a plot that keeps moving and some real surprises. If you are looking for something that not straightforward and expected this is a great book for you. It is one you'll want to go back to and read over again."
Generally I subscribe to the "don't comment on reviews" policy but I also like to show my appreciation for the people who read and review my work...so thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone who took the time to read the book and especially those who have reviewed it. It means a lot to me. (Also, I worked damn hard on revising the book, so it's nice to hear people are enjoying it.)
That's it for today. I have a long post of thank yous to supportive peeps that I have drafted and I'll post it just as soon I can find a way to keep my tough chick cred along with it.

#1 Oh, I think I would be hating
Oh, I think I would be hating May about now too if I where you ~ for you where hoping to be on vacation. But, I'm glad to see you are around anyway. :) Just hope you get to relax and enjoy your time some. Try to keep breathing, slowly. ;)
I have to say that pic is adorable. :) I think I'm about one of the few people left in the world that has not read or seen the movies. (and shame of the matter, I don't want to.) Is there ever a thing as to much hype for a book/movie? I think this one got it. How can EVERYONE love it? Oh, well.
Take care! :)
#2 *I* don't love them. I
*I* don't love them. I LOATHE. Loathe loathe loathe. From a feminist perspective, a writer perspective, and an editor perspective. (However, as someone who loves Mystery Science Theater 3000...I love the movies for a good ol' snark fest.)
May started with a stupid election that went badly in Canada and just kept going downhill from there. Thankfully, no one has died yet. It's just that every time I feel like I'm getting caught up with something, something else goes wrong and I'm swamped again. *sigh*
Take care to you too! :-) (And happy reading--I'll try to stop biting my nails now, LOL.)
#3 I try not to watch the news
I try not to watch the news to much as it depresses me and bums me out with the ugly world we are creating. But, sounds like that election was pretty ugly then. Hope all turns around some for you. :)
(And no need for nail biting! :) )
