Random Question: Where have I been?Monday was my 7th wedding anniversary and DH had the week off work. We spent some time hanging out with our two girls and catching up.
Random Question #2: What are those extra blogs all over your profile.
Well, one is still Top Secret. So secret we don't even have an official name yet. The other is a book review site that I've joined with friends called Book Faire. It should be up and running by Monday.
Random Writing Progress of the Week: I'm up to chapter 19 or 20 writing, and editing through 18 right now. How much I cut during editing will define what number chapter I'm actually on.
Random Promise of the Week: I'll be back to posting regularly next week. :o) Promise! I just needed some time for family this week and didn't plan ahead and any posts in advance. Now, I'm feeling refreshed and enthused and much more creative. Vacation is a good thing!
Random Reading This Week: I had a good stack of books this past week: Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, Relentless: Lost Fleet Book Five, and Magic Lost Trouble Found.
I have to admit, I devoured the Lost Fleet book and was a little slower with the rest. P&P&Z is good but it still lacks explosions. If I ever find a way to cross-breed Ludlum, Austen, and Campbell into a workable manuscript, I'll let you know.
Lisa Shearin's books is good too... I picked it up yesterday and I'm a good way in. It just took me longer to warm up to the fantasy landscape. Something about being down a gravity well no doubt.
So.... what's your random?
Squeals! Delighted you've had a break, with family time. You need a break.
ReplyDeleteHappy you're liking Lisa's book!
Friday random: I had indian for dinner last night.
I've really been wanting to read P&P & Zombies. Despite lack of explosions, is it worth reading?
ReplyDeleteDown time is so important - glad you had a relaxing week.
ReplyDeletefriday random: the peas and corn in my garden are poking their little green heads out of the earth.
It's nice to have family time. Congrats for making it happen.
ReplyDeleteFriday random: The sound of someone else besides me vacuuming my house is heaven.
My plan is to stay calm and relaxed...wake me when it's summer.
ReplyDeleteNow I feel all left out of both your special blogs. Why don't I have 10 extra hours to do stuff??? I look forward to your review site! I know all those involved will make it super spectacular!
ReplyDeleteGlam- 10 extra hours? What extra hours? Sweetie, we've learned to magically stop time for everyone but ourselves. I take an extra 36 hours a day to get things done. That's why I look so much older than you.
ReplyDeleteYuna- It was good. I ordered book 2. :o)
Anna Claire- I'm enjoying it. If Jane Austen had been a crazed zombie fan I think she'd like it too. It's a very tongue-in-cheek style.
Tess- I still think the guy in your picture is Spike from Buffy, maybe it's just the profile...
T. Anne- It's summer here! Completely with broken AC, 90 degree temps, and summer rain storms.
Lotus- when they're done cleaning there, send 'em my way!
