Try some; it's good.
Wherein I ramble about books, movies,
music, TV shows, my life, and occasionally, hot emo boys.

random tuesday
random link -- Looking for a new web template, but don't have a lot of money to spend? Well, I think I may have an option for you. Check this thing out. My non-technical mind boggles at how they achieved this. A new template every time you refresh it? Generated randomly? Theoretically, with a little patience, you might stumble across a very cool template, which they explain how to use for your own site, here. I could see how this would be an easy way to make (or update) your own website. Keep clicking until you get a design you like, save the code, and then start tailoring it to your needs. Maybe add a few pictures and a header... how cool is that?
random update -- After much contemplation, conversation with my husband, and consideration of your sage advice, I'm now writing Touch and Go. I'm supposed to work up a series overview soon. I gather that's like a synopsis for each book? But how long? A page? Two? Three? I've never done anything like this before, and given the fact that I don't write synopsises... synopses? WTF-ever. Before I write a book, I'm not sure how I'm going to manage this. If anyone has experience with this kind of thing, please guide me, I'm begging you.
I'm so excited about this series for reasons I probably shouldn't discuss yet. If you're really curious email me. Otherwise, I don't have a lot to report. Falling is still on submission in NY with various editors, and Touch and Go is flowing really well.
random searches -- Here are some random ones that made me laugh or made me go "Huh?"
plot holes + Nora Roberts
Why did that lead to my blog? I'm pretty sure I never discussed that.
gerard butler - naked butt - images
Well, I can't blame you for trying, but I don't have any.
banana sucking contest
What a great idea! For my next context, I'll make the entrants take a pic of themselves sucking a banana and post a link to the image in comments. No? Maybe not.
sperm props for Poser
WTF? What does that even mean?
hilary sares likes submission
Uhm. I hope this means she enjoys someone's manuscript, and not that she has a crazy stalker looking for BDSM fan-fiction about her.
random endorsement -- Monk. I love this show. Just finished watching season four on DVD, and the love story they've written between Adrian and his deceased wife, Trudy, is one of the most poignant I've ever seen on television. In most series's, I would be impatient for him to have a love interest, but I'm not sure I could accept it if he had one, now. He's Trudy's man, and it doesn't matter that she's gone. He will never, ever stop loving her. *sniffs* I'm getting verrklempt just thinking about it. *waves hands* Talk amongst yourselves.

My other favorite one-word series is House. Again, don't get to watch it very often, but he's sooooo tortured.
I also say write what you feel. If you feel Touch and Go (great title), then that's what you should be writing. I know I went off of a WIP for a while because I wasn't feeling the story and wrote something else instead. But I've gone back since then (and am crazily alternating between three projects, which is probably going to lead to a visit to a mental health professional soon, since all the voices are begging to be heard simultaneously).
I have to admit, though, I loved Guide and would very much like to read Maya and Darnell's story. So I hope you'll feel it, if not today, then someday soon.
Monk is on of my must watch shows...I still remember Tony Shalub(sorry not sure how to spell)when he plated the Taxi driver on Wings.Plus Monk is set in San Francisco and I'm originally from the bay area in California,so when I watch the beginning of the show I get that fuzzy feeling.*g*
I HATE HATE HATE that kind of stuff so much that it makes me all bratty and childish if I ever have to do it.
I assume it's your agent that wants this? Can't you just discuss it over the phone?
Ha, do you know what it MEANS, Rhi? I mean, you're in graphic design. Is there a huge sperm digital art movement that I don't know about?
PS Isn't that two words, Lacey? *runs*
I was always rooting for Dysher and Sharona. Stupid Bitty Schram insisting on more money.
I could understand if he was an Orlando Bloom, Johnny Depp, or any of a couple dozen popular actors with a slew of fangirls. But Charles Dera has quietly amassed a following of his own.
Gee, I wonder if you'll start getting hits just from me mentioning his name in your comments?
