The day is coming to an end and I really needed to write here, to totally bring in my new year as a writer having something to say. My day did not begin with fanfare or drinks, it began the way that best reflects my style. Hot coffee – mocha flavored, of course – music channel on my TV – 80’s top hits – and my dogs by my side – huddling away from the fireworks outside. I read some stuff for homework and did some discussion replies, all is due by Sunday. I read the critique’s on my submitted chapters, agreed or saw merit in some comments, totally disagreed [honesty here, read that as got pissed off by] others. In fairness, the comments that pissed me off were ones where it was obvious the reader had no clue about previous chapters, and actually, were made by people who had read all previous chapters in our last class. Comments concerning the ‘sudden’ appearance of paranormal creatures… uh, folks, this is a paranormal romance and has been from day one. I never kept that a secret. Other comments/critiques that ticked me off were those that corrected grammar errors the character was known for. If it had been narrative, fine – I welcome fixes there; but, do not correct the way the character speaks or thinks!
M’kay, so I vented. I talked and texted with my daughter. I visited some websites – mainly to pay bills. Got about half of my bills for the month done, will tackle the rest tomorrow, I guess. Played with the girls a couple of hours, played some video games for a couple of hours, still need to get back to my laptop. My right palm has been itching all day – money would be most welcome! *laughs*
Still need to re-do my purple. Other than that, nothing actively going on; mentally, the brain is always moving and bouncing around. Don’t like that I’m basically only updating my blog once a week, still – I’d hoped once NaNoWriMo was over that I’d have more time and energy to get in here. K, so I am so outtie….
