It's a Writing Thing

Happy May Day all! It's raining and chilly here, so not so much with the "ooh, spring weather" but much with the drearies. Oh well, can't have it all, I suppose. ::g:: Not really sure how it got to be May as life has seemed so accelerated lately.

The meme/contest (sort of). I came back from Malice with a bunch of the teaser samplers. They contain the first 3 chapters of my upcoming book, Blood Bargain, plus the first 3 of Carole Nelson Douglas' new one, Brimstone Kiss. In the spirit of book pimps everywhere, I thought I'd do a contest. I couldn't really think of anything clever, so instead, I'm going to participate in the question meme that is going around and will send samplers to those of you that submit questions that amuse me. ::g::

Here you go:

If you would be so kind, ask me the seven questions below. Just copy and paste them into a comment, replace the blanks with anything you want--personal, silly, surreal (e.g. 3. Donkeys or sandcastles and why?), or deep--and I'll answer honestly as I can! Then post this in your own LJ and see what kind of things people want to ask you!

1. What do you think of _____________ ?
2. When did you last ____________?
3. __________ or ___________ and why?
4. What did you ______________?
5. What's your favorite ______________?
6. How would you ______________?
7. Who would you most like to ________ ?

Off work early so I can pack/organize for my writing retreat. Yippee!!! Four days away from work. That, in itself, is a minor miracle.

It's still freaking cold around here, and way too many roads with treacherous patches of snice** to nab the unwary, but no matter. I'm home and will be here for the duration of the evening.

Now to catch up on, well, stuff.




* So I'm part of Hiro's family, and oddly enough, I have a co-worker named Emi.

** snice= snow+ice

Sweet, THREE Gina Torreseses and FIVE Paul Grosses? AWESOME.

I love the milking vampires, too. ::g::

'Tis been a day. And soon, off to the company holiday party.

Snurched from viggofest, because I was amused.

In other news...SGA!! Full of plot holes, yes! Snarkilicious humor - of the finest kind!

Just caught up with this week's Heroes , but have yet to watch Veronica Mars or BSG.

I suck at fangrrl this week.

The 'rents, birki_lib and BIL arrive this evening. Plans are for a nice dinner somewhere - maybe at their hotel, then relaxing, as they'll have been on planes most of the day.

Turkey day= Air & Space Museum, and dinner at Clyde's.

The rest of the weekend isn't quite so plotted out.
