*sigh* I woke up this morning to learn my latest release is already on a pirating site. So the string of "takedown" letters begins...
On the upside, at least someone wants to read my book, even if they're going about it illegally.

Wow. That sucks. I hope you're successful in getting them to remove your work from their site.

Sigh indeed. I wish I had a (useful) easy answer to that problem.

My experience with venison is limited to chicken-fried deer steak (blech) and deer jerky (...oddly addictive).

Mmm, deer jerky sounds good.

I still have to make hamburgers and bake a loin with my grandmother.

And if reading about food isn't making you hungry enough, I have granola bars in the oven and plans for other baked goods...

And dark chocolate :D

That sounds vaguely... creepy.

:D

but the deer jerky sounds really, really good. Shame I'm already full to bursting.

... which brings to mind that scene in Alien. Hmmm. Perhaps a different turn of phrase is needed.

oh, and how do I thank the plot smibble that visited me sometime this afternoon and gifted me with a way out of the particular problem I've been having with this section of my WIP for *months*??

Do I leave a saucer of milk out for it or what?

I'm not trying to trap it.

It's already done it's job... and unlike Fen, I have no desire to have to skin and gut my food.

Besides, I can't imagine there's much meat on a smibble.

Compared to a smerp, certainly not.

I went out to a wine bar this afternoon to be a supportive spouse--they were having open turntables this afternoon for amateur djs to spin records. I ate fancy cheese and stared off into space plotting while my sweetie played P-Funk and Bootsy. And now--off to write! :D

:tongue

And smibbles are actually unique in the animal world by defying physiology and being 90% meat.

Smerps are actually only 80%. It's those legs yaknow.

Sure better than beer and sports :)

So, today, my 1 year old cousin was baptized, so had to wake up early and assist to mass and stay after and wait since there was another family in front of us, but at least the priest was entertaining (in the good way). We had a great lunch at a grill restaurant and got drunk on sangría, slept for 5 or 6 hours and woke up and was faced to a college paper I had to finish.

Now I was faced to a question every writer has faced. Work on your paper or work on your actual work? And I chose the WIP, if you excuse me, I need to continue comparing fonts.

I chose it was easier to stay up all night than to half-sleep and go. 3 hours for my presentation and 5 hours until I am allowed to sleep.

Good morning! *hopes Max got his homework done or at least came up with a really good excuse*

This morning on the way to work I wrote for a while and then decided I needed to write a short story where instead of the good guy facing off against the bad guy, the contents of two novels of different genre faced off against each other. Also there would be sparkly vampires.

I need coffee times.
