hahaha...it's all good. was that a typo in the very first line??? hahaha...i'll point out anything i notice, k? (though commas are my nemesis so I won't touch those :D, ask joslin, she is my comma queen :))i haven't read it yet, only half of the first page. have to wait until the girls go to sleep so i can read uninterrupted. will try to get it back to you tonight, but is it okay if it's tomorrow? is this for school? when is it due? if it's due tonight, i will be sure to get it back to you some time tonight.

I am the comma queen. All hail.

I'm playin'... but if you need help, send it my way! I'll rep you my e-mail address.

what to do what to do
#1 beta read (which I am totally looking forward to doing but would require me to get up and go into the other room to print since I can never just edit and from the computer)
#2 try again to go to sleep
#3 watch eclipse for the billionth time
#4 write which would require me to turn on the light and chance waking the baby up
#5 finish reading a book for a review that was due in December which would also require the light to be turned on and chane waking the baby.
#6 play a computer game and just relax.

hmmmmm.

decisions decisions.

Man, the painpill I took for my nose is kicking in. I'm just rambling. lol

You are not. In fact, if memory serves, you removed a lot of mine in Kingdom Jumper.

Hey gals, checking in again. Just finished watching Sorcerer's Apprentice (seen it before, but Jamie hadn't) and regret trunking my King Arthur series. Thing is, most of it would have to be rewritten as the whole time jumping thing didn't make sense to most folks. Such a shame too. I have a 2nd book outlined and everything.

*strokes her chin* Mmmm, I see... continue.

Ugh, tonight is moving so slow. I want to edit some more, but my head is kind of turned to sludge. Too much freelance work and not enough me time makes me look like the blob.

Hi mel, hannah, joslin, panda, kyva, sage, and hope I'm not missing anyone.

Mel - I really loved the books and movies. I wouldn't have honestly seen eclipse so much if my toddler wasn't obsessed. He wants it playing over and over again because of the werewolves (aka "rars" as he calls them). They are the only reason he wants to watch it.

BTW Sage don't scare me like that. I went to quote and couldn;t. I thought I actually really did break the thread this time.

Night guys!

...my fantasy world...
Hiya!!

I accepted someone's offer of providing the music for the wine and art festival at my Synagogue. I'm a freaking nut...I don't play piano anymore. And someone wants me to help them with their modern opera performance...I don't sing anymore. Then I found two dead mice in my car...one of which I reached under the seat and pulled out his wet body...can anyone top that? This day officially sucks but my inbox is down 75 e-mails and I have a shiny new folder for unfinished beta reads.

MIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICE.

I have an irrational fear of mice. Didn't realize it until one ran under my bed when I was up with then 3-month-old babygirl. Hubs took some drywall out of our laundry room the other day, and found like SEVEN (very old) dead mice between the walls. Yeah. I love living in an older home.

But in your CAR??? That is horrifying.

Piano and singing will come back. You'll be fine ;)

Is anyone fnwing or did I miss it? Also, Look! Shiny new thread ;)

I was actually smart enough this time to add a link at the end of the last thread. No more will people be like, "Why do I keep refreshing and nobody posts?" when they get to the last post.
