Yes, actually, because I have more or less prohibited them from doing so.

But not completely eh? I see your get out clause there.

I always used to offer to let them eat in the lesson provided they spent twice as long as it took them to eat it with me during their lunch-break. Requests tended to dry up pretty fast when they discovered that they would spend the time clearing up the rubbish from the school field.

Mean? Me? Why yes, naturally.

ETA: And now I'm hungry, and it's past my lunch-time.

It's a work travel day for me. On the upside, was up early enough to get in 15 pages of revisions. This makes me feel somewhat productive.

Now to the airport for a four-hour flight. Blarg.

Egads. Rewriting this synopsis this morning. Getting far too into this story again. *pets story*

Would that mean I get to read your book before it's published? :e2brows:

:D

Sadly, I'm not sure this one will ever see the light of day. But, here's hoping someone lurves it like I do.

*come out of editing cave for more hot coco. Stares at cave opening and whimpers*

I don't want to go back in. There's about to be a LOT of cutting and it's going to hurt.

:e2cry:

You can dooooeeeet!!!

21 Jump Street - the serious TV drama, rather than the campy send up film.

I am so incredibly pissed about this.

At first I was all: THEY MADE A JUMPSTREET MOVIE! OMGWTFBBQ!

And then I was all: What the $%^# is this $#!+?!

Library Thing? Really? You just HAD to bring that thing in here, where just anybody could stumble over it? As if I didn't already have enough on my hands with www.goodreads.com !



:D

Library Thing sucks. They charge after 25 book additions. Goodreads are free. Thus Gooreads are moar bettar than Library Thing.

:e2cry:

Yeah. Last night's editing cave session for me got a little hairy. sorry about the profanity on the walls. I like to draw when I get frustrated.

Yeah! Fez the Hat Velociraptor :)

(also, here's a new 'glamor shots' pic of Fezzy:

babies kitteh! omg! *dies of squee*

*comes back from the dead to complain* Why doesn't my gorgeous kitteh ever let me take pics of her that look like that? All she does is give me the ever-present smirk of disdain.

And good morning Cantina. I am 23 pages away from being done with the first pass edit. Booyah.

Focus on the conflict and changes...don't go into the light...

That's fine, Bettie. The obscene drawings, however, it's a bit much.
:D




I cannot conceive of a world without tbr lists. I simply cannot.

And, in other news, my single-parenting stint has been extended due to flight cancellations. Ask me how awesome I think this is, I dare you. :mad:

Totally this. I DID hear that Johnny Depp was going to make a brief cameo, but I'm not sure that's worth actually watching it. (Um, also no idea if it's already out here or if he did actually make a cameo; I think I just saw a preview for it at the cinema when I went to see The Woman in Black) :)

Aww, glad you like him! My other cat is camera shy like yours, though. I occasionally get lucky with a picture of her, but I think Fezzy is just a bit of an attention-whore. ;)

Go Bettie go!

I'm about to reenter the Cave now that Little Kricket is napping. But first I must stock up on milk and cookies. It's the only way I'll be able to get through this.

Bring out the :e2chain: and wear clothes you don't mind getting dirty, this is going to be bloody.

does it help if I say those were my impression of Hugh Jackman naked? (for some people - it does!)

and I agree about the tbr. I have over 200 in my goodreads list.

I hope the gentleman in question returns soon and in one piece...until you decide to rearrange parts of him.

And what really hurts? I luv Jonah Hill. I feel like he's punched me in the face. I don't know if a Johnny cameo will make up for it.

I'm with the little guy :yessmiley and thank you!

Go Bettie go!

First: thank you my friend! I went! I hope to go some more tonight. And for heaven's sake, load up on cookies! :)

Also: I need someone more responsible than me to tell me to go to bed at a reasonable hour.

Every night. I go to bed at like 1 am. That is very stupid when you have to be up at 7. Why can't I go to bed earlier? For reals. I'm like a little kid who doesn't want to go to sleep.

:Wha: Librarything doesn't charge until 200 books, and even then its whatever you can pay. Lifetime membership is $25 for unlimited books. Plus the interface is much nicer than Goodreads, I think.

Plus, the preference also depends on pure cataloging or just pure social communication with no real disambiguation of authors, books, etc.

Oye. Forget me arguing the social media book swag.

Did I mention that I hate Facebook?:Hammer::deadhorse

oh, I thought it was $25 a year... and I have over 400 books on goodreads... so... you see...

I also interact way more on goodreads than I ever did on library thing.

This.

Both my web-based and mobile versions are busted at the moment. Did all the troubleshooting recommendations with no joy. Put in a ticket and it's been radio silence for over three weeks.

Ah, technology. At least Chirper and Gaggle+ are operational.

I haz lots of cookies.

And I'm done with this chapter. Not quite as painful as I thought it would be, but still hard. Completely rewriting a scene is tough, it's like starting from scratch. I used very little of the original text and bumped the word count for that chapter from 1424 to 1857.

Adding words at this stage is good for me because I tend to under write in my first drafts.

Now to eat more cookies and watch some Stargate until Little Kricket wakes up. :)
