A map will HELP, but a map won't cut it. If you read the previous pages there's a better explanation. Manhattan is not like London. If anything, it's like London's rebellious bipolar drug-addict ADHD little brother.

ETA: And I absolutely mean no offense to anyone suffering from Bipolar Disorder or ADHD or anything. That's just the best way I could think of putting it.

I have got a plan. It's short term, but hopefully, it'll mean that I can work on both projects at once fairly easily.

Sticks and Stones during the day, TMB in the evenings. Or something like that. :tongue

My new HP poster is up. Hoping it will provide lots of inspiration, despite the fact I don't think it's perfectly straight.

I went to a baby shower today for my 'honorary' aunt (I would've felt bad if I didn't go because one, she's my aunt, and two, she's been wanting a baby for five years now) and I have a headache. Partly because of the contacts and partly because of the noise.

Random question: Does anyone know of some nice, peaceful places that can be driven to from New York? It's a story question.

You can drive anywhere in North America from New York, technically :tongue be more precise. A town? A café? That's a really broad question.

I'm thinking a nice, mostly rural place Prudence and Connor could spend New Year.

I just emailed Marie Lu, author of LEGEND, asking if she'd be willing to interview on my blog. I hope she agrees! That would be so cool if she does!

There are tons of places in upstate NY. I can think of one place off the top of my head but upstate New York has a lot of nice rural areas.
Actually, try Skaneatteles, NY. At least I think that's how you spell it.

Thread's been slow today!

Anyone still around?

So yesterday my mom finished reading my first book. She's never read a book of mine in the decade i've been writing so it was a good moment to know she cared enough to read it. Apparently I made her ball her eye out at the end. So that's a job well done for me!

Fuck yeah! I love watching my readers as they're reading my stuff, I like noting their reactions. It's too bad they find it creepy/distracting.

Maybe I just need to use a remote camera.

Anyway, now I'm curious. Well done, at any rate. Reactions = win :D

Thanks. Although today i just discovered some heart breaking news.

So when i got my new laptop i realized something was wrong. Unsung Zero's was missing. No biggy, it was on my old computer. So now i have the urge to re-write it and went on my old computer which is now my moms. Its gone. Nowhere to be found. POOF! Disappeared like magic.

So then i started freaking out. It just cant be gone, i'm so careful with all my manuscripts. I tired looking at the recovery drive and everything... I searched the bowls of my old computer and its just gone.

One whole manuscript disappeared. WONDER-F*&^ING-FUL!!!!!!

This is really not what i need right now. I knew i had to re-write it in a different POV, but seriously... all of it gone?!

Lisa, dude, there are a million places that fit that description. They could be in New Jersey. They could find a nice place in Staten Island. There's so many things there. :tongue

Finally. The beginning and end of the storyline for Song of Silence is done. Now to work on that middle bit. Hopefully I'll be ready to start writing come March. So far it's looking like it'll be a trilogy.

I shall rewrite the index card. I think that's going to be the last scene, unless I decide to keep the entry/voiceover reflecting on the last year.
