That just means they're juic-ay!

I have my own homemade poi, and I keep smacking my BOOKS with them. It's fun anyway.

This sounds like some kind of obscure religious practice....

Nope, nothing of the sort. Just my own klutziness.

For those curious, here's a cool video of a fire dance. The poi are the things on fire.*


*I am not playing with fire. Yet.

I usually outline/character chart/scene block until I get the itch to start writing.

Which, given how much I've *not* written lately, means I should probably go outline something

Just popping in while the hubby's dinner cooks. He'll have to get used to doing some of the cooking when I go full time. I'm predicting many uses of the fire extinguisher. This is a man who once melted a stove top kettle (he really did).

I had a good productive day. Both working further into my current MS and sending out my finished one to more beta readers to figure out what's wrong with it (thank you sammy!). If any of you wonderful purgies have the time to act as a beta reader for me too let me know! I will, of course, return the favor.

Oh, I've melted a few boiled-dry kettles and pots! AL's husband and I would get along.

Seems like a quiet-ish day in here. Did I miss big news or boo-hoos?

WD, you can join the circus now! Our whole finale is fire dancers, spinners, hoopists and breathers.

PAGE 7?! WTH people? How did you get to page 7 in less than 24 hours???

Still no wifi at my house. I'm camped out at cafe/restaurant, with my 10 year old, trying to squeeze in all my online stuff in an hour. I can do a ton on my phone, but I can't email docs that are trapped on my laptop.

LWalker - CONGRATS!!!! An R&R is a major accomplishment and I'm impressed by gumption

My short story is ranked #10 on the free romance fantasy list and I'm floored. It's not the NYT list or anything, but it's the best I've ever done and it makes me happy.

I think I'm gonna ban myself from looking at my booksc@n numbers.

*crawls in a hole*

don't look at them. here's my philosophy- I don't look at mine, because I decided I'm doing all I want to do in terms of promoting my books, so seeing the numbers isn't going to matter. If what I'm currently doing helps, that's great. If not, so be it.

Dawn, that's awesome!!!!!

Yay, Dawn!

Random question: If there were in existence a type of rubber bracelet that said "WWJJDD?" (What Would Jesse James Dawson Do?), would anyone want such a thing?

Yay Dawn!

Well I knew YOU would. You were just over here picking out what they'd look like.

OMG it's page 7 of volume 7 *rolls dice*

Oh wait a minute. I would too. This is a really cool idea!

*Raises hand*

Grats, Dawn!

I have lists, with dates and timelines, but no outline, charts.

I seem to have signed some sort of deal with the devil where in exchange for relative happiness, every single day of my life will include MULTIPLE episodes of me rushing around doing things that have to be done THAT DAY.

*collapses*

Glad it's over, Kris

Count me in, Tas

Tas - that's a fun idea and has the potential to spark a convo with someone who isn't familiar with your book.

Thanks for the congrats, guys. I haven't been able to see if it's lead to an increase in sales of my book, which is the goal, but I have my fingers crossed.
