Around My Office: Exploring

The picture (taken with my iPhone) pretty much says it all...



I don't put bumper stickers on my car. I put them on my walls. This is the one hanging across from my desk. I see it every time I get up and it pretty much describes my approach to writing exactly. :D

Writng Update: 09 November

- FINISHED (04 November AM): I worked most of the day Saturday (03 Nov) and into today (04 Nov) to finish off my bounty hunter story. 44,915 words total (5825 words in this last push) for the finished manuscript. I still need to go through and re-read the last half to make sure I like the way it looks, but it'll be off to my editor soon.


- SUBMITTED (04 November PM): I got laid up with a

Book Recommendation: Starkissed by Lanette Curington

This is one book that is on my keeper, re-read shelf. I bought the ebook and loved it so much that I bought the print when it came out. The world building in this book is top notch and it's my favorite kind of story -- fish out of water.

Skyfall (Action, Adventure, Crime, Thriller - PG13)
It's a Bond movie so I'm going to go see it. :D



Lincoln (Biography, Drama, History, War - PG13)
I'm not to gung-ho to see the actual history after the fictional paranormal version that was the vampire hunter movie. I'm sure it'll be great, but it's not for me.

Writing Update: 02 November

- WRITING (26 October): Spent a large part of the morning, after getting up waaaaaaay too early (like 4hrs after going to sleep) putting 3862 words on the fifth in the 8-book Razor's Edge series. Yup. Not completely finished with Book 3 and Book 4, but I've already jumped into Book 5.

To make matters worse, Book 5 got away from me (stories do that sometimes) and I had to cut 1842 words to get it

Music: Bram Stoker's Dracula Beginning

TIMING!!

This is a total coincidence that I scheduled this post on 31 October. I thought I would have to shuffle around some posts, but nope. This spot was waiting for me to put this song here.

Totally fits the day and I LOVE this soundtrack. The movie is great but the soundtrack made it so much better. This is the music I listen to when I'm writing sinister vampires.
