Making Up For My Non-Writing Week By Writing Like I'm Possessed

Well, I'm back from holidays, and I've spent most of my money, and look what I found in a bookshop in Brisbane: 

My apologies for the poor quality of the photo. I was giggling too hard to hold my phone steady. I swear that one day I won't be so surprised when my two worlds collide, but that day was not last Tuesday. I may have got so excited I punched my sister. 
I'm still more used to be a consumer in a bookshop, not a product. 
It's weird, because sometimes writing feels like it happens in a vacuum, that all those long hours in front of a computer don't impact on my everyday life of working my government job and paying my mortgage and occasionally getting the vacuum cleaner out. And even when a book comes out, well, that still feels like it's happening in that online world, so it's always a bit of a shock when I'm reminded that it's real
Okay, I'm going to put the crazy back in its box now. 
In other news, to make up for my week of non-writing while I was in Brisbane, J.A. Rock and I might have gone absolutely mad with our WIP, tentatively titled Under . Seriously, we started this thing three weeks ago (and had a week off while I was away) and it's already at 90 000 words. Yep, 90 000. Nanowrimo is our bitch! 
I've never written this fast in my life before. I think I have RSI. And some form of mental whiplash. 
And if that's not enough, I'm also co-writing with the awesome Heidi Belleau at the moment. It's an m/m (of course), dark post-apocalyptic novel set in Ireland. And it's great fun to write! 
Meanwhile, I'm pottering along on my Love Has No Boundaries story for the Goodreads M/M group. I mean, how could I refuse? Check out the picture and the prompt I snagged over at Goodreads.

The story's getting there... My problem is I keep looking at the picture and thinking there's no way I can do that justice!

*looks away before becoming mesmerised again*

Ery Ooh! More JA collaboration? Yaaay!!!!

It's very distracting... I understand completely...


Karma♥Bites ^.~ I may have got so excited I punched my sister.

Heh, isn't that what siblings are for—outlet for excess emotions? :)

But more importantly... Oh-la-la, Ms. Lisa! *drools* Snatching pic but may have to hide it so my sweetie doesn't get all down and start with the "well, when I was younger..." ^_^

(And sending loads of excellent writing vibes your way. Seems as if you've got plenty on your plate and the co-write with Heidi Belleau sounds intriguing!)

Karma♥Bites ^.~ Oh, yes! Most definitely inappropriate thoughts for a public thread. *smirk*


eta: Btw, Lisa, the link for "The Naughty Boy" went to a generic page. Is the book-specific one not yet set up or is it too soon for it to be featured? (Also searched but discovered that there isn't a GR book page yet.)

I thought I replied to this days ago! Damn phone!

There's no publisher page yet for The Naughty Boy, as far as I know. Probably too soon for that, but I'll update as soon as I hear.
