"He's dead, Jim."

 Wherein Jack...talks

 I wasn't sure if I would end up posting today or not, mostly because my cord fell on the floor and I was feeling too lazy to get it and my battery was dying. If I'm fast I might not have to get it at all.
 Anyways, it is Saturday, and it is the day I usually give book updates. So I forced myself to open a new post, though I'm not sure where to go from here. Surely none of you wish to hear me say, "NaNo is going well. I'm where I should be." There, I said it anyways.
 Doing NaNo in the summer wasn't my smartest idea, reading was. Either way, it has helped me get over those Broken Blade runts I keep hitting and which keep bringing me to a dead stop, so it was worth it. Still, not sure if I will be doing Camp NaNo from now on. *Insert characters snickering.*
 And now that I've gotten all of that out of the way, what should I talk about? Whenever I sit down to just talk I realize how dull my life sounds. (This might account for my lack of friends outside of the internet.) It isn't as if I go out and party, or whatever else one might do if one is sociable. (I might try it someday just to see what occurs.)  My idea of doing something fun is going on a long walk with a book, finding a nice little place I can sit down and get something to drink while reading said book. Points if it rains, or if it is cold and I get to dress up in scarfs and long coats.
 Not that I mind these kinds of outings. I find them enjoyable and get restless when I can't go on walks. I start to pace the house and stare at Peter's name on my open document, trying to figure out why he is just standing there doing nothing. (Some of my characters have informed me that I am supposed to do part of the work in their stories. And here I thought they did it all.)
 So, basically, is there a point to any of this? Sure! *In a sing song voice* I'm reading a book most of you might have already read. And if not you should. (I shall not reveal the title, evil me, till I do the book review. MAWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!)
 But, to give a more update of what I've really been up to. I am now very close to finishing book two. I've had trouble with the last few chapters - it being summer and all and me wishing to be outside on our swing with my book - but I am happy with this second draft. Although, a certain someone did a certain thing I didn't wish him to do. And I sulked about it till he showed me that it had to happen for the sake of the cliff hanger ending. (Oh dear, did I say cliff hanger ending out loud?)
 The best part of this second draft though, is that I was better able to understand Peter. I've become even more fond of him than before, which I didn't think possible. (I'm a naughty author, I have a favourite character. *Inches away from Steed.*)
 I've also discovered that Kitty likes to forget her wonderful gracefulness whenever I'm working. She will walk across my desk and knock everything over, and when that isn't enough she will look for books to knock over - and let's face it, I'm not on a short supply of books. I'm starting to wonder if cats really are the best pets for Authors or if I should go with a bird or a friendly little Alien from another planet. (If you get that reference you get two cookies.)
 And now I shall end this prattle. *Insert clapping and cheering.* Mostly because my battery is close to shutting down. (See, I wrote a whole post on an almost dead battery. *Bows grandly*
 Okay, so that is it. I'm going to try very hard and get back into commenting and blog reading this next week. Once I have book two done it will give me more time for blog work. My goal is to have it done this week, but we shall see.
 For now I leave you, with a classic quote from Star Trek
 Allons-y!
