What Time Is It and What Are You Doing?
Oh ok and i wouldn't like that book
Mod
I'm sorry to hear that, Christine..:( But to each their own, I guess..

Yeah, that is true. I just wanted your opinion, because I have heard it called that on many occasions. And in order to determine if I think it's his masterpiece, I would have to read all his work.
It's 9:20pm and I'm (sort of) watching a science show about parallel universes.
9:25pm ET. Cuddling and listening to some old R & B with the hubby. with about 2 or 3 books... :O
9:09AM just finished with coffee and finished Rage of the Bachman Books. Was a very good read for being one of his firsts.
It's 12:37pm, and I just completed Phase 1 of Operation Business-Card-Dump. Turns out I didn't need to be as sneaky as I thought I would.And now it's time for lunch!
1:03pm ET. Lunch time at work and a lot of TMI going on.... hehehehehehe.. started The Ruins last night.

I LOVE Alice Cooper. Poison is my favorite song of his.

Where do you live, Dustin? It's 2:38PM here in South Boston.
(Enjoy your coffee:))"
I'm enjoying it very much, Kyle. We live in Washington state. Thank you for asking.

8:56pm ET. About to eat lots of cookies and milk, while reading. @Kyle; If you go to TX, you must visit San Antonio and The RiverWalk. It is wonderful. Sea World is there as well. Austin is very pretty and they have this one strip down there that have wall to wall clubs and bars. Back when I was a young soldier, we partied like no ones business. :)
Germany is absolutely beautiful and CLEAN. France is the same, but the people are rather snooty.
I think we should take a group tour and visit Stephen King in Maine; who's with me!!??
Oh, yes, let's crash Stephen King's party! (Does he have parties?)Hi, I live in Oregon. Portland area. What part of Washington do you live in, Dustin? It's 10:18 p.m., and my butt is sore from sitting at the computer too long. Been working nearly all day on my story, and it's almost done. I figured out the missing settings. Now I just have to decide which parts to keep out of my long version of the story, as opposed to the short version. Both versions are within the required word count, so I would be fine if I used all the long version. Just depends on what works best now. Have sent copies to some people and am waiting for suggestions. Need to post a new version on the Silver Pen website, too. I'm tired. And I have been reading--not whole books or clear through from beginning to end, but research for my story. All American history, about the Revolutionary War, and a lot about Benedict Arnold. Certainly a very interesting person to read about. And a great person to write fiction about--especially when you throw in a devious vampire!

8:36pm ET. Chilling, listening to raunchy music, eating my brownie and chilling some more... :D
It's 9:47 p.m., and I'm glowing over finishing my horror story . . . but I'm going to read it over one more time to see if there is anything more I can do to improve it. I am happy at the way it turned out, and so are the people who have been helping me out on SilverPen.org. Tomorrow afternoon's the deadline, and if this publisher doesn't accept it, there are two more waiting to consider it. I have never been so popular!Have been chillin' on Facebook, talking to friends who showed up there, and eating mushrooms and cucumbers in blue cheese dip.
Tomorrow I'll get back to my homework. Must finish the final by Wednesday night.
It's 11:20 just got home from running errands, now looking for something to eat before I tackle the rest of my must do jobs for the day.
It's 2:57 pm ... just got home from one job and on the way to the next. Found out that I've been accepted to a graduate program ... so excited.

Wow, that's so awesome, Michelle! Big-big congratulations!! I'm so happy for you!!!
Thanks guys! Really looking forward to beginning grad school.

it's 9:03 and I'm on the phone with one person while keeping another person on hold. ...Now I'm back to talking to the person who was on hold. Was finding out if there's a writer's meeting tomorrow. Finished and submitted my story today at 3:48 p.m. I'm hungry. I am relieved to be finished with the story. Will have to wait 2-4 weeks to find out if they will publish it.
It's 12:19am and I'm reading my GR messages, watching my Los Angles Lakers beat up the Denver Nuggets.
It's 7:40 AM and i'm hanging out with my mom
Thanks Robin!It's 7:58 am and I'm getting ready to go to my first job for today and then off to the second job again tonight. Retail during the holidays can be exhausting.
I can't believe your working on the weekends
It's a weird day outside where i live right now
Where i live it's cloudy and it's about to snow right now
It's 11:51am and I am shamelessly promoting my novel The Land Beyond the Portal in this comment.Also, I am drinking passionfruit-mango-flavored green tea.
It's 10:36 a.m., and I am SUPPOSED to be in a Skype writer's meeting, but no one else has showed. I am worried about the one person who is unaccounted for, who said he would be in the meeting today. I can't get ahold of him, period. In other news, I got out my Christmas decorations, and I'm looking for a notebook with some writing in it that I want to type up. Can't imagine where it's got to, and I really could use this piece for our performance that will be done in March. How frustrating!
2:48pm ET. Chilling and checking out other peoples books on GR. About to finish reading Thr3e, since i am on limited internet time. internet is down until tech can come out; modem sucks or cable to house is down.. not sure which; so using our wireless box... which is expensive.. :(

Hopefully a tech can come out soon and fix it. At least you have some internets. :) And.....books. :)

Breakfast is more tasty when someone else makes it :)
5:08 I'm making pasta and garlic bread while enjoying a coffee with Baileys and the classic rock is rocking!

It's 5:59 p.m., and I'm trying to think what to do with myself. I'm too tired for homework or writing or reading. Maybe I can type up another longhand story or two. It's too early to go to sleep. Christmas music on my Christian radio station is playing in the other room. Earlier, I typed up "The Genesis of a Writer" and posted it on my blog here and on one other blog. In case you want to know how I became a writer, you can read it.

Just the radio, but they play great music on Saturday night. Cheap Trick, Queen, Beatles, Stones, Aerosmith ..... Lots of good sing-alongs. LOL
11:25AM and trying to get into Roadwork. Checking into GR for a break. LOL
It's 6:09 p.m., and I am doing ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. Still recuperating from that marathon writing spree (similar to a NanoWriMo, but with researching and editing galore and with a smaller word count in the end). I'm tired but not tired enough to nap, and waiting again for friends to be available for the writers' salon Skype meeting that never really happened yesterday. I looked on my blog and discovered I forgot to post the latest installment of my story last Monday. So I just posted it now. I have 3 more weekly installments to do. If you haven't checked it out, I hope you do, because I think you'll really like it. The tale takes place in a church, but it is NOT a typical church story. It's called "Manuel Pascal."
It's 9:36 pm and I'm planning Phase II of Operation Business-Card-Dump.
8:56pm ET. I keep wondering why I am online and not reading The Maze Runner. Ready to dive right in... :D
Mod
Go for it, Alondra! I have heard great things about The Maze Runner!

Well it was really very good, but I view several of his books as 'masterpiece' material. Hard to claim that for just one book.
