Thanks so much for the friend requests guys =) I love reading all the updates on the books you're reading! (I'm not loving how big my to-read pile is going to get though =D LOL)

The new GLAAD campaign for the transgender community is really exciting and moving. Here's a link for those of you interested =) http://community.transpeoplespeak.org/

Just when I thought I'd get out of the Linkity this week after only an hour, I got to the "Wha" portion =(

For those that don't know, there's a small thread where I sometimes post snippets and other things (like spoilers for NSI and previous versions of Shattered Glass). The thread is here on goodreads: http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/7...

You know your writing is taking over your life when you look up and realize your husband isn't there, it's 12:30 am and the last time you talked to him you said you were going to tuck him in. That was at 8:40.

I feel oddly inspired by the priest taboo. Is it just me? It's really so wrong, being as I was raised Catholic, but my priests never looked like this: Please, sir, can I have some more.

>8( Oh man. Is it okay to be angry when the moderator of a group sends out a mass email about their personal book? I mean seriously, I'm angry. This is not a personal group, not a specific author or publisher, this is a group meant for all authors and readers. Using the position of moderator to tell me about your book in that setting feels WRONG. Am I too weird about this?

Just got a letter from Smashwords. Paypal has revised their decision! WOOT! Censorship did not win!

This is about the coolest thing I've found out in my research for NSI: https://www.fbijobs.gov/428.asp I think I <3 the FBI

Oh, Cai, =( Can your teenage hormonal brain stop thinking about sex for five minutes? Especially when you're tryign to convince your damn LI that age doesn't matter? >>8(

I GET SO MAD WHEN MY FRIENDS HAVE TO HIDE WHO THEY ARE! When they feel alone and judged and as if they're doing something wrong by hooking up or just BEING gay. >>>>8( FK LL THE HOMOPHOBIC PEOPLE WHO MADE MY FRIEND FEEL LIKE HE CAN'T BE WHO HE IS! And feel guilty for doing what's natural and human and EFFING NORMAL! NORMAL OKAY IT'S NORMAL! SO MAD. MAD DANI IS MAD!

Three hours later...I'm still only at the beginning of linkity =( Although one of the links talks about boosting writing word counts \o/

OH. GAWD. It's FRIDAY... LINKITY. *gives up any thoughts of productivity for tomorrow* =(

I'm way too cover obsessed LOL. No matter where I go, or what covers I see, the best ones, if you ask me, are in the m/m genre. Period. No other artists can touch Moonlight, Tiger, and Smoke Dark Soul and Visible Friend.

If you haven't watched the trial of Prop 8 as portrayed in a play by numerous stars, including George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Jamie Lee Curtis, Kevin Bacon, Jane Lynch etc http://youtu.be/qlUG8F9uVgM It's rather stunning and I'm not ashamed to admit that I cried while watching it.

Yes, This. Oh gawd, my crush on NPH just grows and grows.

I've been thinking a lot about family and how I grew up in teh gay comm. which I called family. And now there's the m/m comm - another type of family. So what I want to say to everyone in this family is: Be kind to each other. Some of us have no place else to share our love of m/m. To talk about the characters and the romance. We're all we've got.

LOL Just got off the phone with family. My mother, father and grandparents have neither read nor bought a copy of my book. Neither has my sister or nieces. So much for nepotism lawlz.

I should go to bed now that I've devolved to talking about spanking my monkey and included Kate Sherwood in said spanking...somehow. It can only get worse...

Back to research. I intend on finishing these books tonight gdi.

ANother Friday being unwritten because of Chris's linkitys LOL. I've been on them since I woke up. I should be writing dammit!

Dani Alexander: Asking awkward and uncomfortable questions since 2012.

I have a cold. And it is the suck.

As I flitter off to bed, I thought I'd leave a little note that on my twitter page is another quote from Darryl. (Haven't decided if I'm using it or a variation of it).

Just a general shout out to say thank you for the friend requests =). I love your notes to me! <3

oh gawd. I can't deal with smashwords anymore tonight and it's ridiculous meatgrinder. May you all sleep well and dream of monster-truck-sex.

I should write a book on how not to respond to messages from people you admire. I'll start with Lesson 1: Have someone else write it for you. That way you don't prove you're an idiot.
