Hey guys. I figured it was time I get around to posting so here I am. Not much went according to plan last week into this weekend. Wednesday I had plans to go into the city to a wrestling party hosted by the Grapple Den. They have training sessions twice a week and I’m hoping to go to a few of those soon but I figured I’d go to a party where at least there wasn’t any immediate pressure to perform. I talked a friend into going with me and driving me there to boot. But the weather has not been cooperating. He was late and by the time we got to the on ramp to head to the Lincoln Tunnel the rain was coming down so hard that it was impossible to see. With the fact that I needed to get back and get back to working and the time it was we figured we’d just hit a diner or something quick so I called and checked to make sure that was cool and we did so. It was definitely not how I’d envisioned the night but it all worked out in the end.
Last night I went down to Tat’s to hang with her and her puppies. Not only was the train late 25 mins but a thunderstorm hit hard around the time I was almost there which meant she had to come pick me up in the pouring rain. It was really cool of her to do that but in her new armored SUV that wasn’t a problem. 
We’d made arrangements to go see The Dark Knight but when we got to the movie theater we found that they’d lost power an hour earlier and still hadn’t gotten it back on. The whole complex including nearby restaurants had been shut down. So I convinced her to take me to Apple Bee’s so I could have a coke and some of the spinach and artichoke dip that I love so much.
I helped her do some laundry, take care of the dogs, and organize parts of her room a bit. It was fun looking out her big windows in her room watching 3 starlings have fun teasing the dogs by flying circles around them and getting them to give chase. Later on she made me some awesome pasta and Caesar chicken salad. We watched an episode of Psych and then it was time to get ready for sleep so that I could take her to the train for work in the morning. She let me borrow the car so I could get to a Dr. Appointment today after I hung out with the puppies for a while.
My appointment went well and I got some things taken care of. In extremely cool news, some of you may remember that back in February I got an idea to approach Holly Lisle about doing voice recordings of her ebooks. I even did one of her free ebook mini courses as a test run. Well last week she wrote and told me she was ready to give it a try. I’ll be recording and delivering “How to Write Page Turning Scenes” for her. I’m very excited about the project! It adds to my big list of things to do but I’m hyped about all the projects I’m doing. Here’s the list, mostly in order of what’s coming up:
finish and get up Chapter 1 of Guardians
edit and get up Interview with Tee Morris and Philippa Ballentine
record the first two chapters of Holly’s PTS and get them to her for approval
record “Love Lines” with an assembled cast for Stories from the Third Wave 2.0
edit that and get it to Mur
find the voice of Erin
finish chapter 2 of Guardians
edit and get up Interview with Mur Lafferty
finish PTS and turn into Holly
edit and get up chapter 2 of Guardians
* write chapter 3 to read at DragonCon
All that is the plan before we leave for DragonCon. Did I mention I never do things the easy way?
