Today...

[concertigrossi]

I should have done a lot today.

I have 4 and a half hats to prep for the craft fair in two weeks. The house is, eternally, a mess. I should have been sorting and folding Mt. Washmore. I should have been writing. But what did I do today?

I read the newest Pratchett, Making Money.

I will now squee like the cheesy little fangirl that I am.

SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Does anyone else get disheartened with their own stuff, right after their fave author comes out with a new book? I swear, I'm looking over the drafts now, and all I can think is that I will never be as cool as Terry Pratchett.

*sigh*

But still, new Pratchett always makes me happy, so it's a net gain for the day. :)

Indeed. Every time I read something by my fav authors (James Lee Burke, Cormac McCarthy) it whips my ass good. But I like pain, so it works for me. ;-)

Mt. Washmore...and here I thought that particular mountain existed only in New England bedrooms!

:) Have you read The Road? A friend of mine keeps going on about it, but I'm not sure I can take something that sounds that depressing.

Mt. Washmore? Sadly, no. :) One husband, me and two kids: I feel like Sisyphus, sometimes.

Yes, and it was fabulous! I was reading The Road when I started writing Luna Noctiluca.

It is depressing, but enlightening at the same time, and I've always been a sucker for the post-apocalyptic setting. ;-)

Cool...

Maybe I'll have to give it a try. :)

I know the feeling. I read through my drafts and think "who on earth would ever read this if they could read that?!" - it's normal, I guess. But you are your own brand of cool, so no worries. :)

"your own brand of cool."

What a great phrase. :)
