Some Bits of Good and a Bit of Bad

The good include:

2 new authors joining my authors' group. You've already met J. L. Langley briefly in my post below.

The other I won't name till it's official, but stay tuned. :-)

Another of my authors' 2 proposals have been accepted and now I'm waiting on the partials. :-D If (When!) accepted, these won't be out for a while.

I'm also waiting for Eve Vaughn to let go of Romeo Unleashed, the third book in her Blood Brothers series. I think she's afraid I'll steal the hunk from the heroine... and she'd be right!

Brenda Bryce has updated her Website to include some more items made by her very own talented hands. Check out the capelet and shrug, but especially the cute fuzzy green tote. I love it!

I've also added a bunch of links to this blog: some of my favorite authors, of all genres and print and e-book media, some great books on writing in its various aspects, and 2 new counters. I'll continue to add to the authors and book links as I remember or come across them.

The top counter counts visits indiscriminately, which means I can artificially raise the counter by refreshing my blog. Not that I would ever do that, of course. Ahem. The second counter, at the bottom, is a unique visitor counter. Tells me the exact number of individual visitors...though not who they are, of course. You'll have noticed that I've reset the top counter. It was heading toward 300 and is now slightly over 1/6 of that.

Chicken Little and Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire, as well as the first Chronicles of Narnia movie, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, are coming out soon! Yes!!

So those were the bits of good.

Now the bad.

I am going into the office today.

That's right. Today. Sunday. The day of rest.

The sad thing is no one suggested I do this. Not a hint, not an e-mail, not even a bribe.

No.

I, fool that I am, decided all by my lonesome that I would come in this weekend. Why, you ask -- in ginormous disbelief, no doubt.

Various things related to clients, timetables, and such. If I don't go in, I will have an even more horrendous work week and be stressed beyond the normal tearing of hair (I'm already practically bald to begin with). I don't want to do this (well, who does? the days off are short enough and the days on are too long) but it seems the lesser of two evils.

And before you ask, no, I don't get paid for the extra hours. I'm a salaried employee. Yee haw.

Let the fun begin.
