So, I have an entire week off, and I'll be able to spend it writing full time. I can't wait. I'm hoping to get 1/4 to 1/3 of my book edited in that time. Probably closer to 1/4, but any progress is still progress.
I signed up to Twitter the other night and set it to notify me via phone. There's something weirdly addictive about sharing random thoughts with people and hearing their own thoughts.
And speaking of random segues, I finished with Janet Evanovich's
Fearless Fourteen. I bought it last week at a bookstore in Plano where Ms. Evanovich was having a signing. Unfortunately I didn't get a signed copy, because when I got there I found out it was going to be four hours before I could get an autograph. I couldn't afford to wait that late 45 miles from home, so I just bought the book (along with Jeff Somers's
The Digital Plague) and left. It was a wasted trip, but I don't regret going. I've never been to a signing for a super popular author, and if I hadn't gone, I wouldn't have known they were
that popular.
I suspect a couple of the authors whose signings I have gone to are soon going to find themselves in that boat, though.
