Afternoon reading and other stuff

[yendi]

I've been trying to convince shadesong to write the next damned part of placesyouhaunt asap. This is why I prefer graphic novels to comics, dammit -- I hate waiting for the next part of a story (Edwin Drood, anyone?). I'm damned proud of what my sweetie's writing here (and having seen what she's been dealing with firsthand recently vis-a-vis all the physical shit she's been going through, I'm even more impressed that she's putting out something this good).

EDIT: She posted the next part as I was writing this post. :-)

It's not quite as deep, but The Onion's dead-on with their piece on Dick Cheney returning to Camp Crystal Lake. Although I personally can't imagine Dicky Dick getting his hands dirty.

Howe's gone! Hooray! Now if we can only get rid of the Wilpons and Duquette, I'd be real happy.

Gmail folks -- watch out for this scam. As always, anytime someone emails you asking for your password, assume it's a con. It will be.

Now I realize that this is a reflection of what's going on in my life, that I am so tuned in to this comment but ... you're amazing. You're great husband material. Reading her work and loving it because it's good (not just because you love her) and supporting her with her writing even if it sometimes makes her into a growly person ... wow. You rock.

He so does. I'm a lucky girl.

Still makes me anxious, though, in the "Do you really like it? You're not just saying that because I Know Where You Sleep?" sense.

Now he needs to write more!

Eeee. *hug* I love you everso. Everso everso. Et cetera.

Impeccable Timing Lass strikes again! *nods* The Anthony's-journal stuff just started eating my brain, so I had to go home for lunch and write some of it.

Also - you are the most wonderful and patient man in the world. In general, but I'm saying so now specifically in reference to the physical shit and the way you're helping me through it...

*hugs*

Thanks, but I also have an unfair advantage -- since I also write, I'm already on that page as far as understanding where she's coming from.

Not to mention, I suspect that a lack of her writing would make her into a growlier person. :-)

*nod* Got lots of writing to do (including wanting to actually finish my Bookslut stuff on time this month).

And I'm not bullshitting about how good it is!

Well, you need to be writing fiction as well!

Aw hell yeah.

*squee!*

what she said. :)

I'm totally with you. I HATE serial stories because of the waiting (especially if they're good). I usually try to wait until they're all out before I start a series (still waiting on that whole Wheel of Time series to be finished so I can start it - I refuse to wait 10 years). That's why I just finally started Stephen King's Gunslinger series. The end is near!

I love shadesong's Shayara stories, but since I'm kind of coming in the middle of the creative process, I'm still learning the characters and sorting out the timeline and such. This story, however, has me utterly hooked!

*grin*

I've said the exact same thing about Jordan!

don't bother with the Wheel of Time. I bogged down in book 4 or so when I couldn't remember if I'd read this chapter already. That's how formulaic and soap-opera-ish it was.

I suppose it's a matter of taste, but it seems like he was doing the worst kind of serial pulp.

I could be biased, I suppose -- I was going through my divorce while reading this series, so maybe it was me. (needless to say, my relationship at the time wasn't as supportive as you and shadesong. Y'all are so cute!
