Saturday Status 9/15/12

It’s the mid­dle of Sep­tem­ber. Do you know where your sum­mer went?

Favorite Song of the Week ~ I’ve had this song stuck in my head for three days, so I’ll post it here in hopes of shar­ing the earworm.

Okay, as usu­al, the first time I see the offi­cial video is when I post it here. I’m too much of a roman­tic to say I liked that one. Sor­ry guys.

Work in Progress News ~ Ugh. No news. I worked a lot at the part time job the last two weeks, I don’t think I’ve writ­ten a word in days. When I’m away from my wip, I feel guilty, like I’m cheat­ing. Next week will see my new refo­cus strategy.

Indus­try News ~ I’ve men­tioned the Espres­so Book Machine (EBM) before, and what impact I think it might have on the book indus­try. This week, On Demand, the mak­ers of the EBM, announced they’ve part­nered with East­man Kodak, and the company’s POD tech­nol­o­gy will be made avail­able to retail­ers who have Kodak Pic­ture Kiosks, includ­ing drug­stores and super­mar­kets. [Source] This is big, guys. Imag­ine being able to pick up a fresh­ly print­ed book at your friend­ly one hour pho­to. While you wait. I’m so glad I live in this decade!

Search Term of the week aka How Peo­ple Found My Web­sites ~ “erot­ic twit”. No, I’m seri­ous. That found me. ME! I’m not a twit, people!

What I’m read­ing ~ Am I the only one who pre­pares for a favorite author’s new release by re-read­ing his/her back­list? This past week I re-read one of my favorite San­dra Brown books because I sim­ply can­not wait until Tues­day, when her new one comes out. Play Dirty is a real­ly good roman­tic sus­pense that has sev­er­al twists, which I’m very fond of.

Hero Quote ~ Trevor, from Pre­View:

 “You know, the only way to prove you’re for real is wait and see if Vic­to­ria dies. I’m not will­ing to do that.

That’s all I’ve got for you this week. Every­one have a great weekend!
