This week went by even faster than the one before! I guess that\u2019s a sign of some\u00adthing. Not age though, shut up.<\/p>\nThis week went by even faster than the one before! I guess that\u2019s a sign of some\u00adthing. Not age though, shut up.<\/p>\n
Well, here\u2019s what I\u2019ve been up to this week:<\/p>\n
Works in Progress News ~<\/span> Con\u00adtin\u00adu\u00ading on the short for Olivia. I had to wait and see what these guys were going to do, I kind of put them in a pick\u00adle, but they worked it out, just like I knew they would. In the process I dis\u00adcov\u00adered some hid\u00adden bag\u00adgage, which total\u00adly explains a whole lot. Pants\u00ading is pret\u00adty fun when I learn these char\u00adac\u00adters just like a read\u00ader. I\u2019m right at 9K<\/span> words, and now I\u2019m work\u00ading on the big<\/em> scene. If I put my nose to the grind\u00adstone this week, I could have it done by next Sat\u00adur\u00adday. We\u2019ll see.<\/p>\n Indus\u00adtry News ~<\/span> I got noth\u00adin\u2019. Either there was\u00adn\u2019t any news, or I did\u00adn\u2019t think it was wor\u00adthy enough to remem\u00adber. Pathet\u00adic, I know.<\/p>\n Real Life News ~<\/span> I\u2019m off this week\u00adend to Den\u00adver. Going to take the kids for a lit\u00adtle back-to-school shop\u00adping and I\u2019ll meet some friends for lunch. It\u2019s pret\u00adty nice being able to make a day trip out of the city, it\u2019s also nice dri\u00adving away from all that at the end of the day. The short dri\u00adve is usu\u00adal\u00adly pret\u00adty good for my cre\u00adativ\u00adi\u00adty also, so maybe I can think my way through a WiP or two. \u00c2 Oth\u00ader than that, still enjoy\u00ading this gor\u00adgeous sea\u00adson of warmth and sun\u00adshine. Total\u00adly addict\u00aded to work\u00ading out\u00adside, my lap\u00adtop is cov\u00adered in tree sap.<\/p>\n Search Term of the Week aka How Peo\u00adple Found My Web\u00adsites ~<\/span> Okay, this one from Olivi\u00ada\u2019s dash\u00adboard just bugs me:\u00c2 \u201cposi\u00adtion secured free\u201d<\/strong>.\u00c2 I get a vari\u00ada\u00adtion of this every week, for var\u00adi\u00adous book titles. Just a sug\u00adges\u00adtion, if you\u2019re look\u00ading to pirate a book, you won\u2019t find it on the author\u2019s web\u00adsite. {swear\u00adword}<\/p>\n Hero Quote:<\/span> Today\u2019s quote is from Cody Camp\u00adbell, the cow\u00adboy hero from Wyoming Solace.<\/p>\n His eyes stud\u00adied her face for an inter\u00adminable moment before releas\u00ading a con\u00adde\u00adscend\u00ading snort. \u201cYou\u2019re a hor\u00adri\u00adble liar, Elise. I wouldn\u2019t sug\u00adgest you try that again. It doesn\u2019t become you.\u201d <\/p><\/blockquote>\n \u00c2 Favorite Song of the Week ~<\/span> Josh Groban has an amaz\u00ading voice. He could sing just about any\u00adthing and make it sound good (case in point: Josh Groban sings Kanye West\u00ad\u2019s Tweet Stream<\/a>) I\u2019ve got a few faves by Josh, this one ranks near the top. A South African song about apartheid.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u00c2 Well that\u2019s my week at a glance. Now get out there and enjoy summer!<\/p>\n\n
