I was lucky enough to read that book, and I liked it a lot too. So I'll cross my fingers, my toes, my arms, my legs, and my eyes. (But then, when I hurt myself running into things and falling down stairs, you'll be sorry.) 

I thought Good Omens was very entertaining. I could at times tell that there were different writers, but I wasn't familiar enough with either author's style to make the distinction. I do remember that I liked the parts with Adam and the Them and the bikers of the Apocalypse (one of my all-time favorite quotes comes from them), and I got bored to the point of putting it down when we were dealing with the witchfinding agency.

Ah, here's the quote from the bikers! It was part of my TWG tag for awhile:

"Can I be Rubbish?" asked Skuzz. "Or Embarrassing Personal Problems?"

  Tee hee. I love that quote.

Can I have my own theme music, too? 

I want to see this. I've heard from several people that it is good. And I like Denzel Washington.

We'll see if I get a chance.

If that doesn't exist, maybe we should start it up. 

I am happy that I've been able to incorporate more writing time into my schedule. Of course, my schedule right now is decidedly lax (doctor's orders). The trick will be when I'm back in school or working or both to still be able to write 1,000 words a day. I may need to cut that down. But I think I'd like to try to devote at least 2 hours to writing everyday, no matter what is going on in my life. Then I can definitely keep this up.

I was searching DeviantArt for Fanart (I was cerious what was out there) and found this  that I think better fits Vin as well as the feel of the book... the background's dark, yet she's bright, kind of like hope.  It also still has that flight feel.  I would love to see them go in this direction a bit more... (sorry, that's my thoughts...)

I'll try to make that link work.

That is a pretty cool picture. What I think is even cooler about it is that someone likes EUOL's book enough to commission an artist to do a drawing of it.

As to the 2nd hardbook cover, it is much better than the PB of the 1st. I don't know why they are going for such a different style with the PB cover.

Well, if we go to hell, at least MsFish and I will be there together. 

I know, I totally wish the box set of Avatar Season II was coming out sooner, but I'm willing to wait  for it to come out rather than buy the individual DVDs, especially since I've already seen all of Season II on TV. Thanks for the offer of the loan, Sprig, though I'm not sure if it was of Avatar or MST3K. I'm getting Avatar Season I box set for Christmas, so I'm really excited, and I want Fish to see it because she hasn't and it is sooooo awesome. 

Well, I just decided to come to town, and Fish and I are going to do something awesome for New Years. After all, if my singles ward could have game nights on Sunday evenings, then we can certainly do something cool like have an Avatar Season I marathon (which is my vote) on New Years Eve. Or maybe we'll borrow an MSTK from you guys, because I haven't seen any of the new ones. And I'd like a rematch with Tage in Fluxx, or whatever that crazy game was, because I totally should have won.

My goal for next month is to write another 20,000 words. Taking everything into account, including my health and temperment, I think that is a challenging yet attainable goal. Plus, I did it once, so I know I can do it again.

I just hit the 20,000 word mark today. Woo hoo! Go me!!! 

That goal certainly turned out to be attainable. Perhaps not challenging enough. I'm going to have to up it. But, I have to factor in that Christmas is coming up, and that the holidays will allow less time for writing. I don't want to sacrifice family time for writing time, especially since I already achieved my goal.

So now I have 40,000 words on the novel I started with NaNoWriMo. Yay! I'm at least half done, and very excited.
