BETA READERS WANTED! Check out this post for details
Saturday, Mr. Maul and I spent the better part of the day at Danny’s Family Car Wash. I spent $157 getting my car washed, seriously detailed, and an oil change. We didn’t get out of there until mid-afternoon. Apparently, everyone else had the same idea because it. was. Crowded. We had intended to see a 515 showing of 500 DAYS OF SUMMER, but when we got there, it was sold out! We didn’t find that out until after we bought the tickets. Instead of going to the counter, we went to the DIY ticket dispenser thingy. I imagine they would’ve told us at the counter, thereby saving us $14. We weren’t expecting a huge crowd for this movie. It’s playing at what I refer to as the “indie” theater. We were given passes, though, so maybe we’ll see it this weekend. It looks funny.
Sunday, we found out that our kitty has a really bad urinary tract infection. Poor thing. She’s trying to use the bathroom and only little drops are coming out. We have to give her “animal penicillin” for the next two weeks. Orally. Twice a day. As in drops. Yeah. Not fun. She acts like we’re trying to kill her. Mr. Maul has to wrap her up in a blanket and then practically shove the syringe in her mouth. This must be what it’s like when you’re trying to get sick kids to take medication. What’s worse is that we have to go back two weeks after this, get the second bottle, and do it all over again. For another two weeks. Needless to say, she is so going to hate us.
Writing Movements – Nothing yet. As you can see by the big notice at the top, I’m currently looking for beta readers for Book One. I’ll be sending it out to have it professionally edited soon. I started the revision process for Book Two, but had to sideline it while doing additional revisions for Book One. When it comes to writing and revisions, I can’t multi-task. I have to concentrate on one thing at a time or it doesn’t get done. Once I send Book One out, I’ll get back to Number Two.
School Daze – I’m preparing for orientation. I have to go to Prescott at the end of the month and I’ve been getting info by mail and email. Two weeks before I leave, I’ll find out my Core Faculty. I’m both excited and nervous. This is a very out-of-the-box experience for me, so I think it’s going to take some getting used to. They’re already asking me to come up with a name for my first class! Yikes! I have a generalized overview of my program, but I’m not quite sure how to break it all down. I have a feeling I’ll be conversing with my BF soon.
OT: TRUEBLOOD is gettin’ good! I’m starting to understand what Maryanne is, but Sookie and Bill need to get their asses back to Bon Temps. There is some serious shit goin’ down!
So, that’s it for me. How was your weekend?
