Hi,

Yes, I know, how dare I waste my time updating this thing when I should be dutifully writing the final chapter of Harbinger. The good news, it's almost done. It is, however, the longest epilogue I've ever had to write. The reason: I want it to be perfect. Unfortunately, perfection apparently turns me into the master procrastinator. Currently, it's over 5000 words and 11 pages long, and I have yet to write three major parts. I hope to have it done in two weeks, maybe if I can stand to watch Twilight for the fourth time in two days, I'll get it done. And Twilight, it seems, combats my writers block somehow. I don't question the way my mind works.

On another note, I recently crashed my '08 Chevy Cobalt. Caught a patch of black ice and put her in the ditch doing 60km. My entire life flashed before my eyes, all 23 years of it. And as I was standing on the side of the highway holding my bloody nose and doing injury inventory, I realized it would have been a shame had I died without finishing everything I ever started. Talk about forcefully kicking my muse's butt back into action.

For a minute, let us talk about the Lions of Hogwarts - the WIP that haunts my hard drive. With the completion of Harbinger, LoH becomes my primary fic, and the only story I currently have active on ff.net. It shall receive my complete and utter devotion, as long as I can find my notes and plot papers.

Today, I add Kresley Cole and Minda Webber to my list of favourite authors. Both are wonderful writers who have created amazingly awesome worlds.

I'll read anything. If it has pages with numbers, I'll read it (which is why I didn't do my grade ten academic math homework. I don't know whether to thank my best friend for whiting the page numbers in my math book out or be content with the fact that she had to repeat the class with me.). Sherrilyn Kenyon, Charlaine Harris, Laurell K. Hamilton, Christopher Moore, Janet Evanovich, Elizabeth Haydon, J. D. Robb (Nora Robers), Tami Hoag, Elizabeth Peters, Barb & J. C. Hendee, Maggie Shayne, Christine Warren, Christine Feehan, Mercedes Lackey, Tanya Huff, and Shannon Drake. I've never read a bad book, if there's no blood shed or death within the first two hundred pages I do tend to get a little bored, but that's workable.

However, I can honestly say I never finished reading Wicked by Gregory Maguire. My one friend raved about how good it was. She went to see the play and bought several of his other books and I'm stuck at page one hundred thirty-seven. It was truly a dismal day when I had to admit I'd purchased a book I had no interest in reading.

Cheers!
