I’m back from five-day trip, visiting my sister in sunny California. I scheduled two posts to go live while I was gone (ah, I love being able to post to my blog while I’m asleep or driving or shopping) so you might not have noticed that I was even gone. Here’s a quick rundown on my trip:
Hours spent on the plane: approximately 14 (yikes!)
Books read in that time: 3 (The Mermaid’s Madness by Jim C. Hines, The Well of Ascension by Brandon Sanderson, Soulless by Gail Carriger). Also, first chapter of Word Painting by a writer whose name escapes me.
Most unexpected title in an airport gift shop: Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter (I just can’t wrap my head around that premise. I keep getting a Does Not Compute error message).
Number of visits to the same Pakistani restaurant: 3. Twice for dinner (seekh kebabs and this *fantastic* chicken mali dish) and once for a brunch of halwa poori (mmmmm!)
Number of stores visited: Too many to count!
Newly-discovered TV show to obsess over: The remake of V: The Final Conflict. Alas, it’s only in its first season.
Returned home to: Grey skies, four smiling faces and 158 items in my RSS Feed!
Hope you all have had a lovely weekend/beginning of the week!
I did notice a lag in response time, but wasn’t really sure if you were just taking a break between days. So lovely technology when it works write!
I believe I read Word Painting once. I even almost liked it. And I think I’m getting the same Does Not Compute Error. I’d almost buy it just to see if it’s for real. :boggles at the idea:
Well, either way, good to have you back! Hope to see you soon (virtually) and I promise to get out the answers to your questions soon. I commented back a wee bit on Secret Project, but I’ve got a post partway done on that and a post partway done on the magic system and I’ve got all these “partway dones.” Ugh. Someday, I’ll whip me back into shape and get posting at the crazy pace I did before (or at least a reasonable one).
You’re such an inspiration.
I hear you! My blogging is cyclical, too. Some weeks I post like crazy, other weeks it’s hard to remember that I even have a blog. I aim for three-ish posts per week on average.
