Book Shopping & New Fics
Went out shopping yesterday and picked up a few romance novels along with three writing books:

The 2007 edition of the Guide To Literary Agents

Bird by Bird by Anne Lamott a book on writing and the writers life

What Would Your Character Do by Eric and Ann Maisel which just looks like the coolest thing ever. It's a book on personality quizzes that you use to develop your characters!

I'm applying for a receptionist job with Coach House Books here in Toronto. I'd love any job at all in the publishing industry to watch where the magic happens.

I'll be putting up another chapter of my novel in my portfolio and I'm thinking of adding a piece of erotica I wrote a very long time ago.

I also picked up the latest issues of Vanity Fair and Vogue. I use fashion magazines for characters for my novels and their clothes etc, it helps to have visual aids to make the descriptions more vivid. My favorite for this is InStyle though because they have such a wide variety of things, clothes, acessories and home decor. I kept telling myself I need to subscribe but I always end up forgetting and just picking it up at the store.

I'll be working on the next chapter of Four Winds today.

I have a truckload of Battlestar Galactica fanfiction I'd also like to put up here (a lot of it is erotica) if anyone is interested. I notice there isn't a lot of BSG up here so I thought I'd add my pieces.

I'm also thinking of putting all my unfinished stuff up here too to hopefully get more of a kick in the ass to finish it all cause really, procrastination is my middle name, though looking at how prolific I've been over the years, you wouldn't know it! (laughs)
