I was born... wait...wrong place...
Take two:
Sooo...my lovely friend the Benevolent Goddess (who I SOOOOOO adore) has been hammering at me to start blogging again...a dangerous thing to do since the voices in my head are rather...um...*looking for the right word there* obnoxious is a good word. This blog is random thoughts and if I mention you, don't be frightened, I'm not a stalker - I just play one online.
The wonderful Nathan Fillion has a show coming up on ABC...looks good and I may have to set up the portable DVR thingie I got Jen (she who is loved beyond measure) for Christmas two years ago in a flash of brilliance of the gift "your girlfriend will LOVE"...and which is still in its original packaging.
I got (received? whatever) Seasons 2 & 3 of How I Met Your Mother on dvd (already own Season 1) and will be watching those soon.
Eliza Dushku ... Dollhouse... Yeah...another DVR candidate...cuz... Eliza Dushka...seriously.
I think that does it for television thoughts...maybe.
Amber Benson has a book coming out that looks good...Death's Daughter comes out on Feb 24...where'd I leave that link... Mysterious Galaxy ... or, yanno, Amazon...but from what I've read, Amber will be doing a booksigning at the Mysterious Galaxy and apparently if you order the book before March 7 (the date of the signing) you'll receive an autographed copy.
I mention this for more than one reason...any of you that actually know me know of my love for the talented Ms. Benson...but also...She stole my character name and I wanted to set the record straight before my book gets published (please, do not stop the delusion train while it's in motion you could hurt the blogger)...
The protagonist of "Death's Daughter" is Calliope or Callie... MY protagonist is Calleigh. I didn't steal the name from Death's Daughter.
I stole it from CSI: Miami...mmmm Emily Proctor is not only yummy...but her character is sweet, self-assured and tough without being abrasive. Love me some Calleigh Duquesne (I may have butchered that spelling as my fingers aren't keeping up with my brain at the moment...stupid Thrift Store fingers.).
Yes...I have two series ... no...three (OI...like there aren't ENOUGH people in my head?)
1) Mistress Inc - yes, I'm still working on this and have put Sophie's Story on the back burner because I want to work on the main characters to enter a contest so...you can read the first two stories over at TheMasque.net and look for Rafe's Story soon (I hope). Please be advised that this series will not be for the faint of heart...it is heavy in BDSM and is STRICTLY NC-17. (unlike Willow's Promise...but more on that in a minute)
B) The Adventure Series - yes, tentatively titled and only vaguely outlined on what I'm doing with it.
Red) The Realm - My personal Lord of the Rings...it hurts my head if I think about it too much.
B & Red feature Calleigh. (not to be confused with Callie).
There...that's cleared up.
Finally...I think...
Willow's Promise ... (completely Pg-13, if that) the novel I wrote over a period of two years and posted for roughly 8 months has gotten really really nice reviews and I've had people say really nice things about it. There has only been one detractor and I'm not sure s/he was reading the same story I wrote and that everyone else was reading.
But I digress...someone ...and I honestly don't know who...nominated it for a Willowy Goodness Award (two, actually) sooooo ...please...read the story and if you think it's good, vote for it from February 1-February 28 HERE: Willowy Goodness Awards
I am humbled and beyond flattered but I would be remiss if I didn't shout out to Benevolent Goddess...she of the red pen and the "but why" question. It is mainly because of her tireless (and often brutal) criticisms that WP is as good as it is...and it is good - even if I do say so myself...
Only...I didn't...someone else nominated it so someone else obviously said it was that good. Whoa...mind won't really bend around that.
Think that'll do it for now...catch you when I've got more rambles to ramble
