blamebrampton: 15th century woodcut of a hound (Default)

My priorities: slightly flawed

Good news: I have FABULOUS hair, with really, really red stripes poking out from the dark black on three levels. And I discovered that Martin Millar has written a sequel to Lonely Werewolf Girl, called Curse of the Wolf Girl, which is just as idiosyncratically brilliant as everything else he has ever written. And because I have the Surprise!Kindle, I could order it and read it immediately, which I did!

Bad news: Which means I did not finish Fathers this weekend, missing the June 5 festivities.

Good news: But I do have 10K off with the betas and 1.6 of the final 3 scenes written! It will be done! I will be able to move on!

Bad news: So much to do once I finish it, aiya!

Good news: Seriously, the hair is amazing and worth four hours effort ;-) It has cheered me up enormously after three and a half weeks having to wear the same boots thanks to the stupid new orthotics (NB, size 41 boots, not size 37, to fit the orthotics in. I feel as though I am wearing clown shoes!) Strangely, I wore the same boots for months or even years in my teens and twenties without minding. Those days are gone ...

Yay for FABULOUS HAIR :) I had no idea you'd read Lonely Werewolf Girl, let alone that you didn't know there was a sequel. Both are available here in paperback - 'cos I borrowed them from Amy last year..... I found the series strangely addictive. But Kindles are excellent and I wouldn't be without mine now when travelling.

I am a massive Martin Millar fan and have all but one of his old books, but yes, completely missed the sequel! Not in any of the local bookshops, I will need to try in at Kino next time I am there.

And yes, I have some issues with my Kindle, but the lightness for travelling has reconciled me to it by a large factor!
