Wiscon!
I'm thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiis close to talking myself into going. Last time was much fun, and I was sad to not go since. And any excuse to see Jen is of the good. What may push me over the edge is the Broad Universe rapid-fire reading and the writer's...
Outlining.
I'm outlining like the guy with the chalk at a kool-aid party. I'm anxious about the NaNoWriMo thing and want to be prepared. I mean, really, really, hard-core serious prepared. Right now I'm doing the infamous snowflake that They [TM] tout on the NaNoWriMo forums. It...

Immortal Gifts invites readers to re-evaluate the meanings of things such as life, death, freedom, hate and love from the first page. Katherine Villyard manages to capture some of the most poignant questions we ask ourselves as we go through our individual lives. Is it worth being able to live forever if, in the end, we’ll lose the ones we love to mortality? Is Death really the ultimate enemy to life, or is death just life’s misunderstood old friend? To stop hate, do we need to restrict our freedoms? This book makes readers ask and answer tough questions not only about the characters and plotline, but about their own beliefs, understandings, and dreams.
