New exercise program!
My job has changed, and I'm expecting it to be a lot less physical than it's been in the past, so that means it's time to start working out outside of work again. I have a stationary bike, weights, and a weight bench at home, but I'm feeling inspired by my friend...
Zzzzzzzzzz…
So, the story loosely based on a nightmare proceeds slowly, because, well, dream. Not very logically consistent. That, and I feel very lazy. My job just got a lot busier. No, my laptop isn't back from the shop. They did "final testing" on it this morning at 10am, and...
Ooh, ahh.
I have to say that based on this really quick test, Zempt is much nicer than Slug. I may have to switch.
New Story in Progress
This weekend I've been working on my latest story, which is based on a nightmare I was having on August 29, 2003, right before my mother-in-law woke me up to drive her to the doctor for her broken arm. Yes, I know the date, because we went to Dragoncon right after the...
Damn!
Color me impressed. Lone Star Stories just rejected my story in 2 hours. A very flattering rejection, mind you. Must... resubmit... before... bed...
Maybe I’m a sicko…
Is it wrong of me to be amused by a harsh rejection letter? I suppose I wouldn't be submitting humor stories if I couldn't take a joke, but it just seems odd to think this is funny. I mean, aren't I supposed to be crushed? I can't help it. It's just funny. *snort*
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.
