stop. start. stutter.

...wow, has it really been that long since I made an entry? That can't be right ...

Anyway, I'm a little behind in a lot of things, including updating on the progress of "Reading for Writers" -- yeah, I suck, I suck. You can, however, read my book reviews, which I've tried to keep as detailed as possible as I enter books in.

January was a slow reading month for me for a lot of reasons which I won't get into here, but the grand total was 23 books, which I have logged in faithfully and have just sent out via email to everyone who's pledged. It's not too late for you to join in for February! News of the negotiations is promising, but promising doesn't mean "back to work", so the WGA still needs our support.

Me, in the meantime, I'm juggling two short stories, a novel (we are still in That Part of the Novel, having identified a major structural flaw in the fucker that will require a total redrafting -- you'd think I'd learn, this being the same major structural flaw I've run into on several other novels by now, dammit) and a spine that refuses to stay where I put it, this causing problems in sitting up for long periods of time. Like, say, at my laptop. Grr.
