Wee-hoo-hoo!

LARP last night was really awesome! I actually got into a fight, and won! More or less. I've been gloating about it for the whole day, so I thought I might as well do it here too. But I understand that several of the people who read this don't belong to the LARP/ don't care/ have already heard it six times. So I'm putting it behind a cut.
( Because I love you very much. )

New Story!

I am the WebMaster! I've mastered the web!

Well, at least enough to format out another 15 page story and put it up on my website. It's called Prelude in C Minor, and I pounded it out in ten hours one sleepless night. It's still a first draft and needs significant revision, but I think it shows promise.

If you like, you can read it here and comment on it to my LiveJournal. I can take a few jabs, as long as they aren't about semicolons.

Hrmph!!!

I picked up the newest JD Robb book, Reunion in Death, this morning. I can't decide if I love it or hate it. It's just so difficult. Robb is awesome for 300 frickin' pages, just nails everything on the head, sucks you in and keeps you reading. Then, just before the end, she fucks it all up with a demigod male character who never makes a wrong move.

And you know why? Because JD Robb is a pen name for Nora Roberts. And Nora Roberts is a romance novelist. And what have we learned about romance novels, class? Yes, that's correct. The woman is always wrong. Even when she's right.

So there you have it, another excellent book screwed up by the romance mentality. I could kick something really hard.
