NaNoWriMo:
24,624 words so far
Believe me, it's getting a total re-write when I finish it and holiday gift making. This is totally gonna be an outline. Parts are good enough, parts I think go off track because I'm rushing.
Reading:
Finished Grave Secret (Harper Connelly Mysteries, Book 4). So I had pre-ordered it because it was a Harper Connelly book. Loved the first three. Didn't read the teasers, etc. Starts out with the same formula as the other books -- and then, it becomes clear: everything needed to complete the series is in this book! What? Yup. Final book. Damn. Though she does say on her message boards she'll never say never, it's done at least for now. Shame. There's a character who wasn't a main main character but a semi regular character anyway, who I felt could have been explored a lot more. Oh well.
My current to read pile is big, so I am still on a reading spree while working on NaNoWriMo and then of course I need to work on Christmas presents at some point but been soooo dizzy lately, haven't started them yet. Here's how backed up I have gotten: Graceling (starting it now), Fire (Graceling)
(next), Anansi Boys
, Tempest Rising (Jane True)
, Soulless (The Parasol Protectorate)
, Beautiful Creatures
, Nightlife (Cal Leandros, Book 1)
, Moonshine (Cal Leandros, Book 2)
, Madhouse (Cal Leandros, Book 3)
, Deathwish (Cal Leandros, Book 4)
. Needless to say, even though I can rip though books that are good in a few days usually, I can also slack. So with this stack on my desk waiting for me, I've not yet broken into the remaining $75 gift card. I know how to show a LITTLE restraint ;)
I do think I may have to get my sister the Sookie Stackhouse 8-copy Boxed Set (Sookie Stackhouse/True Blood) for Christmas though. The silly girl is trying to get the books from the library. She is still waiting for book #1. She waited though 40 some people then had to work when it was her turn to pick it up, they wouldn't hold it til she could get there, she's back to waiting through 30 or 40 people again. She'll be taking 20 years to read the series at this rate.
Health
Same old, same old. Been uber dizzy. I can't tell if it's MS, or shots. It happens on non shot days so I think it's just MS flaring up as it's been for about a month now. And since it is any day, not just shot days... well. Sucks to be me. It's listed as a "Common" MS symptom. It's nice to be common for once. Many of my other symptoms like tremor, headaches, etc -- they're all listed under uncommon on the NMSS site.
