random_urges fic-o-doom has a finis at the end of it. I just need a title and a last-minute edit, and to format it into chapters (because, dude...7000 words). Go, me!
Da Boy requested "The Incredibles" tonight, and I was only too happy to oblige. OMG I LOVE THIS MOVIE.
Inwritercon news, I went to the bank and got some usable money, so that's taken care of. And another fic came in for the Writer's Salon...so I have to go to Wally World and pick up another folder for it. I still haven't critted the other four. *wibbles* I also need to pack, but that shouldn't really take long, because I'm a very light packer.
And why did no one tell me that Alan Dean Foster had written a trilogy of books wherein a guy gets kidnaped by aliens so they can sell him as a pet because he's a "cute" alien himself? And there's a talking dog! DUDES!
Also, I just finished![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
jimbutcher's first "Codex Alera" book, and it was made of awesome. OMG I love that man. As a writer, of course.
WriterCon in two days. *flails*
ETA: LICORICE ALTOIDS. *flails some more* Someone check my pulse; I think I just died and went to Heaven...

Date: 2006-07-19 04:39 pm (UTC)I've barely gotten into this Alan Dean Foster book, and you know what really made me pick it up? Other than the obvious talking dog, which I'm a sucker for?
The fact that the blurb on the bookjacket says "This former college football star has plenty of American ingenuity and no intention of admitting defeat, now or ever." [emphasis mine]
You just don't see descriptions like that any more, because it seems like a blurb can't mention stuff like "American ingenuity" for fear of the publisher being seen as jingoistic or some such silly damb thing. In case you're curious and want to check it out, the book is called "Lost and Found" and the trilogy is complete. I've barely started it, but I like the protagonist already.
