Paul got me a present, which is as follows:
Ray Bradbury's Zen and the Art of Writing
Crawford Kilian's Writing Science Fiction and Fantasy
and
Stephen L. Gillett's World-Building (and Alien-Building, although that hasn't arrived yet).
So I have lots of goodies to work with for my novel. :-)
The funny is this: I think my novel (which has recently switched from "Ensemble Cast" to "Han and Chewie Style Buddy Cast" may actually be an angsty romance novel set in space. Um... :-)
That said, I can do angsty romance in my sleep, so this is not actually a bad thing. :-)
I continue to be sick, however the fever is gone (YAY!! :-) - thank you, copious amounts of protein, sleep and epsom-salts-in-the-bath! :-D - and I am mostly just dealing with a sore back and stuffed up sinuses now.
I took an ibuprofen to help with the swollen-headache feeling. It seems to be working. :-)
Having my head not feel like it's puffy and bleary and awful is a wonderful thing. :-D
Have decided to get my sister's boyfriend (who recently got them a puppy for their anniversary, which is today) a DJ Shadow CD for xmas. I *think* he'll like it, but I don't actually know.
Here's hoping. :-)
My mom dropped off our two re-covered chairs last night (and took the other two with her). They are beautiful! :-D They have black-on-black stripes for the upholstery! :-D
I am *very* happy with them. They're so 'us'. :-D
Randomly: I dreamed that Paul and I got married again, in a rather informal second ceremony with, possibly, no officiant, but my Dad was there. :-) (Apparently he wanted a chance to walk me down the aisle or something).
I was late (quel surprise...).
My mom was hollering at me to hurry up.
The location was six blocks away (in, apparently, the basement of the Lord Elgin hotel...) and I was like "relax, it's no big deal, I'll be there in a minute. Calm down.".
It was a fun dream. :-)
Anyway. Must go and write 800+ words in order to be on track for today. :-D
[EDIT: Word Count is now at: 11,671 - and I am thereforejust barely over my word-count requirement for the day. Go me! :-)]
