• Not too bad …

    So I’ve been reading through my first draft of Quiver, my young-adult fantasy. And I am pleasantly surprised that it doesn’t suck out loud. I think I’ve actually got some good stuff in there, which always surprises me.

    We’ll see what my critique group says when they get done reading it — and what my agent thinks of it. Anyway, now it’s time for me to sit down and start on the second draft.

    That’s my weekend plan, along with possibly seeing a movie with Wheezley. Has anyone seen Monsters vs. Aliens? Is that one any good?

    If only it was May 1, Wolverine would be out, and we could go see that. I know it was leaked online earlier this week, but I haven’t heard if it was good/bad. Anyone know? Share in the comments. :ww:

    Fool me never …

    So today is April Fools’ Day. I have to say that I’ve never gotten the point of this so-called holiday. (Really, it’s not a holiday if I have to go to work, now is it?)

    But then again, I’m not much for practical jokes anyway. For the most part, I think they are pointless and not funny. Yeah, I’m a grump when it comes to jokes. 👿

    But if you do like that sort of thing, head on over to Dear Author and Smart Bitches for some pretty funny book stuff.

    Other random links of the day:

    Jim C. Hines has a very thoughtful post up about rape.

    HelenKay Dimon and some other authors are holding a contest with some pretty awesome prizes.

    I spotted this over at The Good, the Bad, and the Unread about author Jo Goodman penning a western and decided to share. Just because I love me some westerns.

    And Smooth-Talking Stranger by Lisa Kleypas is finally out. Huzzah! I’ve been looking forward to this book for a while now.

    Anyway, that’s all for today folks. Have a great day! :ww:
