I bought a new book while on vacation. There was a used book store. There was a collection of D.H.Lawrence stories.
Another book to surmount before I can buy me a nooook,
*sigh*
Rachael, stop house-wife-ing and start typing.

So which one is he?
Or is he even a "god"?
That's really all I've got so far - I forget what page I'm on, but I'm just at the part where they're having that meeting in the darkness and the Goddess with the heads around her waist is telling Wednesday no.
I will say, I was kind of hoping that Shadow's wife would not have been in the accident after having been cheating on him. It was obvious that was going to be the case, but it was really a disappointment.
This is a good choice to follow-up Gunslinger with, because phrases like "We are well met" and the same sort of wandering, frail perception of reality is quite cohesive. What I can't stand are all these name-brand cameos - why does he have to pick up a Nokia phone, why can't he just pick up a phone?
That stuff really pulls me out of it - you can tie it to reality saying something like "coke" or you can tie it to an exact time by saying "IBM."
See, that - dated.
AmIRight?!

NPR's 3-Minute Fiction
Three-Minute Fiction: Round 7
I've been checking out these topics, and have actually used all but one as prompts for little exercises to start myself writing, however long after the contests were over. This one seems to be a topic I can summit, so I'll certainly try to get an entry in to the contest.
I'm trying to work on giving more effort to things that have always loved, and learned to love; reading has been going well - even if this blog hasn't (har-har), cooking and dancing are great, and writing is closing in on those idle minutes at work where I can get a few scribbles in.
If anything, the authors' challenges are great exercises; I love a topic that makes me write differently than I would if I plopped in front of the computer.
