No writing today

It’s a *blech* day today…even thinking about my wips evokes a heavy, sinking feeling of utter crappiness, so I think I’m going to hide.

I’m off to buy Frodo some Doctor Who figures this afternoon. That might make me feel better… πŸ˜‰

Happy Bastille Day

Fluttery French Tricolour

I’m not French in any way, shape or form but this is one date that always sticks in my mind. I did A level History…and w-a-y too much on the French Revolution. That has to be my excuse.

Fuedalism was abolished a few weeks after the storming of the Bastille but I seem to remember it as being a symbolic act of defiance. There were only 3 or 4 prisoners within its walls…and possibly a goat. *grin*

I’ve been writing…honest

Well, I’ve been trying to.Β  My vampires won’t play nice.Β  I just have the last sign to write before I get a couple of people to look over it, go *argh*, I rewrite it a bit and then I commit its soul to the ether… πŸ˜€

And I’ve been hit by a contemporary romance idea, the first one that’s had legs in ages. My contemporaries are much harder to get right than the sf/fantasy books.Β  Books with high body counts are much easier to write…though this contemporary may have a few littered through it, hehe.Β  Something to appease the ghoul in me.

Oooh and soon I’ll be able to reveal my new cover for WEAVING WORDS.Β  It’s by Anne Caine, so naturally it’s gorgeous πŸ˜€

Right, back to my vamps, which now has the title, REIVER, much to my relief.Β  I didn’t think a title would ever come for this one, lol

Excerpt

It’s 18+ so I’m putting it in after the jump. You have been warned…;-)
