 What I've Been Writing:

You're gonna hate me, but...I changed the title for Day Robber...again. Now, I'm calling it Impostor or the Prince. It just fits better.  And it really hit this week, too. I'm satisfied with the amount of writing I got done, and I'm excited for what's coming next. Once I made it through a bottleneck of scenes I knew I needed but wasn't all that enthused to write, it's been snap, snap, snap (that's the sound effect for me frantically typing away on my keyboard, by the way--no idea why I used the word 'snap;' just go with it, please). The manuscript is unlike any story I've ever crafted before, so I hope you all are down to give it a try.  We're at 111,000 words written, and I've completed the first 32 chapters.


What I've Been Reading:

So I'm not saying I'll never finish the book I was reading last week, but... I maybe, kind of, sort of picked up another one and am plowing my way through Silver Elite instead. I'm so sorry, Daughter of Redwinter, but OMG, SILVER ELITE.  I'm really enjoying it. I guess it's just more my speed. Everyone's got their own favorite flavor of genres, am I right?


What I've Been Buying:

My August book subscriptions for Book of the Month Club and Allurial came in this week, which was awesome. Then I got a couple more: some at Walmart, some from a used book store, some from Amazon, and I ended up with seven total new books! Eek. I have no idea which one I want to read first, though. I saw this video of someone putting all their TBR titles in a jar and pulling one at random to choose their next read.  I am seriously considering that idea.
