We now pause for a word from our academic sponsor

Spending the weekend struggling with a scene in the WiP. I can pinpoint exactly what the problem is--I know too much, and am creating an infodump rather than a narrative. But so far each time I fix it, I merely find another place to put in a different infodump.

Reading: Finished CAST IN SECRET by Michelle Sagara yesterday. The third, and so far best book in the series. Though the tissue thin paper was a tad disconcerting--I was constantly afraid that I'd tear a page as I turned it.

Watching: Was lucky enough to stumble across the premiere of Torchwood on BBC America, and finally got to see what folks have been talking about.

I thought SECRET was the best so far, too! Yay! :)

I'm currently reading (well, LJ at this red-hot second, but) this book called THE SEA CHANGE by some lady called Patricia Bray. It starts off with a, uh, bang. O.O Must get my work done so I can go find out what happens. O.O

Just finished! *hops around* When's the next one out?! :)

I think I liked this one better than FIRST BETRAYAL, in fact, and you're building toward a hell of a crescendo. *rattles around impatiently*!

Phew, glad to hear that you liked it! I'm still too close to the project to make any rational judgments about it.

Next one is out late spring next year, I believe. Manuscript was turned in last month. And readers are in for a hell of a ride :-)
