Viva Friday.

This has been an excellent writing week, though about half of my words have been aimed in directions other than novelward. One thing I’ve discovered about myself this year is that doing just one thing eventually makes me crazy, and that I’m more productive in a world with a little bit of variety. Win But Fail will be a good outlet, I have a review to send some edits out on tonight, and I’ve got some short story stuff coming up in the next couple of months.

The strange and wonderful thing about this, of course, is that just a little bit of time away from the book seems to stimulate it. Like I’m teasing it a bit and getting it excited before I throw the tennis ball down the hallway and let it go crazy.

A dear friend of mine is helping run an auction on LiveJournal to help an abuse survivor named Maria complete her degree. You can read about Maria here, or see the auction items here.

SyFy brings us the the Greatest Story Ever told. Brace yourselves, people, for SHARKTOPUS. I kid you not, when I find out an airdate for this thing I am going to clear my calendar. SHARKTOPUS!

Relatedly, I really, really want one of these. I have no idea when or where I would wear it, but believe me, I would find an excuse.

I know it’s probably wrong for me to love this as much as I do, but behold: MOJOCERATOPS.

I am really tempted to throw my hat into the ring for this. Talk about a singularly amazing experience.

You know what’s probably not a good idea? Spending Federal funds on evangelical Christian projects in Northern Iraq. As one of my friends so succintly put it, “Wow. Way to foment holy war.”
