Well, I just got the email that I should be getting my bookplates and key chains this week -- would be awesome if I could get them today, but I don't think the mail works quite that fast. : ) Keep your eyes peeled (ick, what a disgusting saying) for contests to win some of this stuff! Bookmarks and postcards are, of course, yours for the asking. : )
We saw Spiderman 2 on Friday, and I really liked it. Kirsten Dunst's character did a little more than scream -- she did actually attempt to defend herself once, which was a pleasing change! But I just love Peter Parker, the tortured hero! It's worth the money to see it in the theater if you like that kind of thing.
And finally, I'm leaving tomorrow for my writer's conference. I'm nervous and excited. I find myself worried about stuff like eating alone, when really I should be worried about making contacts with editors/agents/lawyers/writers and learning new things. I still have a mystery series (the first two books anyway) that I'd love to see in print somewhere -- that's something I'd like to work on.
And of course, now that I'm leaving to go somewhere, something that makes it notoriously hard to write, I'm stuck on my current project. I have a scene that's just being...sticky. I can't get past it. That usually means I've got something wrong. Sometimes, I just need to write what I think happens in a sentence or two and move on, but somehow I can't seem to quite do that yet. So, I'll keep mulling it over for now. This is just part of the process, I know that now. But every time it happens, it's scary and frustrating!!! Still, I love writing : ) Isn't that crazy?
I'll try to post tomorrow before the conference, but if not, I'll give a post-conference update when I get back.
Talk to you soon!
