The dust is so thick in here it'll take me a week to clean it all out.
I haven't posted in over a month!
How did that happen?
No idea. Well, yeah, I do have one excuse. I've been writing obsessively and have such a good time doing it. I'm completely in love with the characters I'm working with and their antics that I seem to spend almost every free minute I have with them.
My current cast of characters include a demon, a cop, a Knight, and a bumbling (sort of) college professor.
If anyone would like to read them, let me know at cinjinn at hotmail dot com. I'm looking for feedback.
So, other than that...
I found a new series that I devoured - the Magic series by Ilona Andrews. Excellent books with an interesting take on vampires, shapeshifters, and the lot.
I was slightly disappointed with the last book in Kelly Armstrong's Darkest Powers series. I'll hopefully get a review up soon.
And I realized something today. I was reading a book. The first book in the series by PC Cast (House of Night?)... and I stopped. I didn't mean to stop but I did and then I forgot all about the book until yesterday when I was at the bookstore. I've never had that happen before. I've given up on books but it was a conscious decision. This just happened. Should I pick it back up?
I'm also reading the first Jack Reacher story by Lee Child and I'm enjoying it a great deal. Or I was. There are, however, holes in the plots big enough to drive a semi through and they're starting to bother me just a tad. Not to the point where I want to put it down, however.
Anyway, that's a snapshot of my month.
Now, time to get the place cleaned and spiffed up...

Good to see a post from you! I'm finally mostly back in the blogging groove and I've missed seeing your posts.
Since I'm not a writer I've always found it so fascinating that writers fall in love with and are surprised by their characters. :) I don't really understand how that works but it's a very cool concept!
Pick up the book if you were enjoying it! Sometimes timing just isn't right the first time around.
Have a great day CJ!
Welcome back!
Good luck catching up... I went away for a few weeks and was astounded at the amount that had amassed while I was away. It prompted me to reorganize my google reader and to rethink how I blogged.
As for the book you put down, why did you put it down?
As Trish said, if you were enjoying it, why not read it? If not and if the book was at fault, then why bother?
Trish -
Hopefully I'll be around a bit more.
Alesa -
Thanks for stopping by. I was keeping up with my reading, just not doing any posting. Hopefully I'll fix that.
As for the book, here's the problem. I don't know why I put it down. In fact, I'm not even sure where it is. That's what's so strange about it. I guess I better find it and try to figure it out.

Well that's all the better then! I'm glad you don't have to go through one month's posts! : j
The mysteriously disappearing book... Would make a good seed for a story. The story of a book entitled "Lost endings" that no one can ever finish... because it vanishes two chapters in, and gets picked up by someone else.
Well, whatever happens, I'll be looking forward reading your future posts.
