I've got to say, there is something particularly satisfying about writing a series. My epic fantasy is begging for its trilogy sisters. I'm thinking the YA UF will be wanting some siblings as well.

Fantasy does seem to beg for the longer format, doesn't it? :tongue I haven't written a series in a loooong time, and it was an epic fantasy.

I was actually roughly following the Harry Potter structure - the first book focuses on the protagonist's attempts to stop the series villain coming back from the dead. :tongue

A world of pure imagination...
No. We're going to sprint! :tongue

ETA I hate using the computer in my room for multiple reasons. One of the biggest: The internet always decides to be weird when I'm in here. :(

Finally finished exams and allowed myself to buy Demon's Surrender, best book I have ever read, it is beyond perfect, I cried and I laughed and am so happy because it's the first time a book I've waited ages for hasn't let me down in the least.

Argh I want to read Demon's Surrender! I haven't even managed to get my hands on Covenant yet and I don't know when I'm going to be able to go to the bookstore.

Ouch, I have chronic tailbone problems. It is NOT pleasant, but as I do not sit if I can avoid it anyway - it does not affect me much. I stand even to type on my laptop, I have it on a special table at my elbow height. :D

I recommend a kiddie inner tube for your sitting experience, or a dyna-disk, used for strengthening ankles(air inflated, butt friendly, tailbone friendly). Both are very very helpful. I would not go the whoopee-cushion route. :D

Hey, you guys! For all you 11th Doctor Era fans, Steven Moffat RTed this, and it is amazing. SPOILERS, though.

That's hilarious. I love the line about Rory punching the Eleventh Doctor so hard that the First Doctor felt it. :tongue

Good Morning.

I see Rory has attained Memetic Badass status.

What else is new?
