I think tomorrow for Teaser Tuesday, I'll post an old scene from LS.

Sage - are your books e-books or just download for an ARC? And I'm excited for your teaser :)

I've been pretty relieved to graduate, to be honest. I have 2 huge assignments :scared: due before I can graduate, and my mind is really on them. So much so that I forgot my birthday is next Tuesday.
Don't even know when I'll have time to celebrate as I have classes all day and my girlfriends refuse to go out clubbing ("we have class next day" is their excuse .. or "we'll be too tired') :partyguy: I almost want to go by myself..

It's an e-book. So it'll be available for Kindle, Nook, and the iPad. And as a PDF.

Aw, that sucks that your birthday's being overshadowed by the end of the school year. I was lucky that mine was the day after graduation.

I'm so glad to hear it will be a PDF. I don't own an e-reader and I've been interested to read about a love suck - whatever that might be.

Yeah, last year - my birthday was wicked 'cause I was studying abroad and - for the first time ever - it was not on a school week/weekend; we were having "study break". I went to New Zealand and sky dived :snoopy:

I say go for it! Who says you have to be surrounded by people to have a celebration? (You can always party with them later!).

I don't own an e-reader either. My hubby has a Kindle, but he's been buying paper books lately to support our local bookstores.

Haha, me either. The publisher gives you a list of things you 'should' do ;).

I'm starting on what I consider the easy parts of the list.

Well, I will find out how I do pretty soon, and that makes me a tiny bit nervous ;)

I'm sitting on two finished manuscripts, half of another finished one, and an outline for another one (all in the last three weeks) but still struggling with editing. I want to enter the first one in a few (legit) contests, but it's far from polished.

I would like a magic box that I place it in and when I press the big red button--POOF! Plot holes gone! Characters more evolved! Setting natural!

Please deliver to Lera, in Philadelphia. Kthxbai.

I hear you Aslera!

I wish I had a machine that transcribed my dreams. Those would be some amazing stories! And weird. very very weird. Just the other night I was leading a Clydesdale through a former house and thought he peed on the walls. The dream owners had just splatter painted.

On second thought, maybe that machine wouldn't be such a great idea. I'll just go with yours.

My blog lives in a weird time zone where there's only 9 hours to LS's release. Uh, blog, it's 2 p.m.

In other news, I had a tiny little goal on Goodreads before LS's release, and I am 1 add away from meeting that goal. I think I would be less anxious if I hadn't gotten so close (I was like 20 away a week ago)

3 new adds since then, so I've passed that goal. It was unthinkable 2 weeks ago.
