Wheeeeee

So this week I dove head first into the Mark of Athena and did not re-emerge until I finished.  (The usual with a new book).

Must say: Wow!  Wow, wow, wow!!  It was fantastic!  Plenty suspenseful and even a bit scary!  (And by a bit, I mean terrifying.  One word: spiders).

I will also be cursing that horrible cliffhanger for the next year.  I am also worried how my nerves will be at the end of two more books to this series.  If I'm a raving lunatic you'll know.

But definitely highly recommend.  BUT if you haven't yet been introduced to this wonderful world, you must start at the beginning.  Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief beginning, and then read that series, then you can start on the Heroes of Olympus series.  Go forth and conquer.

In other news I stumbled upon an oh duh moment this week.

Usually while I work, I daydream about some pretty epic stuff.  Dragons, sword fights, etc.  And then it suddenly hit me:  why don't I write these down???

I've been trying to find ways to do a little bit of writing every day.  My writing muscles have been extremely shot lately, but I couldn't figure out how to work them out.

So I pulled out my phone and started writing while I was filling water buckets.  I ACTUALLY WROTEDED!! :D  And even more excitedly for the first time in a loooooooong time, the scene actually ran away with me and surprised even me.

Oh boy it felt good!

Once I transfer it onto my compy and do some edits, I will post it here... Potentially.  Or keep it secret until it explodes into a full length story of some kind.  (No clue, just writing it cause it's there).

But I will tell you that it involves dragons and sci fi.

And a dance club.
