Freaking Booth and Bones. Why did no one tell me about this show earlier? I have developed a bonafied obsession with everything about. The cases, the tension, the ridiculous socks and belt buckles. I love that Bones is so freakishly smart, but a complete idiot when it comes to social cues, and I love Booth for... pretty much everything.

This show is amazing. Amazing, amazing, amazing.

In even more book related news, C1 is almost done. I have barely done anything in the last week, what with my adventure to Michigan, mom's surgery, and all the time needed to make up for the loss of sleep, but I'm hoping to churn out some decent stuff tomorrow and Saturday. I have about... nine chapters left, but once I make it over this little hill, its all resolution/smooth sailing.

I've been reading a lot of author blogs lately, too, and heeding their advice on the whole editing/revision process. The plan was to rearrange the latter half of C1 once I was finished, but considering the rewrite in December is going to require a complete change in narrator and tense, I think it's best if I sit back for a month, and come back to it fresh.

Plus, then I have ample time to work on Inbetween for NaNoWriMo. It's all outlined and ready to go. It'll be messy as all get out this first time through, but it's a real gem. Can't wait!

AND, I came up with another idea last week. I have great vibes about that story; I feel like it could be my best one yet.

That's all I have by way of updates. Things are relatively smooth. So, with that, I'm going to get back to watching Modern Family via Hulu, and then, Community!
