huh. old news, maybe

looking at the ToC for the third in the series, it looks like Nightshade learned from what went down with the first two in the Eclipse books, and really went for it in regards to balancing shit back out. I'm glad. 11 women out of 16 authors. That doesn't happen.

is blah. I have cramps and hate the world! yay! But I get to vote! Which means taking my kids with me to a christian church. that always goes well. Very stressed out about the election if I think about it. Basically just hoping the medical marijuana referendum gets the stoners to the polls and that while they are there they vote smart on the rest of the ballot. Some of the people running would be straight up bad for us.

I'm saying this here so I might feel obligated to follow through. I am not reading any goddamn fic until I get at least half an hour of cleaning done AND write a couple hundred words. 500 would be nice, but I'm not going to push myself. 200 words and a half hour of research is as good as 500 words. I'd do nano for the cheerleading/wordcount pressure, but I started this shit before november, so I have to make up my own motivational scheme. I have fic waiting, in open tabs, begging me to read it, but I am going to be productive first, even with the goddamn cramps. I'm going to try to get the cleaning knocked out first, maybe, since it is what I hate worst and then writing feels like a reward for cleaning. Of course, all this is between playing dinosaurs all damn day, so getting that much done may take til bedtime. Which means i will stay up after the kids are asleep to read fic, but I do that anyway.

Update. knocked fifteen minutes of cleaning out before I had to get back to the dinos. Kitchen looks civilized
