Visiting Ink in the Book and having a Muddled Mind


I have WAY too much in my head right now. I am being featured at Ink in the Book this week—today and tomorrow... So THAT is the real blog—I'd love you to head over that way..

those BEDS are trampolines! I adored this.
As for me... I'm meant to be finishing a book (A Shot in the Dark)... the book that keeps growing—GADS, does it keep growing. It will have to go on a diet in revision, but I now don't believe even the 120K will finish it. I should HIT that 120K this month... erm... tomorrow, I mean... But I may have 10K after that to go... like I said... JUST. KEEPS. GROWING.




My hero. Seriously. Got people reading again. That's big.
So who watched the Olympics opening? I totally hadn't meant to, but then I saw there were going to be 70 sheep involved and changed my mind. I mean... 70 sheep! (I know, right?) but I was SO IMPRESSED with the theatrical presentation of England's history and then the storybook/hospital piece. (wee jab at the US who stubbornly refuses to adopt a national health plan and I applaud them for it—we can be so STUPID in the US, and this is where I believe we are stupidest)

JK Rowling!!!! WIN!
100 foot Voldemort? OHMYGAWDYES.

His wand worked!  Talk about nightmares!
And then the Queen parachuting out of a helicopter with James Bond? (and her concerned Corgis? teehee) GAH! All those little pieces were sublime, but the overall pulling it together... seriously, if you missed it, find it. It looks like YouTube has at least most of it.

So that is what I have for now... just a few favorite memories and a commitment to getting my act together soonish... But go over to Ink in the Book because the REAL blog ise THERE...

The absolute highlight, IMHO. The queen rocks.
Hope you have a great week!  If anybody has any wrackspurt cures, give me a holler. And don't forget to come see me at Ink in the Book!
