That’s right, folks. It’s crunch time! Between trying to finish up important projects in the new house so we can move in, packing up way too much stuff in our current place, and pounding away at revisions for Her Own Best Enemy, I’m feeling just a wee bit stressed and scatterbrained. I can’t wait until things settle down again, but if I’m scarce on the blog for the next several weeks, well, you’ll know why.

And speaking of boxes….I thought I’d pass on this cool link for all you music lovers out there:
Pandora Internet Radio
This site lets you create a radio “station” and it will find and let you listen to music that is similiar to the artist you put in. This is a very cool way to find some new artists, especially some that are lesser known than what’s being played on the radio. And it just might give you some inspiration for your writing!

I’m off to pack. *sigh* Why doesn’t that sound like fun?

Here’s what’s currently decorating my desktop:

NONFICTION:

I was surprised to find that one of my community libraries had this book. Most times I come up empty-handed with craft of writing books. So, I did an inter-library-loan, and picked it up this morning. I’ve only glanced through it so far, but it looks interesting, and I’m looking forward to applying some of these techniques to my revisions.

FICTION:

I’m picking my way through this book, not because I don’t like it, but because I’m trying to focus the majority of my time and energy on my revisions. I’m still waiting for my copy of Farrah’s book, DELIVER ME, to arrive, and have made a deal with myself that the book is a reward for when I reach the halfway point on my revisions. I’d better get back to work! ;)

CHILDREN’S:

A school friend of Scienceboy’s brought this book to school for show and tell, and my son had to immediately go to the library and see if they had it. The Spiderwick Chronicles is a 5 book series about a three children who live in a creepy house inhabited by trolls, goblins, faeries, and such. We’ve been reading them at night and we’re almost done with the first book. I’d definitely recommend them. You can visit the Spiderwick website, to learn more about them.

Okay…I told, so now it’s your turn. What are you reading?
