    I have breached 20,000 words in my novel.

    I have officially passed the 1/5 marker for my set goal, however, because of certain things I did in writing it, the book will probably be closer to 200,000 words.

    Either way, huzzah.

    Sounds like something from a book, but no. TPBM is currently reading A Song of Ice and Fire.
  3. The cheeseman
    Only the ones in my room. TPBM has read Malazan.

    Granted. Your room now smells like pennies. I wish for a raise.

    My day started out well, but just took it's first southerly turn.

    I was actually able to be on time for my class today, which was great. It's a physics class I need to take to have credits and blah blah blah that's not the important part. The classwork was easy today and there's only about an hour of homework for the weekend. I got the audiobook of A Game of Thrones on Libby and finished the prologue and the first chapter on the drive home, and I'm actually really enjoying it so far. The world is interesting the characters are intriguing, and so far I think there have been a ton of hints at foreshadowing.

    But I can't talk about this book with anyone. My mother would be furious if she found out I was reading GoT and she would also be mad if she knew some of the (kinda sus) stuff that happens in other books I've read recently.

    So I got home about an hour ago, it was pretty okay. I put my work clothes in the wash, rearranged my bookshelf a little more, and actually got around to taking apart my airsoft gun to see why it's not bloody working.

    Then I went upstairs to get a drink.

    Aaaaaand of course, my youngest brother is throwing a tantrum because he can't play storming Roblox on his computer and because he's not currently allowed to use the phone he shares with my middle brother. So while he's screaming and complaining about that, my sister--who, mind you, is nineteen years old-- comes downstairs at NOON!! NOON!! SHE DIDN'T GET OUT OF BED UNTIL FORTY MINUTES BEFORE SHE HAS TO LEAVE FOR WORK!!

    *sigh*

    Then she immediately got grumpy and sulky when our mother told her to make a dentist appointment for her braces.

    Which made mom angry. She saw I was on my computer--probably reading an article, ider what I was doing--and shouted that if I was "playing a damn video game" I should turn it off. Then she handed me a list with some stuff I need to do, and among them was reading two books.

    I have been looking for thirty goddamn minutes and I can't find either of them. So now, almost everyone is in a bad mood.

    How's your rusting day been?

      Sometimes it sucks to have siblings, other times it's like in RotK when Eowyn says "I will kill you if you touch him." For me, at least, there's practically no in between.

      And my day has gotten better, a little. People have calmed down, my sister got to work on time, (barely) and I'm about to start working on a bit of the homework from my class.

      Also I get to host my writing group on Saturday evening and I'm thrilled because I finally get to introduce them to my favorite of the characters that I've written into my book so far, and because we only meet once a month, so we hardly get to discuss things in person. The only part about the group that's a con (not really, some might even see it as a pro, idk), is that all of the six other people are female.

      Oh, and I have finally found country music I enjoy listening to.

    I loved that scene. Egwene as Amyrlin is a great parallel to Rand as the Dragon, except that--in raw power--Egwene isn't nearly so strong.

    Mine is a statue of Alfred the Great, first king of the Anglo-Saxons. It's a connection to my heritage as a descendant of the British Isles. As you can see, I changed it green for May (mental health awareness) and still haven't changed it back. For a while, it was a piece of WoT art that depicted Rand's madness.

    And on today's episode of BookHaul[TM]...

    Spoiler

    I bought Red Mars, by Kim Stanley Robinson; Hyperion, by Dan Simmons; Master and Commander, (aka the ultimate bromance series) by Patrick O'Brian; and Gardens of the Moon, by Steven Erikson. Borrowed from the library were Shards of Earth, by Adrian Tchaikovsky and The Tower of Fools, by Andrzej Sapkowski.

    Total? $76.61 at my local B&N and a June 28th return date at my library.

    Malazan is thirty-something books.

    This may have been a mistake.

    "Thanks, I think so." He claps his hands together in front of his chest, saying "Well, now that we're all here, what are we going to do?"

    "Maybe... hold on the judging unless it's a trial? That might be better than glaring at people who do cartwheels. Speaking of:" The cheeseman then attempts a cartwheel, slips, hits his head, and probably concusses himself.

    The cheeseman raised his eyebrow at the whole situation. "Are you sure that was a hug?"
