Happy Friday the 13th

I generally find that they're better days than other days, so I'm really looking forward to this one.

Plus, based on last night's visual observation, it looks like a full moon today, too (even though my calendars all say it's not supposed to be until tomorrow), so I wonder if it's likely to be more powerful.

So, what are you folks going to be doing this weekend? Anybody got anything exciting going on?

My priorities are two-fold:

RELAXING - because I really need it. The past month has been soooo rushed that there hasn't really been time for rest at all.

WRITING - cause I'm going to finish Out of the Darkness this weekend, which is cool. I'd hoped to finish yesterday. That's what I'd planned for, but I had to take things easy this week cause I was so stressed and exhausted. I'd like to finish tomorrow, but I often crash and burn into forced relaxation on Saturdays, so it might be Sunday instead.

I'd also like to do more reviews/critiques this weekend. I did quite a few last weekend. I'd like to make that a standard weekend routine, if I can.

Going out for breakfast in the morning. Good way to start the relaxing. I'll probably take some stuff to read for reviews/critiques then...though I'll probably take my notebook and do some plotting, too.

It's supposed to rain here tomorrow and Sunday, so that's an extra added bonus. HOORAY! Love rain!

So, what are you guys doing? I bet you've got more exciting things going on than me...cause I'm staying away from exciting this weekend. :)

Have a great Friday!

Dudes, What a Morning!

Too beautiful to adequately describe.

I was coming down off a good-sized hill in my neck of the woods and the San Gabriel Valley spread out in the darkness like glittering jewels. It's always a beautiful sight, and I'm impressed with it every morning.

However, today was perfectly clear. No fog. No haze. Visibility all the way to the mountains beyond Glendora.

And, a huge golden full moon hung over that already perfect picture making it nothing short of magical.

If only someone had caught that on camera.

It was amazing.

And, then, my car odometer turned over 66666 on the way to work. And, that amused me to no end cause...well...we all know that I'm easily amused. :)

But, I have to put in at this point (cause it's what I do) that my Terra is 3 years and 7 months old and the most perfect car in the world. Nothing but routine maintenance, 60 miles to the gallon on a regular basis (100 miles to the gallon on occasion), doesn't even need a tune-up (to replace her iridium spark plugs) until 100,000 miles, and I will adore her always.

Eager to Hear About Everybody's Current Projects

So, what is everybody writing on these days?

Or revising...

Or marketing...

It's so exciting to hear of everyone's progress and I love reading it when your projects make it out into the world. I love following your progress and CHEERING for you!!!

One of my goals for the year is to shove some little fledgling projects out of the nest and see if they fly or fall. (Poor little fledgling projects.)

But, I think that might not happen until mid-year. I have too much momentum going in other directions right now.

For all of you NaNo participants, are you still working on your NaNo project in some shape or form? Completing it? Revising it? Querying it?

How many of you are completely finished with it now?

Strange

I made a post a few minutes ago, and it does NOT show up in my recent entries.

Wonder if it's a delayed reaction post.

I Thought I Had Sometime Witty to Say...

Then my brain died.

However, it is Friday, and that explains it all.

So, day's stats and then to bed.
