Blurb for NaNo book:
IN THE BLOOD
It's Los Angeles, in the height of summer, and people are dying.
There are no suspects, no motive, no connections between the victims, and no murder weapon.
It's almost like they're dying by magic.
Lauren Harding is a troubled FBI agent with family issues. Lasin Qandi is a Seeker, a hunter of the magical, the supernatural and the demonic.
As time races towards the solstice and victims drop like flies, can they find the killer while contending with by a supernatural turf war, a lavish wedding, Lauren's superiors, a demonic cult and each other?

DING...SMACK...YEOUCH!!
You have just been hit by the age Fairy, Neuro.
Welcome to maturity.

Kids have a way of doing that without even trying.

its just simple mental math matics snow

yeah i will shut my trap now 

[Snowleopard]

Relax CWG.
Neuro was mostly referring to the stepson.

[cenwolfgirl]

relax
me? relax? really? i don't relax 

[Snowleopard]

Stress and uptight are NOT your friends.
Trust me on this one.
They lead to headaches and other nasty stuff.

[cenwolfgirl]

how do people not exspect me to stress?
if you want to give me exams
exspect me to be socibal
have friends
classes
put me in crowded places
yeah not clam and relaxed

[Snowleopard]

Yeah, that's a lot on your plate.
And things probably feel WAAY more intense for you than say for me.
But try to take time, everyday, to just sit quietly for awhile and
not worry about stuff.  Listen to music, pet Pennie - whatever works to
take your mind off things.

[Snowleopard]

Yeah, mums are like that.
They have our best interests at heart but sometimes you'd like them
to be a little less intense about it.

In The Blood has now broken the 20,000 word barrier. In fact, it now stands at 21,109 words. NaNo count is now at 15306.

Merlin's Courtship (my NaWriNoMO attempt) is over 16,000 words and rolling along. Destroyed a nightclub and running around Boston and has Vampires, Fae and Morgan LeFey!

Not a damn thing written today... but a lot of time spent working one of my beta's edits in.  And I've also got a nice antagonist forming up where I had some cardboard before.  One of those The Other Side's Redshirts who's taken a life of his own. 

[cenwolfgirl]

Yeah, mums are like that.
They have our best interests at heart but sometimes you'd like them
to be a little less intense about it.

i wish she would just back up a bit and give me some space my grades are pass able and i have a hand up over most in my year

I think I see grades in a quite completely different light  than you might.


For example, I don't see an 'A' as an 'excellent' grade. 


  It just means 'This person has learned as much as I can possibly teach them in classroom format  - but actually making something out of it is a different story'.


Put in other words, there is a gap between an 'A' in classroom format classes and actually owning the knowledge.


That gap is so huge, so enormous, so demanding of extra study, attention, effort, out-in-the-wild-on-your-own type willpower ...that the gap between C and A is miniscule in comparison.   Especially if there is a person whose mission in life is to help you bridge that smaller gap between C and A.




(and yes, I am older than neuro)

[cenwolfgirl]

um i am happy if i pass the class
anything more is exstreamly out of the ordanary
