BSG: The Plan

Hi everyone (& especially to Christina whose ears would have pricked up at mentioning BSG).

Still struggling with my headaches, so the past week has been little work on writing. Though I have written some words and edited a chapter or so, as well as an article for Hearts Talk. Go me. Though my effort at 50k in 30 days (or in my case 25K) is not going well. I have a couple more weeks, hopefully I can gain some ground.

Today, I came home to find a package for me - & yes it was Battlestar Galactica: The Plan!! I entered a competition on the Showtime Channels website and won it. A real surprise.

Am really looking forward to watching it, but with BSG I need to have some brain cells to match up all the plots - so I'll wait until I feel better. Then again watching this could make me feel better. What to do? What to do?

I have been watching some sci-fi as I have been watching season 1 of Buck Rogers in the 25th Century on DVD. Bringing back some childhood memories.

I also finished reading Fallen by Lauren Kate. Really enjoyed it and it is a series, with the next book coming out in a few months. I have to make sure my library orders it ;) The danger of borrowing books from the library is that I don't get around to the hordes of them here waiting on my bookshelf.

Bits and pieces

Well I hope to be able to do a post with Bits and Pieces of info that I come across....

First of all, we've started a round robin of introducing you to the Bootcampers and what we write. First cabs of the rank are Dana and Janine. To visit, click here.

Next, it's NaNoWriMo is in November - that is the National Novel Writing month. It's goal is for writers to write 50 000 words in one month. The 50ks in 30Days ladies are going to go ahead with this. I will be cheering them from the sidelines and will not be joining in as I did in June. You can check out how they go by visiting their blog.

Christina Phillips has her debut book 'Foretaste for Forever' out now with The Wild Rose Press. It was released yesterday but I'm sure her launch party will still be going at her blog. *vbg*

Now when I saw this I was instantly transported back to my childhood watching the show on TV and in the commercials making up storylines for the characters... Buck Rogers!!
