Wedding

Alright, got a few wedding pics now. Here's just one.



That's the family sash I'm wearing. It was part of the ceremony, a Scottish tradition, hanging of the family tartan. I wore it the whole day, even though it kept wanting to fall off. Now when we go to Scottish festivals, I can wear my sash and show I'm a part of the clan.

And you can't tell that well here, but that dutch crown braid turned out beautifully. Shelly did an amazing job with my hair. Everyone said it was one of the prettiest, most unique weddings they had ever been to. And I had fun, which is what counts.

Eye Candy



Okay, you'll probably have to click this to make it large. I love these mind games!

What's the Opposite Of Writer's Block?

I've been in a writing sprint, but for how rushed my brain is going (thank goodness I'm not working now) I'm simply running out of things to work on that don't take some serious research, which I don't feel like doing. So... blog time!

I'm trying to seriously jumpstart my writing career, looking into getting a publishing agent to help out. I have one bookmarked, sounds like a real good group, not just some lawyer who likes to read contemporary stuff. They're in Oregon, so when we move up there, it'll work out great. Then they set me up with a publisher, do all the legal work that I'd have no clue where to even start. In return: 10%. Yikes. But then again, earning 90% of something is better than 100% of nothing, and I really don't feel like learning lawyer-ese just to publish this damn book. I'm getting a bit frustrated with it (I've been saying that for, what, eight years?).

Well, it's getting closer to being finished. I'm avoiding the research by jumping ahead to a later chapter. I hate doing that, it makes me confused with continuity. But... I really am in a fingers-flying-frantically-fast-fury feeling.

Woo! Say that three times fast!

Downing a cold cup of coffee in four seconds doesn't help. Wish me luck!
