Announcements From The Realm: An Update On All Of The Things

[zelda_queen]

Everyone, a few announcements on things going on for the Realm, and in general.

First of all, I apologize very much for so few sporkings as of late. I don't know if my courses are catching up or what, but I've just felt exhausted for the past while. But I promise, I'm chipping away and hope to get the stuff finished up soon.

This leads to my next announcement, which is that while I'm going to try to finish up the current sporkings I have going on right now as soon as possible, it doesn't look likely that I will begin anything new in November. That is because I'm taking part in NaNoWriMo, which will take up a good chunk of my time.

That being said, I have a lot of things lined up after life stops being so insane. I think I might have found something that outdoes Hush, Hush by means of sheer batshittery, or at least rivals it. Erm...yeah.

I recently hit my anniversary for signing on to work at LensCrafters! I've held the job for a full year! I got my free pair of glasses, and they are the most kickass Oakley sunglasses imaginable. I love those things! Now, if only the sun would come out...

Happy Halloween, everybody! Hope you all got a lot of candy and had fun!

Congrats on the anniversary! :D

Dear God. Dare I ask?

May I join in asking?

Agreed. I almost don't want to know how you can be worse than that excrement.

Thanks!

Oh. It's a horrible, HORRIBLE book titled "Swoon", and it's by a woman named Nina Malkins. Basically, it's told by a girl named Candice ("Dice"), and has the ghost of a dude named Sinclaire ("Sin", 'cuz he's hardcore like that -_-) possess her cousin Penelope, who is described as a prude, which is not very good when you consider what happens later. Besides possessing Penelope, Sin tricks Dice into freeing him to get revenge on the town they live in, because he's pissed that in the ye olden days when he had lived, he'd been hung for being a...sexual deviant or something. Some sex-related issue. Anywho, he and Dice fall in love, even though he's been stealing the body of her cousin and tricking her. I read about it on the "YA and Rape Culture" article, which also featured Hush, Hush, so joy. :|

That has got to be one of the worst title I've ever read. It's not even harlequin. It's pure, undiluted stupidity. It doesn't make me wanna read the book, it makes me wonder what year of elementary school the author is in.

Can I get a link please? This sounds interesting. :)

And the sequel is titled "Swear". No idea what's in that one. -_-

Sure! http://bookshop.livejournal.com/1032547.html?page=4

It's very well-written, and links to a number of other very good posts on the issue.

Let me guess: It's BEastly, isn't it...?

OK, I'll wait to see what it is. :)

ANd no worries! You need a brake from the bad novels yourself, after all!

[zelda-queen.livejournal.com]

No, it isn't.

And thanks. ^^; But still, I promise some more, soon!

[zelda-queen.livejournal.com]

Ah, best of luck with NaNo! XD

And thank you! It's the longest I've held a job. (My previous and first job at Wendy's lasted for a few months, but I switched quickly. Hated it -_-)

Maybe some pics of the sunglasses. I'll see. ^^;

I started last night at midnight, right at zero hour. Got two days worth of writing in during the first day. :D

[zelda-queen.livejournal.com]

I intended to start right away, but I passed out at nine o'clock. O_o Most inconvenient.

[illyriasacolyte.livejournal.com]

I've been looking forward to this for a very long time. Couldn't wait. :) Wow, I'm a huge loser.
