author's neurosis, it's a tragic condition....
Still stressing about reviews. But I will hopefully resist tonight. I'm still among the Bookscan top 100 romances, total sales about doubled, but I did drop some, as I predicted. Will I get killed by returns?
Arghh! Something else to stress about! I better call the Ingram's hotline... Just needed to get that in. Moving right along...
Just came back from seeing Harry Potter. Go see this movie. It's fabulous. I could hear people around me gasping or saying "Oh, no!" I was on the edge of my seat. If I had time for an actual life, I'd go see it again.
Still reading Piazza Tales. It's still really, really good. I have to go to work for a bit tomorrow morning. I guess I'll read. I have to be there to do this incredibly important job that includes mostly waiting around for someone else to do a lot of work, and then I move an xml file from one SQL server to another. That's it. If I wasn't in dial-up heck, I'd be able to do it from home, but dial up just won't maintain a reliable server connection over the VPN. Oh crud, that's work talk. Ick. But my excuse is it explains why I'll be going to work and reading for school. I have a bunch of Dickensen to read this weekend, the Bradtstreet poems and then that's it before the practice oral on Monday. Then I have about 10 books to read before Dec 12, for the real oral.
