OK, the silliness is over

I had fun taking the Regency Heroine quiz, but now I'm all business. I finished A George RR Martin's A Feast For Crows day before yesterday. It was a rough ending becuase I didn't realized the back had a bunch of glossaries and an excerpt so when I finished what was, in reality, the last page (which was on the left side) I just moved to the next page on the right, and tried to make sense of the seemingly insane chapter title that began "Meanwhile..." Oh, no! It's like taking the last bite of chocolate while believing there is more left. Alas.

Yesterday I read Khaled Hosseini's Kite Runner. Was it any good? I started it yesterday and was up until 1:15am to finish. I cried. More than once. For different reasons. And, it passed the acid test: I gave it to my sister to read. If you haven't read this book yet, go read it. Just do.

I worked on the short today and basically started over and now I'm not sure I don't need to start over again. I'm kind of tired (see prev. para) and may not be thinking as clearly as I ought to. But, it's fun, plus a good warm up to get the writing muscles going before diving into.... what? I'm not fully committed. I need to know what my agent thinks of the stack-O-paper I sent her. I got a really nice email today about The Rake chapter One I have posted. From her email to some editor's checkbook...
