Nope. Ain't gonna happen. Since that last post I got my son to bed, wrote the president's message for The Beau Monde, did some Crimson City blogging and um, no writing. I'm reading my son this book I am developing a true ahborrance for. It's NOT Harry Potter, we still haven't read that because we're slogging through this one. It's wordy and worse, full of 10 cent words and a bunch of made up words (its Fantasy) that are maybe easy to read out loud if your native language is Old Icelandic Runes. I've taken to using the easiest mispronunciation and sticking with it. (If I don't he notices and corrects me.) And tonight, tonight I started looking for paragraphs I could just skip and I did. Were this guy's editors afraid to tell him to knock it off with the ten syllable words people use ONLY when they're trying to win the Bulwer-Lytton bad writing contest? Oh, please please please let this book end so we can read Harry Potter or maybe Bartimaeus.
