Not sure how many copies of Sunday I'll have at the Con. I'm sending them out as they come in completed. So we'll see. I will have Mystics and Desolation, though. Also, in all the rigamarole about the Film Fest, I don't seem to have an official reading time. I'm planning on storming the reading room if I can find anybody who gives a damn about listening to me. Stay tuned for that info when I have it.

Not sure how many updates you'll get between now and Tuesday. The Con will probably drain my will to live. For updates, check Needcoffee. We're going to try and blog things as we go, depending on network coverage. If I think of anything worth saying for this site, I will.

Otherwise, to tide you over, Something Odd 15 & 16 are up here. Enjoy.

Now that it looks like I'm going to keep doing these damn things, I've created pages with ten of the Something Odds to each one. So you can read them a bit easier.

Here's 1-10 and here's, so far, 11-14. Enjoy.

So you can blame her.

#10

#11

#12

When I have a second to breathe, I'll create pages for 10 at a time for easier reading.

In other news, the first completed rough copy of Sunday is in my hot little hands. Huzzah and stuff. I'll be updated the writing sidebar this weekend, mayhap.

This is ridiculous.

I know the bishop and dean argue it is fiction - and it might even be brilliant fiction - but it is against the very essence of what we believe.

First of all, how much do you have to pay to get an entire religion to do an ad campaign for your book/movie? Because I think that's the real conspiracy behind all this rubbish: the Catholic Church gets a kickback from Brown based on the book's sales. Why else would there not have been a single week in recent memory that the book wasn't making freaking headlines? First, you had the book hooplah with everybody saying it was fiction that rocked their world. This only proved that they don't read very much, because it's really only amazing in how mediocre it actually is. I'm sure if you only read one book every two or three years, and that book is whatever the "In" book is to have your nose in, then yeah, Dan Brown is Fiction God. Then there was the wave of specials on television. Now the protests just in time for the film. Ugh.

Second of all, can you imagine a life that's more pathetic than one in which the belief system you've based your entire life around is so fragile that a book can threaten it? Me neither.

It's one thing when I get stopped from boarding a plane because I have a common name and they need to make sure that I'm not a big fat T-word or something. Both coming and going. Like somehow between being let on the plane in Atlanta and trying to return to Atlanta a few days later I've been recruited for some T-word organization and should be re-checked. Whatever. Fine.

But…babies? Come on. If you don't have enough sense to know that somebody who's two isn't likely to have crawled off somewhere to get recruited without his or her parents' knowledge (or if you at least haven't RTFM for TSA procedures which supposedly says that 12 and under are exempt), we really need to get you away from customers, all right?
