If you haven't seen Dr. Horrible's Sing-a-long Blog , I strongly urge you too. It's mostly funny, Joss Whedon's writing is delightful, and Neil Patrick Harris's singing is stunning. Okay, I am going through a musical phase right now (which sounds even odder to me than it does to you), and I might be partial. The hype over Switched is exciting for me but frightening. I want to believe that it's awesome as everyone says it is, and part of me does. But the rest of me is nervous about jumping all in when there's always the possability of rejection. I'm trying that whole Secret thing so I know I shouldn't believe that. I mean, I'm supposed to believe that everything already has worked out or something. But its hard. Self-preservation is a tricky thing. I have been ridiculously happy lately. For normal people, I'd imagine this is what falling in love feels like. My current life soundtrack is: "Rainbow Connection" by Sarah McLachlin, ...

I finished Switched last week, and I think it turned really good. I started the sequel, but I haven't gotten very far. I think I need a little break. I've been writing almost continuously since January, while also reading and editing my own books, and reading a few other books. So my heart just isn't in it this week, I guess. I've been working on Aether a little bit, tho, the third book in the Blood Approves series. Finished a new chapter the other night, and that was good. Right now I'm just obsessing over getting things published. I hate how I'm required to wait about everything. I understand how hard and irritating it must be to be an agent. I remember the first book I wrote (not completely terrible, but not any good either) and those ridiculous query letters I sent off. I had no idea what I was doing, and I'm sure so many other people are the same way. I've also read stuff from people who thought they were writers, and the work is barely legible. I...

I've written over 30k words in five days. Am I published yet? "Switched" is awesome. I really enjoy it. Finn is a bit more archetypal, but I think Wendy is less so, so it evens out. Jack was a very different hero from the ones I was used to, and I did that on purpose. He was clumsy and funny and charming and not the most attractive. Finn is smooth and strong and brooding and intelligent. But I like them both equally. That would be a fun love triangle. But not today. Not any day. "Switched" requires no vampire assistance.
