Hi everyone,

Well, last night I finally got around to doing edits for my WIP Pixie and I'm so excited, I managed to get the story up to 40k. Forty Thousand Words!!! The most I've done so far. I'm so proud and pleased. I'm aiming for 45k and gradually working my up from there. Who knows next year I maybe up to 60k mark which would mean for me working on that project that my CP yelled at me about, for smooshing the ideas into one. LOL.

There will be no contest for November since I'm currently organizing the raffle, we're still taking donations to the trunks. You can check out the blog here. I'm sooo excited about this raffle, so many lovely, wonderful, people have donated so much. I'm over the moon. If this thing goes well, I hope we get to do another one again next year. So, please cross your fingers that this does well. We should have a website up soon. Speaking of websites, check out the newly designed Selena Illyria Website, *grin* Ce, updated it and made it all fancy. lol.

I'm currently listening to Susie Suh's self titled album and loving it (one of my favs), along with the new Megan McCauley (sooo talented). I plan on playing those two cds along with The Best of Fuel, Jonny Lang's Wander this World and Long Time Coming and Slipknot Vol. 3 Subliminal Verses and trying to edit my WIP Runaway and do at least a thousand words for the second story in the Pixie series. I just keep coming up with ideas that turn into series, someone stop me. LOL. I'd like to have an idea and have be just a stand alone, that would be nice. LOL.

I finally, finally got to read Chirs Marie Green's Vampire Babylon and I LOVED it! You rock Chris. :-). I'm currently trying to read Locked Rooms by Laurie R. King. I love the Mary Russell series, a really cool take on Sherlock Holmes. I'm just being a chatterbox aren't I? LOL. Sorry about that, I may do a mini contest for a promo pack filled with author promo, not sure yet, maybe a delurking contest. *shrugs* I also have to finish up the Google Group to get it ready and what not, that should be by the end of the month depending on how engrossed I become with writing. I have so many ideas swirling in my head and it's hard to figure out where to go. I have a plan but the best laid plans right? LOL. Anyway, have a Great Weekend guys. Hugs all around.

Oh, before I go, check out Aurora Black's Interview that is up on my website right now. One of these days me and Ce will get around to doing another convo. lol. Ce is currently writing up a storm, you go sweets.
