TTC is finally here!

I ordered Sandra Wright's Take The Cake a while ago and today I received a note that I can get it from the post office on Monday. YAY!

TTC started as a fanfic and now it's been published by Omnific Publishing as a paperback and eBook. I loved the fic when I first read it and now that it's a real book I'm even happier. I definitely recommend it to everyone.

I can't wait for Monday! ^^

Random unrelated post

Me and my fiancé had our 5 year engagment anniversary two days ago.

He took me to a new restaurant and we had glasses of champagne (from some tiny vineyard) and a three course meal with wines (again from smaller vineyeards). A lot of the ingredients (for example, the butter for the bread and the dough the bread was baked from that day) came from some smaller or local producers.

Everything was delicious, the place was beautiful and quiet, the staff was great. I had the best ceps (with basil and gnocchi) I've ever eaten and the wine was absolutely fantastic dry white. The zander was good too, only slightly too salty for me. The dessert was an indulgence; sinfully sweet and rich chocolate cake with brandy ice-cream and banana. The accompanying sherry brought out the banana flavor really well and it was dangerously sugary, almost like syrup. The waiter told us the amount of calories per bottle and it was ridiculously high.

I will definitely want to go there again, even if it wasn't exactly cheap.

It was a lovely night, although I was so tired I had to take a nap before we went to the restaurant so I could stay awake enough to eat. :D


I love my man. <3





I didn't take the pictures, I stole them from their Facebook page. (click to see the whole picture)

BTWWS Chapter 1. finished

I can't believe it, but it's true.

With the help of Katie I have managed to get Chapter 1. ready and waiting for posting. This is very good news, but the bad news is that I'm stuck with Chapter 2. I know where I need to go but some parts in between are making this difficult for me. It's starting to piss me off. Maybe I need to take a break today. :P

Writing and insomnia

I am really happy now that kdc2239 kindly took me under her wing and she's been helping me with my writing. I am so glad I have her. :) I definitely need the help, and so far, it's been very productive to work with her. I have a shitload of stuff to fix and the whole story kind of expanded beyond a one-shot. It'll be a few chapters long, about 3-5k each. The first chapter is shaping up pretty well now that I've got help but today is a wasted day in that field because I haven't been sleeping much lately. I'm too tired to think straight so I'm off to bed very soon. It's annoying because I really wanted to keep working with the story...

Sleep. Now.
