D: Is My Expression Right Now

Everywhere I go I see, in the YA sector, people going, “NO MORE VAMPIRES!” and other words to that effect.

Every time I see that, though, I just want to yell back, “BUT MINE AREN’T IN HIGH SCHOOL!”

 
Delia’s over eighteen for a reason people. Just as Daniel looks about twenty-five.

Definitely not in high school, y’all.

 

Oh, and mine also have fangs. Coz the biting is the fun bit, right? I like my vampires grey and walking penetrative sex metaphors.

What Is Dinah Reading?

I start chapter four of Bones with Dinah lying on her bed reading and listening to music while Gregory sticks his hand through the door and waves it about in the hopes of catching her attention – as a ghost he can’t knock, and he does not know her well enough to simply walk through and say hello. Plus imagine the awkwardness if she was getting changed or something!

Anyway, just a bit of fun, plus a snippet of this WIP, can you guess what book it is Dinah is reading? :P

On her lap was a book, read so many times every page was dog-eared and the words on the spine were barely visible under the many thick white creases. The book in question was comfort reading and her favorite in the series – it was not as fancy-free and youthful as the first two, nor was it as dark as the later ones. The right amount of darkness and light for Dinah, and with a bittersweet ending. Although sadly the little bit of hope that the ending had once contained was gone, thanks to having read the rest of the series, it was still nice to pretend that she was as free and flying high as the title character.

A Double Celebration!

I have reached the 40 000 and 10 000 word marks for Lionheart and Bones respectively. Isn’t that awesome?

I think so!

Anyway, now that I have more than definitely reached the half-way point for Lionheart, and am about a sixth of the way through Bones I just need to be like the kitty below and reference Star Wars stay on target.

But in the meantime: Yippee!
