Well, last night I’d intended for my kids to discuss their next step in vanquishing the villains. Instead they got in a fight because he won’t sleep with her until he knows nobody will try to kill her (never mind the fact that they’ve shared several passionate kisses…). Ooo-kay. I’m not sure where THAT came from. But I’m sure they’ll kiss and make up tonight.

Anyway, I did all that in two (longhand) pages. :) The actual manuscript page tally is up to 89 pages.

For tonight’s TV viewing pleasure, we have the season finale of Kyle XY. I sure hope Nick Lea’s character lives through it. I guess I ought to watch the episode of Vanished I recorded last week, so I’ll be up to speed for tonight’s episode. Maybe I’ll watch Lost Worlds instead and record the other. Though I’m trying to figure out how Churchill’s secret bunkers qualify as a world… Anyway, then it’ll be time for my beloved Life on Mars.

Two horoscopes for the week:

    “Monday and Tuesday could be very interesting days, as Jupiter trines Uranus early in the week. This may bring some wonderful news your way, especially if you have been trying to get a book published or to go on a long-distance journey. (:crazedjumping: Does this mean someone’s going to come along and scoop my book(s) up without having even read them?) There are many possibilities, so enjoy this magical aspect. The one problem that may occur is when Mars squares Pluto (Is this even valid now that Pluto’s not a planet?), which brings about a state of conflict that could lead to an argument at work. Don’t allow this to stress you out, as you need to keep a clear head. You will want to take advantage of all the good things that are happening, and any extra stress might cause you to miss out. Thursday is another day when life could change in unexpected ways. (In a good way or a bad way???) Saturn moves to oppose Neptune, and this is going to affect your financial axis. If a certain situation has been confused, then aspects of it that had been unclear may suddenly come to light. You may begin to see a pattern or picture that you had not been aware of on previous occasions. At the same time some part of this scenario may crumble away as it has threatened to do for some time. Friday may bring the chance of a lucrative deal your way. (Do tell!)
    “Major transits occur this week, making this a particularly important time for you. Saturn’s opposition to Neptune beginning on August 31, an aspect that will continue well into 2007, challenges you to put in the extra work that can help you manifest your dreams. (Does this mean I’ll have to write even more???) August 29 brings to a closure the freedom-oriented Jupiter/Uranus trine that has been around since November 2005. And in the middle of these major trends coming and going is a Mars square Pluto, which brings intense confrontation around issues of power and control, also on August 29. (Geez, that sounds like I’m gonna battle the goverment or something. I certainly hope not!) We end the week with the Sun/Mercury conjunction on September 1, and a plan begins to come together. Whew! (Oh, great, now they’re channeling the A-Team. :rofl: )

  1. Hey! Our longhand MSs are at almost the same exact page count! My character is just about to stumble over another body and realize his nervous suspicions of a friend are totally unfounded–and also that the friend is next on the list, along with the main character’s sister. It’s always something.

    Also–I love that you have pictures of your cast. You’ve probably noticed from my LJ that I do the same thing, although I’m having a hell of a time coming up with a picture of Erica. Everyone else has been pretty easy.

  2. Shelley, once I get caught up keying all this stuff in I’m hoping I’ll be well over 100 pages. Preferably way more. :) I love finding pictures of my cast, especially when I come across them when I’m not even looking.
