The Finster Effect
Damn, this is a good fucking book.
I know I keep saying that, but man...I really love it.
The more editing I do, the more excited I am to drop it on you's. And now that someone with an impeccable eye has agreed to go over the final galley, I'm even more stoked. It's my dream to put out a novel without a single typo. I know, right?
Have some work and social obligations this weekend, but so far, I'm basically on schedule. I'm finding that the further in I get, the longer each chapter takes. Saturday shift this week, then shopping and guests on Sunday, then work Mon and Tues.
Watched the movie version of The Killer Inside Me with Casey Affleck. Didn't think much of it. I can tell it's a compelling story about a fascinating killer type. The movie did a fairly shitty job of exploring that, concentrating on hitting all the plot points and showing plenty of sexy ladies. Characterization was explored very little. It just makes me want to read the book all the more. However, I'm not buying any more books for a while. Not only am I in great danger of being crushed by a pile of them, but I really, really, REALLY want a Kindle fire.
Tops on my birthday wish list is Amazon gift cards for the getting of a Kindle Fire.
The party invited have gone out, electronically. If you feel like you should have gotten one and didn't, hit me up. I don't think I'm willfully excluding anyone this year. ;-] Fabulous guests this year are scheduled to include H's sister, possibly my brother, The great![[profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
sudrin, and plenty more of the usual peeps. Cigarrettes outside only. Planning to do a bean dip (instead of the traditional mexican layer dip) a spinach dip, pineapple cake, and possibly special cookies just for the grown-ups.
For those of you keeping track, after The Finster Effect is done, the next book I'm working on is a non-fiction book about Customer Service. It's gonna be hilarious. Then comes a horror book about a family of cannibals. That's the book I'm looking into language creation for. I really hope I'm up to the task of creating a language. Maybe I can find some twins to help me. ;-] By the by, does anybody know of a good reference on Twin Language?
