Work and More Work
I've been working a lot and been el' sicko lately, hence the lack of blogging. Not sure where my days have been going, except passing me by in some kind of blinding speed of light, much like a tornado picking me up from my bed in the morning spinning me around and then tossing me somewhere in the vicinity of my bed by the evening, usually on my head or my butt. Though nowadays I can't much tell the difference between either.
I am however attending the WRW Retreat. Another reason for all the working so I can pay for that and my vacation, which was already booked last year before all my financial craziness ensued. Ack!
(Lizzy, please forgive for not calling about this. It was a last minute decision—literally 2 days prior—and I totally forgot to tell you until it was too late [too much going in my brain and not enough going out]. I'm such a dweeb. Forgive me :( ])
So I'm thrilled about that. Now I just need to get my latest and greatest in shape to pitch and between working on site and the working on Billion Dollar Graphics, my writing has gotten pitched to Oz along with Dorothy and Toto.
But I'm blogging, and that's a step. I was making progress before my week o' hell and getting up early to write before the tornado sweeps me away, but I'm not as far along as I'd like to be. I'm hoping to settle more into a routine once I kick this lingering cold, which won't go away. Ugh!
Anyway, Karen suggested writing about superpowers ... because ... that's what my latest book is about—a league of superheroes. I had the idea over a year or so ago and I've developed the synopsis and a lot of points on it, so I've very excited. Which has led me to thinking, geek that I am, what my superpower would be.
Hmmmm ....
I though it might be cool to do everything, like Peter from Heroes, who can assume others' powers after having been in contact with them. Now he has a vast collection of powers. But I think that might require too much multi-tasking for me.
I had a dream years ago where I could phase through things, like Kitty Pride from X-Men. It was a lot of fun in my dream. So maybe something along the lines of alternating my molecules to allow myself to phase through walls and objects and maybe even turn invisible.
I just think I could have a lot of fun with that one. :P
What about you? What would be your superpower?

ahh now, see, I'm the empath...so I'd end up more like poor Peter. LOL.
GO you on the Retreat! I'm jealous. And, ABOUT DAMN TIME YOU POSTED! Of course, I've been a slacker lately.
If you want to get over or avoid the colds, you should have called me!! You know I know my way around that stuff ;) Hell, my allergies are GONE!
Tara is planning a Girl's Night out on the 12th, wanna go????
*hugs*
me
The ALL POWERFUL STACIA ... that has a good ring to it. :P
I'm glad to hear you've got your allergies licked. I'll let you know if I need help. I'm hoping my good German stock will fight this off soon.
Ugh! On the 12th I'm attending a silent benefit auction for a friend's organization. Wish I could go because I miss seeing you. It's been too long. We'll have to plan something else soon!
*hugs back at ya*
Superpowers, eh? I've already written about one of them. Invisibility. My crit partners are sniffing through the puppy right now. I'd love to be able to fly, too. Talk about saving on gas money and...well...money in general.
Nice to see you back in blog land, too. ;-) I know how busy things can get.
So glad you are going to the Retreat!
Hope my head fits through the door so I can join you. I'm going to get WAY vain if you keep using my suggestions for blogs!
I still really want the ability to walk through time for my superpower. Right now I'd settle for any time before I had kid so I could hear myself think!
Marcia, you are just too practical. Love to hear what your new story is about. Sounds like it's right up my alley. :)
Karen, alright so I've been thinking about that time travelling character. She may not make it in this one, but definitely the next one will have a leggy brunette with a wry sense of humor. :)
