lanalucyI posted two stories yesterday to AO3. One has 8 hits today, one has 33. Guess which one has spanking in it? lol I love watching the hit counts - it's fun to see which stories people are reading as compared to which ones are my favorites. Very educational, if I knew what it meant, that is.
Death Race 3: Inferno - Mindless C-movie at its finest, complete with blatant misogyny and gratuitous female nudity. Unfortunately also included some gratuitous male nudity I could totally have lived without. :) Ends with unnecessary expositional montage, but whatever. Filmed entirely in Capetown and some other C-city (Ceres, maybe?), South Africa.
This'll be a busy week. Either the landlord or I (or both) have something outside the house every day this week. Much more activity than normal. Tonight was the first with a trip to Sonny Bryan's for BOGO tax day food. I thanked the friend who came over to go with us, and he said, "Your food was free, what are you thanking me for?" Well, he drove, which didn't use my gas, and he bought my drink. Plus, I think "thank you" is written in my bones.
I got an unopened copy of The Last Sentinel (that shrink wrap was a pain!) in the mail today. I don't expect much from the movie, but it's got Katee in it, so I had to see it. :) And it didn't cost me anything, so yay.
Oh, and I need another beta reader, sometimes. I don't write epics. My longest pieces is 2700 words, and my average is 550. I don't write every day, or rather I don't have something that needs looking at every day. Mostly just content - this is unclear, this is stupid, you used the word 'just' 27 times in this thing (boy did E.L. James need someone to tell her this w/regard to 'clamber' in book one), who's talking here, how did she get over there, that kind of thing. Grammar and spelling I have covered. Anyway, my main reader is fantastic, and is an enormous help with the finer points of smut, and she's also a newly-engaged working mom who travels for work, so, not always available to be at my beck and call. (right.)
I need an Alfred. Oooh. That would be so much fun, listening to someone read me the parts of my stories that are problematic in a proper British accent. Or Scottish. OK, maybe that's just me. Never mind. :D
I need to win the lottery. What? I asked the universe for a full tank of gas last week and got one. It's worth a try!
