In My Mailbox + Update

Reading wise, I was kind of slow this week but that's partly because I was reading Beautiful Creatures, a nice monster of a book. Right now I'm about half way through Dirty Little Secrets and hope to finish it today. Writing was, I did decently though. I finished 8 chapters of my beloved addict boy and am about half way through another one. If my planning estimates are right, I actually only have another 2-3 chapters after this one and I will be done with my first draft. That is such an amazing feeling and I am really hoping to get that finished by tomorrow- not only to be done, but because that marks exactly one month after the idea sparked and I really like the idea of having it done in just one month.

Tomorrow, my book forum is featuring Beautiful Creatures and Firespell. I know a lot of you have read at least one if not both of these- I definitely recommend hopping on the boards and discussion both of these great titles. Stay tuned for details as well because I tentatively have Chloe Neill slated to jump on the forum this Wednesday night for a chat. I will post details both here and on my forum for that once it's finalized. Links can be posted on my blog tomorrow as well to your reviews of these books so others can see them. Yep, its a little free advertising for everyone and who doesn't like that?

That about sums up my week... today, I plan to get at least this chapter and another finished on addict boy and I really need to clean. I keep telling myself I will clean for 15 minutes, read or write for 30, but I just end up sticking with the reading and writing. Sleeping till 2 might not have helped either but oh well. =)
