Launching Weirdly Obsessed

(Sorry, Rogue, this is still not the TBSOL update ;)) I've had this other domain for a while (read: months) that's just been sitting around, collecting virtual dust (actually, this is 1 of 2). I've finally gotten around to making it presentable and turning it into what I always meant for it to be: a blog. Specifically, a blog about all of the things I obsess about on a daily basis (because there's a lot of [+]

Screwy sleeping schedule is screwy

My sleeping schedule has reached new heights of screwydom (new word). I was up until around 9am working on TBSOL. I really wanted to post the chapter today but I spent about four hours rewriting a paragraph that I then - eventually - deleted. So progress was no good. I woke up at 5:30pm. No good, either. My mom's last email cracked me up: "te llegaron 2 cheques $30 y $60. Me puedo retirar..... a dormir." [+]

News

As I'm sure you can see, Midnight Island got a new paint job. I'll be working on tweaking the layout over the next few days to make it easier to navigate. In the meantime, if you experience any issues, let me know! Chapter 43 of TBSOL should be going up sometime next week. I'm aiming for sometime between Monday and Wednesday. I've added a few icon links to social networking sites that I'm a part of. Please [+]

Oh hai

This is a test post to make sure we didn't break anything while trying to fix something. :) [+]

Another day, another blog post

Firsties, I've got a post up at AfterEllen that's worth checking out because it's about Kristin Chenoweth. Perhaps more exciting than that, though - if anything can be more exciting than something involving Kristin Chenoweth - Malinda Lo has an interview up with Sarah Waters. A video interview at that. In other news, I've spent my afternoon outlining the entirety of TBSOL - Chapter 42. I outlined 10 scenes, half of which may actually belong to Chapter [+]

TBSOL v2 Update - Chapter 41

Actually didn't think I'd manage to get this chapter done before the weekend. Happy to prove myself wrong. :) Chapter 41 @ the TBSOL v2 LJ [+]

News of Possible Interest

Thanks for the adds on MySpace and the kind comments about TBSOL and my writing. :) I've created an Alix & Valerie MySpace page as well, so please feel free to add that! And thanks to everyone that's ordered a copy of A&V so far. Any reviews on Amazon would be greatly appreciated. And if you could help spread the word, that'd be supertastic. :) My latest post at AfterEllen is up as well [+]

Attention all Photoshoppers/A&V Lovers :)

Okay, so the current Alix & Valerie cover didn’t fly well. :) The publisher's open to working with a fan-selected artist to design a new cover. This would be a labor of love, but you would of course be given full credit on the published book. If you've got photoshopping skills and want to give this a shot, please send me/post in the comments some image samples (they don't have to be A&V covers, just something [+]

… and a fresh coat of paint.

New layout here at MI! I’m still playing around with the code, but this is more or less how it’s staying for a while. I wanted something a little cleaner and I got tired of the old layout. If you hate this one, don’t worry, it will probably change again in a few months. I have a (layout) commitment problem.  And now some randomness: Twitter is a strange thing. It calls to you. It says, “Please, [+]

Couple of Maintenance Things

I just finished upgrading the site to WordPress 2.5 - which means absolutely nothing to most of you! But if you wandered by here during the past hour or so and wondered if MI had been abducted by aliens again, the answer is no. I was just doing naughty things to it behind the scenes. ;) Also, I joined the madness that is Twitter, so feel free to follow me. I added a plugin that [+]
