{{HUGS F-list}}

I feel in the need for hugs today. I sent the friend an e-mail this morning - the friend who needed space, blah, blah. Yeah. I just...she needs to know how her actions and stuff make me feel, right? Otherwise, how can I expect her to know?

Also, my house is an utter disaster, and we have people coming to stay at it tomorrow night. *sighs at thought o all that hard work*

Anyway, moving on from those depressing subjects - I had two jewelry sales at my Etsy shop yesterday! It made me more happy and excited than words can adequately express! Packages went out today, so hopefully the recipients will be equally thrilled with the sparklies.

I wrote yesterday - (yes, kistha, I know the shock is great). I wrote a 'prelude' to the space pirates that is basically just backstory. I am ambivalent about it. I don't know if I will actually use it in the book, or if it's just a handy reference for me as I write...hmm. It sort of sets everything up for the whole book, though. I don't know. I hate the idea of having to put this chunk of exposition at the beginning, something that at least 50% of readers will no doubt skip over (I know I did, when I read The Dragonriders of Pern), but at the same time, I kind of feel this might be necessary, you know? I know! How about a poll - I'll post it here under a cut, and if you read SF at all, and feel like reading it, you can read it and tell me - keep it or leave it.

Meanwhile, today I mean to really dig in to the book and write the beginning. (As opposed to the middle, like I've been doing.)

( Prelude. Introduction. Whatever. )

Supernatural

Ooops. A brief peruse of my f-list reminded me what else I was going to post - ( SPN )

I need a really awesome brotherly themed icon of the boys. And also maybe one of them in their tuxes from Red Sky at Morning.

Sandman

As talked about in Neil Gaiman's most recent blog entry, I wants, so, so, SO bad. Click on the thumbnail to truly appreciate the awesomeness.
