    Yep, payday is Thursday, hope they deliver fast.

    I really, REALLY can't wait to read it now.

    If it has been written well (No ****) Then I'll enjoy it. Fact.

    Yup, romantic horror is the way of the future my friend. There is a author who has written a paranomal romance novel, and she is actually labelling it as horror, and it is being dubbed, horror.

    Horror no longer means - Horror - an overwhelming and painful feeling caused by something frightfully shocking, terrifying, or revolting, anything that causes such a feeling, a strong aversion; abhorrence.

    Horror is now - any literature/movie where any one character gets harmed in any way, be it death, a wound, etc. Possibly even losing a lover. It does NOT cause an overwhelming and painful feeling caused by something frightfully shocking, terrifying, or revolting, anything that causes such a feeling, a strong aversion; abhorrence, although it may cause slight feeling of sadness at any one point. :rolleyes:

    So... I'm now writing a horror novel because characters die in it? Interesting...

    Yup, I'm afraid so. :rolleyes: At least it gives you a better chance of it getting published. I mean, it gives you a lot more markets to try and sell to. LOL!

    Johnny stepped on a Caterpillar.

    I'd read more, but it's horror and well.....

    Sweet! I like increasing my publication odds! :p

    Hey I was traumatized by that caterpillar's death! How could Johnny be so cruel? It was so gruesome..

    Just telling me about that is going to give me nightmares. You seriously should have put an 'R' rating on that. Have you no consideration for fellow members? *runs away screaming in fear of caterpillar's death*

    I agree, there really was no need for it, Speedy.

    Stepping on caterpillars happens often at a Texas Park. They fall from the trees in the thousands.

    I am burning some logs that I found in the brush while walking home. They are dry but popping like crazy! I keep having to police the fireplace for errant embers.

    I'm cold, so I'm wearing double pajamas and drinking a cup of (very) hot milk. =) I really do wish it'd warm up.

    You are welcome to take (most) of it. Level us off at ~80*F, you can take the remainder.

    Sorry Speedy! I'd send you some of my cold but I'm not sure it'd help much with how hot it probably is in Australia right now! It doesn't get very cold here (least not by my standards).

    It is winter here in Cali, but I didn't even need a jacket or socks today. I love California. Weather...perfect.

    Seconded. I hate this 35 degree BS.

    Lucky duck! When I was in school, they never canceled classes for weather. I dragged myself to my Spanish class through the pouring rain once, got there literally dripping from head to toe, and my professor was kind enough to cancel class, since the school wouldn't...but I had already gone all the way down there and gotten soaked. :rolleyes:

    I'm pretty sure I'm drinking prickly pear pink lemonade right now. It's...weird.

    Prickly pear is an interesting fruit. Makes a damn good beer though.

    I can't drink beer anymore, so I suppose I'll never know. :( The juice is pretty good, but it's giving me mad heartburn.

    Or that could be the Mike's I was drinking prior to receiving the juice...

    Believe it or not, a major storm front has just hit.

    Since my last post, the sky is almost black now and i can smell the rain (and hail) about to hit.

    Bloody weird. But thanks for sending it my way.
