Five things make five things

1. My secret hobby right now is collecting poems for epigraphs to chapters of books I haven't yet written, and the fringe benefit is that I've discovered a lot of poets that I wouldn't have otherwise. Which makes me wonder, if there's a 50books_poc, is there a 50poems_poc or something like that? If not, why? Because there should be.

2. When I get extra frustrated about the Query Game which is stressing me extra because I don't have any other projects out on submission at the moment, I find comfort in Dr. Seuss's "Oh The Places You'll Go", particularly this bit:

You can get so confused
that you'll start in to race
down long wiggled roads at a break-necking pace
and grind on for miles cross weirdish wild space,
headed, I fear, toward a most useless place.
The Waiting Place...

...for people just waiting.
Waiting for a train to go
or a bus to come, or a plane to go
or the mail to come, or the rain to go
or the phone to ring, or the snow to snow
or the waiting around for a Yes or No

3. The Twelve Days of an Urban Fantasy Heroine. LULZ.


4. My book pr0n, let me show you it by Meljean Brooks. With pictures. I don't know whether this is work safe or not.

5. Eugie Foster reading Little Blossom Makes A Deal With the Devil is made of awesome. I love the story and I love Eugie Foster's reading of it. Have I mentioned that I love EscapePod lately? Because I should say.
