Introducing... Kait the idiot

So... I write a lot. Last week I was working on my novel for six hours a nigh every night.

And while it pays off (I'm currently two thirds of the way through revisions, yayyyy), it can make me a bit loopy.

Case in point:


I accidentally printed my entire novel at work this week. I was taking my lunch break and working on the book at my desk and hit what I thought was the quick save button.


Clearly, it wasn't. The save button and the print button are right next to each other. If you ask me, that is quite the design flaw for Word to have, but whatevs, I'll just buy the office a package of paper and call it even.

And while I'd normally be really happy to have all 300 pages of my novel printed out and in my hands, this was only halfway finished a the time of printing. So... yeah.

I'm basically an idiot.

Anyway, I thought, in honor of my success at being a ditz, I'd share with everyone the blurb on my novel, a few comments and descriptions of some of the characters, and maybe a few other things.

But you'll all have to wait till tomorrow. I know. I'm so mean. I also need sleep or I'm going to do another dumb thing. Like print out 300 useless pages for a second time

*so much facepalm*

And just so you know, I pretty much love anyone who is actually reading my blog at this point. I don't know if you're out there, but if you are, I'm blowing you kisses as we speak.

Love, love, love and see you tomorrow!

NOT a love triangle

Well I don't have much to blog about today unfortunately. I got a new car this week. The local weeklong holiday in my town (UBIC, Uintah Basin in Celebration (it's a lame name for a decent event unfortunately)) happened.

Other than that, it's been a pretty good week for writing. I'm starting to think I might just reach the deadline I've set myself. That deadline being finish revisions by the end of the month.

WOOO!!

So I'll leave those of you that may or may not be watch with this passage I just finished working on from Grim's Soldiers:

Noah got up, but Harvey stopped him. “If you ever give me any reason not to trust you, I will end you,” Harvey told him. “I may not know January that well anymore, but I know enough. She’s lived in this town all her life. She’s family around here. So if you hurt her, I’ll hurt you." 
“Alright I can handle that,” Noah said, his voice almost good natured. “But I have a few things to add.” He stepped forward, staring right at Harvey, emitting danger from every pore. “If you ever give me any reason not to trust you, I will end you as well, faster and easier than you could have done to me.” He smiled slowly. “And January has become rather important to me recently. I do know her. Better than she knows probably. So if you ever hurt her, I will destroy you.”
Noah stepped past him, following January out into hallway. 
If they had been in fact vying for the position of alpha male as January had suggested, Harvey wondered if he’d just lost.

Pretty great, eh? I'm proud of it. I like the interaction between my two favorite male characters. But maybe that's just me. And no, this is not a conversation happening in the midst of a love triangle. I think we've had enough love triangles for a while, don't you?

Anyway, wish me luck. Hopefully I can finish a few more chapter of revisions and touch ups before work tomorrow.
