Ugh, sorry about the delay in reply there - this has been a very painful few days.
I tend to use twitter for just about everything - links I find interesting, chatting with friends, random musing, grumbling about pain and of course, talk about my writing. The challenge of writing something in 140 characters appeals to me, too. And I've met a lot of wonderful people through using it, as well as having some amusing experiences - I use gomiso.com, which is a movie/tv applet that posts when you log in to say you're watching something and when I did it for a movie called "Gentlemen Broncos," I was suddenly friended by dozens of fans of the sports team, The Broncos. And online betting agencies. I had to tweet that no, "Gentlemen Broncos" had nothing to do with sport and I never tweet about rugby (my sport of viewing choice is world cup soccer!) so they were going to be very disappointed if they were hoping for Broncos chat!
Thursday Thirteen - like a Friday Five but on a Thursday and with thirteen things? That sounds awesome. I'm a big fan of LJ and oh, when it was down bc of the DDOS, that was a small revelation in how much I use it.
Good luck for the move! The economy's been such a kick in the pants for everyone. Sometimes I think the governments of the world should all agree to scratch all international debt and start from scratch, with no one owing anyone else any money. Which will never, ever happen, it's like a wistful dream. I'm sorry to hear you and your partner were both laid off work.
Ooh, good luck with Carina! I've heard nothing but good things about them, so I hope they pick up your Angelic Prophecies series. I'm working on two novels at the same time because I'm a glutton for punishment, one's the Archangels one for Noble and the other is a 12th century Byzantine empire story for Dreamspinner. That one's slower going as I have to research things that I'm not 100% sure on, but the research is fascinating, so I've been doing a lot of reading and peering at maps thoughtfully. I'm excited about both of them, I can ramble happily about things I've found in the history of the Silk Road for hours! I've got a short story coming out in June with Less Than Three press in an angel themed anthology and another with Freaky Fountain Press coming out in July in a mythology anthology, and I'm sure the plot bunnies will give me ideas for other short things as I work on the novels. The plot bunnies are evil and demanding creatures.
I hope your headache went away, if you're near a health food store, I highly recommend some peppermint essential oil and some eucalyptus essential oil. Just inhaling them helps the headache go away, along with painkillers and rest, etc.
