I forgot to participate in this last week. Oops. I blame low B-12 levels.  Anyway, this meme comes from shouldbereading, and to participate  all you have to do is to answer the following questions:

What are you currently reading? What did you recently finish reading? and What are you planning to read next?

The book I am currently reading is… actually several books:

Priestess of the Nile by Veronica Scott. This an Historical fantasy novella, or maybe a short story. I am halfway through, and enjoying it so far.

How Not to make a Wish by Mindy Klasky.  This is a paranormal romance. It is good, but I am thinking it isn’t for me. We will see if I finish it.

Books that I recently finished:

Cursed by Benedict Jacka.      This is the second book in the Alex Verus series, and I gobbled it up.   If I could I would pre-order the third book in the series ( I am reading the Swedish translation).

The Gift by Tiffany Reisz  This was an erotic  short story that Harlequin offered for free awhile ago. While I liked it, I don’t think I’ll read the full length triology, since I had a lot of trouble with the choice the heroine made at the end.

The Next book I plan to read:

Pride mates by Jennifer Ashley.  I have read a couple of the Shifter novellas that she selfpublished, and liked them so when I spotted this at an 60% discount (due to a damaged cover) at local bookstore, I decided to buy it.

So. This morning I got a letter from WWF.  Which wouldn’t have been anything ordinary, if it wasn’t for the case that I am at my dad’s right now.  And… I freaked out.   Why? Two reasons:

A) I am not registered at my Dad’s address, but at my apartment.

B) I haven’t talked with them in years, not to mention given them my dad’s address.

I decided to walk over to the IRS office, and check if my registered address had changed.  When I got there, the very nice lady told me that it was still the same.   I had lunch, and thawed up, at a local mall. I was relieved, and a bit baffled since I still couldn’t figure out how they had tied me to do dad’s place. And, then, when I was back from the bus stop  I realised how it had all happened.

See, at christmas  I got a very touching handwritten donation diploma  from my youngest brother stating that he had donated 200 SEK ( 30 dollar) to WWF.  When he filled in that, I suspect that he gave them my name- and his address.

At least that mystery is solved! 😀

Number of words typed in:

3000 words.  Although a lot of the words on Sunday was brand new, due to a new subplot.

Number of Oops discovered:

1.  I realised that for the villain’s motivation to work the princess should be a prince. Minor fix, but major implications.

Number of times I dithered about something;  2.

Numbers of times I loved my charaters:

Too many to count.

Favorite lines:

All of them, but I think I like this.  It is non spoilery, too :).

” Rig. I swallowed a growl. Rig  was more fox than troll or Skogsrå. He had been canny and smarmy since the moment he opened his eyes in mother’s den.”

All in all this was a splendid  weekend :D.

So, I reached the point were the new beginning meets the old middle yesterday. Which means that I am starting the type in today.    Before I reached that point, I called Mum and promised stay with her this weekend. Poor Mum, I’ll be so social this weekend. Not. LOL. 

Considering how the words are tumbling in my brain, I am tempted to go back and edit the first 4 000 words. But I will not do that.  The goal of this type in is to get simply type in the pages. That said, I’ll do some tweaks.  In fact, I think doing slight tweaks will increase my momentum.

I haven’t had any days were the words flowed this week, but the slow and steady has netted me 22 pages so far, or roughly 2000 words.  I have a bit mixed feelings about the draft.  The quality of the draft is… low.  Which can be fixed later, I know.  The fact that I am aware of the fact that the draft is bad is another difference between writing in English and Swedish.   But, I am also more aware of other things.  Like foreshadowing. I am doing a lot of  foreshadowing right now,  which makes me happy :).

I should reach the point were this version of the beginning joins the old version some time this weekend. Then  I start the type in :).  And when the type in is done I get to print out the whole thing, read  it through, mark up the pages, do a synopsis and… write the end. 😮
