Well, I officially crossed over today. It's happened at last. I now own an e-reader. It only happened because my husband's five-year anniversary for working at his present company rolled around and he got to choose his ... prize (which makes it about the most hard-won, expensive Kindle ever). None of the other options made much sense (a watch when he doesn't wear one, a briefcase when he carries a backpack, and so on), so he chose the Kindle. Though it's really his, he knows who will use it more. He's so sweet.
So now I am excited to be able to buy all the ebooks LegendFire members have written, as well as those by authors I've met at blogger and Goodreads and Smashwords. Reading them via PDF on my computer is no fun when I want to curl up in my chair and read. Now, the Kindle is not warm and fuzzy pages, but at least it's book-sized and portable. So we're good to go.
Seriously, the most expensive Kindle, ever. I had better appreciate it and get years of good use out of it. Now, where do I begin? ...

Also, in compliance with my new posting schedule, instead of updating the novel progress daily, I'm now updating weekly:
THIS WEEK'S PROGRESS
Project: Falcons Rising
Pages Revised: 12
Pages Cut: 6.5
New Scenes: 1 (4.5 pgs)
Bad Things that Happened: Ogres stink like roadkill that's been on a hot road in summer for many days.
Good Things that Happened: Alliances are forged. Well, that might be really bad for our heroes.

I didn't know anything of LegendFire until I read this. I registered last night, and I'm already addicted!
Oh, wow! I just checked, and you're Bags! Awesome. I hope you like it there. We work really hard to provide a helpful and supportive community for our writers.
Oh, I love it. I talk to my immediate family a lot about writing and such and they look at me like I'm speaking Russian. These people speak my language. It's a nice outlet.
I'm jealous. I've been wanting a Kindle forever.
Amber - when your upcoming novel sells countless copies, wouldn't it fun to celebrate by buying your own Kindle?
