Sometimes...

the only proper form of expression is a yellow smiley...on the beach.

This post is merely to say that I am currently dancing around my room in the throws of unquenchable joy. I have a shiny new laptop...that belongs to an alternate reality. His name is Hector.

I have never once exhausted his battery and I worked nearly all day yesterday on the go. From seven minutes to over seven hours is quit the change in a writer's life. He ways nearly four pounds less then my HP (he shall remained named so as to not hurt his feelings). 

I've restarted my novel (draft fourteen) and started planning out the next year of my life. Organized and productive. This may I be.

Have a good Saturday and restful Lord's Day. I shall continue dancing. ;-)

If this was skype...there would a little ninja rocking out here for a perfect farewell.

Sniffing Books

Last night I taught my niece about book sniffing. It was high time she learned. She is seventeen months old and about to be a big sister!

Her favorite seemed to be leather. My journal is leather, so in addition it smells like fresh ink. I think I smell it more then anything else. ;-)
My journal is awesome.

And there is the smell of old books. Yummy!

And there is the smell of new ink on once blank paper.

Then there is the smell of musty books.

And the smell of your Bible.

And the smell of a new, cheap paperback! Oh what bliss!

I think this is one of the biggest problems in the Christian book market. We insist on printing our books on pure white pages with shinny covers and no smell. This may look up-to-date and last forever, but it looses the magical aroma of a cheap paperback.

And the very best of all...a lot of books of all sorts!
