rivendellroseFic-writing hates me right now - last night when I tried to work, I pretty much got nowhere other than more convinced than ever that I need to completely scrap what I've been trying to do and start over again. Eep. There's gotta be a way to salvage this thing... I just haven't figured it out yet.
In other news, I've been reading up a storm the last few days. Finished "The Feminine Mistake" a while ago, finished "Otherwise Normal People" (about competitive rose gardeners), and this morning finished "The Beauty Myth." Oh, and I read "Sorcery and Cecelia" last 'weekend.' So that puts me... hmm. Sixteen books away from my goal of having 100 books read by March 13. I'm not sure I can do 16 books in a month... but the count for the year is still pretty impressive, I figure. And I like keeping track, anyway.

*Coughs* I can tag HTML. Really. >_>
