Waving the white flag

Okay, I give up. I surrender the weekend to anti-progress as it relates to my writing. *sigh*

I did finish SAINT CITY SINNERS though. It was good (can Lilith Saintcrow write bad?). I'm struggling with what to say here without giving too much away. I guess I'll say this: I learned that Danny Valentine and I are two veeeeeeeery different people. I mean even beyond the whole part-demon bounty hunter thing. She made choices in this book that I not only don't agree with, but I can't even honestly say I understand them. A lot of times when that happens, I'll knock the writer a bit -- clearly s/he didn't accomplish their goal of bringing the reader around to the MC's point of view, right? Not agreement, you understand, but acceptance. An understanding that even if this isn't what you would do, you understand why the character chose to do it and it makes sense for that character. In this case, I feel more like I'm just not getting the whole picture yet. I'm going to reserve judgement until the end of Book 5: TO HELL AND BACK, out in January.

We also decorated for Christmas, tree and all. The house feels nice and festive now. Well, at least the living room does.

Ok, I'm off to bed. New words tomorrow or I'm going to have to kick my own ass. Word hag is NOT happy.
