Off Writing Synopses
Wish me luck! 
P.S.
What’re you up to today? Something more fun than synopses?

Wall-Bangers & Book Etiquette
I was thinking about the term “wall-banger”. Does anybody really throw books against the wall?
*erica shudders*
Not me! I practically burst into tears if I accidentally crease the spines. And I will use any random object within arm’s reach before dog-earing a corner to mark my spot. Books are just… special to me. I get really honked off when I check out a library book and there’s coffee stains and missing pages and highlighted passages—Grrr.
(I seem to have a lot of Care And Feeding Of Books angst today.)
Anybody else out there cringe when a book you loaned out comes back creased and bent? Or are you a spine-breaker and corner-folder?
P.S. I’m over in Mavenland today dishing about POV and Sub Plots–come tell me whether you agree or disagree with my assertions! =)

Storyboards & Setting as Character
Happy day-after-Tofurkey-day… Or whatever it is you non-vegetarian types eat. *g
(I’m still sick, so I had instant oatmeal. Mmmmm.)
I did manage to post 3 great reasons to storyboard over at the Manuscript Mavens blog, and my thoughts on Setting as Character over at Romantic Inks.
Come say hi to me–It’ll make me feel better! =)

I lied!
As you can see, I didn’t get a typical Erica long-winded post up at the crack of dawn. That’s because I’m Coughy McCougherson and am not doing much of anything. 
Be back as soon as I can…

Flying Home!
Due to a two-flight + layover situation and the time zone joy that comes with changing coasts, you will not see me online much today. But I will be back bright & early tomorrow!

Don’t let me be lonely!
Come visit me at Romantic Inks where I dish about an ah-ha moment I got on a 757, and how it’s helping me pump up the action when writing scenes.

More Pics!
Tonight, Lace is driving down from Seattle to Portland, and she and Darc and I are going on the Portland Underground Walking Tour.
YOUR TURN: Whatcha got going on this weekend? Are you a fan of walking tours? I’d love to hear about the best ones you’ve been on. Oh, and of course–feel free to snark captions for the photoage. *g

Shenanigans!
No photos (because I’m STUPID and left my camera in my purse all night) but tonight I got to hang out with my pals Maven Darc, Kendra, and Stephanie Rowe (the latter of which you may recognize as being *all over* my Read in 2007 list.) Sooo much fun! Hanging out with other writers rocks!!!

P.S.
Missed you, Kerry B!
