March Fatness Days 17 & 18

Day 17 - Friday

Motivation: ???

Ate: So much candy and crap. I think oatmeal, then Butcher's Son sandwiches, candy I bought while walking aimlessly. Um. *shrug emoji* I honestly was not paying attention.

Moved:  I walked. So much. SO MUCH that my butt hurts. It wasn't even a lot for me, but I was wearing my summer shoes for the first time since I went to Italy and my feet aren't used to them anymore, so I had blisters by about 5 miles in, AND I was still sore just from generally being sore from being active every single day.


Felt: Sore, ready to be home with the cats.

Etc: I feel hugely fat, guys. Like, I'm pretty sure all this exercise is making me fatter. I don't fit into anything and I hate myself.

Gratuitous Cat Picture:
Lucca's expression represents how I feel inside.

Day 18 - Saturday

Motivation: Allllllllllll the pants i have that don't fit.

Ate: homemade latte, tahini-tofu tacos, bread with hummus because I suck.

Moved: Honestly, I have not tried at all today, guys. My blisters from yesterday are bugging me, my hips are sore, and I really don't want to do anything else. The septic tank backed up into the shower today and I owe the government $100 for forgetting to pay a $0.75 toll so I want to hide under the covers and just scream NO anytime someone talks to me.

Felt: See above.

Etc: I drank some wine before posting this, and I want to just finish the bottle.

Gratuitous Cat Picture:
Maxwell bet me I couldn't lose anymore weight and he can already taste his victory wet food
cuz he knows he'll win.

Yesterday was Sunday Check-In! Be sure to check out Leanne's blog for my update, Naomi's update on how she's doing with her #Dechox, and--uh, duh--Leanne's update.

Motivational Quotes are Bullshit

Image
We’ve all seen those quotes tossed around on Facebook or Tumblr or Twitter, those insufferable images made up of some vague and blurry, sepia background image with elegant text over the top.

“Beauty begins the moment you decide to be yourself.”“Get it, girl!”“She believed the could, so she did!”“You are beautiful.”“You get in life what you have the courage to ask for.”“Stay positive!”“Be the girl who’s in love with her own life!”
Don’t they just make you want to vomit? They’re so clearly aimed at other people, people who have a chance at all the things you don’t. Girls who can wear a messy up-do and sweat pants to Starbucks and still get flirted with by the barista. Women who go to bars with friends and end up getting most of their drinks free from admirers. Boys who get, ‘Do you like me?’ notes slipped to them in class. Men who have the luxury of complaining about all the messages they get on OKCupid and how over half of them are from women they’re “just not that into.”

Meanwhile, you…

OUT TODAY: Gut Feeling (An Empathy in the PPNW short)

Image
It's October and I'm celebrating by giving you all a free short! Gwen and Mel are thrown together again, so naturally they bicker and then everything goes to hell.



Gut Feeling Despite how things went last time Gwen helped Mel on a case, she gives into the bribe he offers and agrees to let him drag her through miles of gravestones and gobs of mud on a freezing, stormy night. It's not for nothing, at least: Mel's been hired by a rich couple to locate their stubborn kid and drag him home, even if he kicks and screams the whole way. Mel's a werewolf, after all; he can handle a steel-toe to the gut if it comes to that. It's only after Gwen's fingers are numb and her patience is strained that she realizes Mel may not be the only dangerous creature out there among the tombstones. A cemetery, a necromancer, and the promise of a boatload of cupcakes: Gwen Arthur's about to have a very interesting Halloween.

Cold Feet update + Birthday trip pictures

Image
Well, I obviously didn't make the May 1st deadline for Cold Feet's release. I've instead decided on the 10th (psst, you can pre-order the kindle here!), just so it's still available before I have my author event. I've finished all the edits and now I'm just waiting for the files to be approved and all that.

Other than that, my life's been mostly taken up by hobbling around awkwardly. My birthday was the 20th of April so I took my friend to Germany with me and had a lot of fun right up until I fell down some stairs and sprained my ankle.

Ugh.

It's been two weeks and it still hurts! My foot is still slightly swollen! I still have to hobble and work's been miserable, since part of my job is walking around a lot delivering stuff. Booo.

Other than that, though, Germany was pretty nice. Berlin was your typical big, dirty city, but it had some really amazing history. Munich was lovely, even though two of the four days we were there ended up being holidays …
