10. Geffrey Shaner
Today's list of ten random names. brought to you by my new favorite random name generator. Bring any characters to mind? I'd love to meet Millicent Moonshower, although I doubt that's her real name. I've already used Geoffrey, so I don't think I could create a Geffrey. And I seriously doubt I could have a character with a rhyming name. Imagine away. Create a new fictitious friend.

Warning - spoiler alert!!
But since my wide readership of two has already read the series, I don't think I'll actually be spoiling anything for anyone...
So -
book 1 - introduce supernaturals: but mostly vampire story w/ good and bad vampires. werewolves allowed to go by wayside until -- BAM!
book 2 - reminder that werewolves had been mentioned: wolf vs. all vampires, good vs. evil vampire battle continues.
book 3 - good vampires & wolves vs. evil vampires? evil vampires & wolves vs. good vampires? each group for itself? I really hope it's the first of these. I'd hate for her to create an alliance between the evil vampires and the wolves. She's set it up such that the chances of this are slim to none, but it is fiction and anything can happen.
If I manage to finish Eclipse before the end of March, it will only have been a four-book month, but I would still be at 27 for the three months, which isn't far off the ten-books-per-month goal to get my hundred for the year. Yes, I know there are twelve months in the year, but November and December are pretty full. :)

Edward/Spike/Cedric...
So, I finished Twilight on Monday and started New Moon last night. How I'm sitting here writing this and not reading, I do not know.
Edward is a preppier Spike, in my head. Not the dark, brooding Spike, but the I'm-tortured-by-my-love-for-Buffy Spike - the one at the end of the musical. I'm not sure if Cedric will look good as a blonde, but his face is pretty enough to be Edward. It will be interesting.
Oh - and my neice and I have started our brainstorming for ScriptFrenzy via a Google doc. I wish there was a way to set up notifications after the co-author edits the document.

readin', readin', readin' & writin' stuff
Started reading Twilight by Stephenie Meyer. I know, I know... it's taken me way too long to jump on this wagon. Fortunately, the wagon is still in town. It has a bumper sticker that says, "I'd rather be reading Twilight".
About to start reading 15 novels from the 2006 NaNoWriMo extravaganza. Need excerpts for my article. At least now, I have a reason for reading 15 novels, thanks to my writing group. Writing groups are good. I highly recommend them.
Need to get back to the library. I have six overdue books - none of them starring Stephanie Plum. I finished book ten. I have three more to go before I join the ranks of those eagerly on edge for the next installment.
About to venture into NaNoWriMo's ScriptFrenzy with a neice o' mine.
I've never tried to write a script before. And other than writing a grant application page or two, I've never really co-authored anything before. This should be a frenzy of adventure. ScriptFrenzy is April 1-30. Why can't the good folks at the Office of Letters and Light pick months with 31 days??? Really? Would an extra 24 hours hurt anyone? An optimist would say, "Good thing neither of them are in February!" A mathemetician would say that it's the law of averages or something... A writer would say, "...." (Nothing because it's not April yet. We don't cheat. We may pad the word count, but we don't cheat.)
Check this out:

There are also some links to free downloads - and one very expensive one - for script writing software. We're not sure how we're going to write this thing, collaboratively. Google docs was my first choice. I'll let my co-author investigate the options and decide. She has a little more free time on her hands than I do. Even if we don't do this, it's cool to know that it's out there!
