Oh, if any of you took advantage of the free download of Shatnerquake!, check out More Bizarro Book Titles for Free Download. Most of them appear to be in very poor taste, but you never know.
Also, Amalia The Savage's Letters series heats up a bit with Theseus to Helen, in which she grapples with the characters' relative ages and the attendant squick for modern readers. We're going to try to finish up the series by the end of the month, so the pace will be picking up a bit.
I'm also going to publish things more often, because one or two a day is not keeping up with the massive amounts of wonderful things people have submitted. :)

It's been so much fun seeing the stuff you guys write about! Or, yanno,micehell's Sunday Picspams. *fans self*
I've also found some lovely new things through the ol' flist, like Free Range Kids, which I totally love. Oh! And a very insightful and awesome article with Useful Tips for writing sex scenes, In love as in war by Elizabeth Bear. Right on!
I just want you to know that although I don't always comment, I love hearing about your lives and your families. As I said, you guys make me happy. :)
Went to a birthday party at our new homeschool friends' house. Walked there together, actually. It was great fun. I'm a tad nervous because... well, remember when I said the father of the family was a poet/writer/college professor? Well, he's sending me his novel to read (though he's already sent it to his agent). He said I seemed to fit his target audience, in that I appeared to be "smart enough to understand what [he's] trying to do, but still in touch with what's popular." So I'm a bit nervous that I'll find it pretentious or utterly hate it for some reason, though when he found out that I studied koine Greek, it seemed to confirm his suspicions that I would "get" it. I just hope to goodness that I do like it.
They've invited us to Thanksgiving with them, but I don't know whether we'll be in town. :( The kids are still getting on well.
I missed two days of writing, feeling sick and lost, staring at the pages wondering where I'd gone wrong. I think I've worked it out, so that's great.
Also, I finished Iljimae, and still have no idea what happened in the end. Still, I think I can really appreciate the fact that Korean dramas do not back away from melodrama. *snrk* Lee Jun Ki is so very pretty when he cries.
