I want a Veranda

I'm not even entirely sure what one is (some sort of outside porchy thing, not quite sure why it's not just a porch) but I want one. The weather's been nice, and my life has been...not nice for the last week and it's a new month and...

So. March goals. 

Yeah, that's enough about those.

In April I solemnly swear I will continue the blogging, and I'm doing Camp Nano at least this first pass so there will be little word counts chilling at the bottom of my blog posts.

I'm going to read Whose Body by Dorthy Sayers, and re-read Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs.

I'm going to torture myself attempting to make this blanket thing I decided to do for my father.

I'm going to finish editing Watcher, in hopes of finding it a home next month.

I think I may have to reward myself with something as I move along, because clearly my normal habits aren't working this year. Oh well, you live and you learn.
Word Count--3015
Feeling: restless

Now you're making me want to re-read <i>Murder Must Advertise</i>. Must... resist... re-reading.

Sitting on a veranda with some iced tea and a rocking chair is sounding very appealing right now. Must say something about the pace of the year so far.

According to People Who Know (aka Yahoo Answers) a verandah is more live-in able... a mix of a porch and a balcony. *shrug* I used to always get it mixed up with gazebo, yeah, I don't know either...

Anyway, GOALS! Excellent ones! Rewards would be good! We should go for fancy dinner or something... If I finish editing this book (WHEN I FINISH) I will buy the drinks! <3

    There's a link to my bio at the top of the page, but for these purposes it's probably best to just say I'm strange.
