Bingo!

I went to bingo on my birthday and won ten whole british pounds. It was quite exciting.

I got lots of nice goodies )a new watch, a ring, some wine, lost in Translation on DVD, and a packet of pistachio nuts (?) as presents, oh and a jolly roger baseball cap. Not really my thing but it'll come in handy on holiday nest week.

Tom's having a little party for me tonight at his house, I mean little because currently there are three of us going, two of them being Tom and I. Maybe we'll buy a beer keg and then get gatecrashed by jocks and cheerleaders... or not.

I'm taking myself to Burnham library today in order to get some peace and do some work on Chapter 4. I gave Gideon the first three chapters to look at and am nowwondering wether I really want the beloved giving me feedback. He'll probably say my dialogue sucks (like last time) and that it's only a "first draft". B wrote back to me after reading it and said "Great! Get thee to a publisher!". That's the encouragement I need.

Meanwhile though I'm building up a big mythology in my head for the next three books I'm planning. It's all a bit goth-steampunk with some Lovecraft thrown in. Opium, choas magick and a bit of romance (but in a ,like, totally tragic way). Call it a fin de siecle X-Files. Problem is I start thinking about it when I'm doing the Rhyme book and it could all get messy if I don't concentrate.
