Moving on to important things ... like New Moon
17 March 2010
Phew. Finally, finally, finally got my writing deadline behind me. I was working on page proofs for So Over It, which are the designed pages. I always loooove the day they arrive and I get my first peeks at how the book is actually going to look. And then two weeks later, when I’ve read through them twice and thought to myself about 100 times, “_Why_ did I write it this way?”, I’m ready to turn them back into my editor and put them away in a drawer. It doesn’t help that I battled a cold this time, plus had some seriously droopy pregnant days where I crashed for a nap as soon as my toddler did.
But they’re done and turned in, and I can now focus on other things. Like laundry. And cleaning bathrooms. And counting down until Friday, when New Moon comes out on DVD. How obsessive is it okay for me to be at age 26? Because if I was 16 and had friends who were into Twlight, I would totally be at Walmart at midnight. At my age, and in my pregnant state, that doesn’t sound quite as appealing. I need McKenna to hurry up and grow into a teen so I can “have” to chaperone events like this.
So I won’t own it at midnight on Friday … and I’m not even sure I’ll own it on Friday, although the best sales always happen the first week it’s out. Hmm. These are tough calls to make.
What was the last thing you absolutely had to have the day it released? Or have you always been one of those old soul types who thought all that was nonsense? (If so, Bella would totally approve.)
Mine was the last Muse CD, which has turned into my daughter’s favorite album. Actually, she’d be fine if the only thing we listened to was the first song, which she refers to as, “McKenna’s guitars.” As in, “Need McKenna’s guitars, please!”
Have a great St. Patrick’s Day everyone!
I will content myself with trying to rent it right away. =)
And Xoe has songs with “her drums.” =)
