Yaaaaawn.

Late night RP has really done a number on my sleep cycles. Even though I forced myself to be in the bed by ten o'clock last night, I didn't really fall asleep until after midnight. Still, I'm going to have to make an effort to get myself back to bed at reasonable hours, so that my body relearns the joys of eight hours of sleep.

ETA: Ooooh. Apparently, the next (dear god there are TWO??) Talia Gryphon book, 'Key to Conspiracy', is out. I find myself torn. On one hand, the first book was utterly, laughably awful, and I really don't want to give anyone money for it. On the other hand, the potential for the luls is immense, and there's a train wreck quality to anything that horrific. I cannot decide whether to spend the money for the entertainment value or not.

...wow. And this was actually put out by a legit publisher?

Yep. Ace Publishing. And, apparently, had enough copies to warrant a sequel!

So...anyone who was having fears of never being able to be a 'real, published writer'? Look upon this work, and have good cheer: you can't POSSIBLY be worse.

I feel rather less bad about the endless cliches of the Sien story when I hear about things like this. If also rather more dubious about the sense of the editors reviewing submitted manuscripts.

On the other hand, if that sells, it makes sense for them to buy it. Sadly.
