Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson
I finished reading “Speak” by Laurie Halse Anderson. When I was in high school, I attended an author visit at the library. I have also read “Fever, 1793” and “Catalyst.”
An Awesome Week…and it got better
This week was already awesome because I finished typing the third draft of my novel and printed it. I spent happy hours rereading and organizing.
But it got so much better.
- I had lunch and The Cookie Jar with my pen pal Whitney from The Letter Project.
- The film Imaginaerum with Nightwish music was available for pre-order. Get your copy here.
- On Kickstarter I found STORY WAR. Use stories in this card game with your friends.
- The anticipation was almost too much between The Lizzie Bennet Diaries episodes this week. Check out Monday’s video and Thursday’s video.
- Today I attended Lunch n’ Learn at Seed Coworking about the X-Ray Visualization of Medical images. I loved seeing the inside of an apple using digital technology.
- I bought a new sketchbook book and pastel paper at Art Supply Depo. And a new pair of tennis shoes.
- When I came home I discovered that The Lizzie Bennet Diaries started a Kickstarter. The YouTube series will be available on DVD.
- And The Hobbit: An Unexpected Adventure and Les Misérables were available on DVD this week.
