Holy crap, has it been three weeks since I’ve blogged? Twitter really is killing blogging, as a friend of mine (Leah Hodge) was so correct in pointing out.  So I feel like I need to catch up with y’all. What I’ve been doing, what you’ve been doing. All that shit. So I’ve come up with this handy little list (feel free to leave lists of your very own in the comments).

1. Writerin‘: The hyperviolent/uncomfortably sexy screenplay Mario Acevedo and I have been toiling over is finally in the hands of my agent for a read and possibly some notes. So our collective stomach is gurgling with the kind of horror that macerates beef faster than a kitchenaid grinder. You pray that they’ll love your deformed perverted babies, but they don’t always. *sob*

2. Watchin’ Movies: Got some free passes to see Zombieland, which was hilarious and awesome and brilliant (with the most amazing celebrity cameo since . And this past weekend we took in Pandorum with Caitlin and had a blast with that space horror shit. Loved both of them in surprising ways. Last night we managed to not slit our wrists while watching the Ian Curtis biopic Control. Depressing but well acted and beautifully shot. It’s Curtis’s fault the story will drag you down, but the musical bits are genius!

3. More Writerin’: I’ve started working on both ends of the genre fiction spectrum. I’m talking, of course, about YA AND erotica (and not YA erotica, which does not go over well with the carpool, afterschool activity set).  So I sold a couple of stories and one of them is YA from the same world as my novel that’s nearing completion. The problem is, the third Amanda book is–how shall I put this–naughtier than the other two and really created the need for a pseudonym so…now I have one. I’m going to hold off on revealing it just yet, though. Not sure why. Just, gonna.  The erotica project is looking like some HARDCORE fun though. I’ve never written something that was, at its core, a romance, so it’s exciting. I’m co-authoring on this one, so we’ll see what the other person thinks of the opening. Could be a complete bust, you never know. Or maybe it’s pants-stainingly sexy. We’ll see.

4. Gettin’ Interviewed: Sat down with Seattle Geekly for a little chat about zombies, psychotherapy and being a complete burnout. They’ve got an awesome podcast that you can subscribe to on iTunes or at their site. In this episode, you’ll also get to hear Cherie Priest detail her steampunkness!

I think that’s about it. My brain’s hurting from the effort of writing more than 140 characters (thanks twitter) and the only cure for that is some Californication!

What y’all up to?
