I meant to finish my novel last night. Final section of the final chapter, woo! But something unexpected happen.

Turning off the off ramp yesterday to go home from work I saw in the Best Buy parking lot a bunch of LotRs stuff. And I was intrigued. I walked down later to the Best Buy and was all "Sup?"

Theonering.net was having a midnight release party for the Lord of the Rings movies on Blueray. There's going to be a signing at midnight. Would you like a wrist band?

"Um... okay?"

So, instead of finishing off the novel, I went down to the Best Buy parking lot around ten-ish and hung out watching the trivia contest and the costume contest. First prize was a VIP trip for two to New Zealand and WETA. A girl dressed up as a balrog showgirl one. It was judged by Sir Richard Taylor on Skype.

I got my Really Nice Lord of the Rings book signed by John Noble (Denethor) and Sala Baker (Sauron).

As I'm still before my self imposed deadline, I think this is a worthwhile excursion and procrastination, except the whole now I'm asleep at work part.


Though I have to admit, I'm a bit nervous about finishing off the novel. It'll be done and then what will I do?

And there was a crying out from the mass, We want more.

So the writer, souped up on Ice Tea, lack of Medication and a good cold, wrote. The words came to her.

The story evolved.

And the mass will wonder... What the hell was she channeling?
