It May Come as Some Surprise...

By -
...but there are times where I can be quite productive. Take this past weekend. Pal-o-mine/Douche Extraordinaire, Mario Acevedo, showed up at my house and demanded we write a screenplay together. While there's nothing unusual about this occurrence--and, in fact, you might be saying to yourself, 'Damn it, Mario told me I'm the only one he's writing a script with'--it is quite unusual to knock out a first draft in 4 days.

*shines up knuckles*

AND...I'm kinda proud of the estimated 115 page (read minute) finished product...

Here we are busting out either filthy sex, or hyper-violence, hard to tell...

And, YES, that is a copy of Lynn Chancer's Sadomasochism in Everyday Life, thank you very much. My bookcase overfloweth with handy dandy sexuality-related texts.

So, yeah, the rumors are true. There's gonna be an Acevedo/Henry script floating around out there. We don't know what's going to happen with it anymore than you do, but I'll be sure to let you know if something exciting happens. I mean, other than Mario bashing the shit out of it in the revisions...

Which is probably happening right about now.

You know what else? I've got a handy printable shopping list for y'all. 'Cause it's Tuesday, bitches!

I can't even believe how fun that sounds. Possibly more fun in the blog post than in real life, but then again, maybe not.

A screenplay, hmmm that should be interesting (you might want to buy him an inflatable hammer-just in case).
I am please to say that most of those books are already on my shopping list-several I have been waiting patiently for!

Exciting weekend then!?

The Strangely Beautiful Tale of Miss Percy Parker was an amazing read! :) Loved it! And Leanna is sooo nice! :)

Love the shopping list!
This weekend, I read Walking Dead by C.E. Murphy (fantastic), Shiver by Maggie Steifvater (AMAZING) and Dreamfever by Karen Marie Moning (awesome).
And I ran out to the bookstore twice to buy Jeanne Stein's books (won the first in a contest on her site & must read the rest), Blood Promise, Unbound, Rosemary & Rue, and Trick of Light for this week's "get me to the end of summer before I kill the kid" reading marathon. (14 yr olds suck).
I can't find your books anywhere around me (so.east MA) Mark Henry. WTF?!

I only love how he just turned up and demanded to write a screenplay with you.
LOL.
That's love.
I've been busy reading Richelle Mead's Blood Promise. It was pretty epic.

What I did on my weekend by JD:

* Like a good little contest winner, I started to review 'Rosemary and Rue' (You'll get it by the end of the week, I swear!)

* I watched my friends get happily sloshed at a cocktail party. sometimes being the designated driver is really rather fun. My pals + alcohol + fancy frocks = ensuing hilarity for the sober one.

* I enjoyed the sunshine, in short sleeves no less. Where did Winter go? Was it ever here? Did I blink and miss it? Apparently so...

So THAT'S what Mario did this weekend? It's not the story he told around here...his version included a wild weekend of uninhibited sex with twin strippers.

I should have known...

Well, let's see. First I went looking for a gun to shoot myself in the head, but then I remembered I'm not a gun nut and don't keep one so as to keep my homicidal tendencies in check. Then I looked for a power drill to insert fresh hold in attached head, but realized I don't own one because I'm too lazy to work one. And I've got cats and believe in all that organic crap so I don't have any rat poison. That left me with no choice but to drag my reluctant lazy behind to the Kitsap peninsula and pour wine for the masses at charity wine tasting in Bummertown with no financial remuneration for yours truly. At least it's a job you can drink on...

Writing with friends - awesomeness! I can imagine the paper fights that would ensue at my abode... I went sailing this past weekend, and got a little sunburned - but it was peaceful and quiet and hot and wet. LOL

This weekend I actually did a fair amount of nothing, which is the first time in months that I've been able to do that. So, that was pretty exciting. :)

Wouldn't overwhelmed by Were's be more of a Fur Pile?

Watch the list, Mario's used hypno ink within, you will buy, you will buy...

Cleaned house, cooked and watched several episodes of Forever Knight.

Be interesting to see how this script turns out.

Mario really should save the hammer to use on the zombies though. Unless his laptop has suddenly taken a turn and started trying to suck his brains out. Or was he just confused when Mark suggested they get hammered?

Daelith asked: Or was he (Mario) just confused when Mark suggested they get hammered?

Mario is confused most of the time.

THE WRITE PRETENDAS

WE at the League of Reluctant Adults are pissed. Miffed. Put out. Thoroughly riled. We don't often get political, nor do we often get angry. But an angry Leaguer is an UGLY thing. Just look at Mark over there, all snarly with rage. Why are we angry, you ask? BECAUSE WE DIDN'T GET BOYCOTTED. There's this group calling itself "The Write Agenda," who claims to be a bunch of authors looking out for other authors. In reality, we're pretty sure they're a bunch of con artists who got mad at people calling them con artists. Why? Because they attack two of the best friends an author or an aspiring author can ever have: Writer Beware and Absolute Write Water Cooler . Here's John Scalzi's breakdown of what this Write Agenda is, and why they're doing what they're doing. For those not in the know, Writer Beware and Absolute Write Water Cooler are free services that collect information on agents, editors, and publishers. They report on thin

Since I missed my regular posting day--argh!--I'm popping in to steal Kari's day. Well, okay, Kari has a power outage so I'm taking her day, but believe me, I would totally steal it otherwise. And, because I'm just in that kind of mood, I'm going to post an excerpt from the fourth Downside book, SACRIFICIAL MAGIC, which will be released on March 27, 2012. (And wait till you guys see the cover!) The blurb: READING, WRITING, AND RAISING THE DEAD When Chess Putnam is ordered by an infamous crime boss—who also happens to be her drug dealer—to use her powers as a witch to solve a grisly murder involving dark magic, she knows she must rise to the challenge. Adding to the intensity: Chess’s boyfriend, Terrible, doesn’t trust her, and Lex, the son of a rival crime lord, is trying to reignite the sparks between him and Chess. Plus there’s the little matter of Chess’s real job as a ghost hunter for the Church of Real Truth, investigating reports of a haunting

Heeeyyy, everyone! For those who have no clue who I am, I'll keep this short. My name's Dakota Cassidy, and I write fluffy (like lightly whipped fluffy), humorous paranormals for Berkley Sensation. Mark Henry invited me to join the League after I threatened heinous acts of violence against his person, involving my stilettos and an old can of Aqua Net. After much resistance, and the utter ruination of a sassy pair of red pumps, here I am :) In celebration of my forced entry... er, induction to the League--I got booty for ya :) Here's what I'm in for, and this is what ya gotta do--post in the comments section. Just say hello--that's it :) That enters you in the contest for... A signed copy of the second book in my Accidental series,   Accidentally Dead , but that's not it. I'll buy TWO books--winner's choice--written by any of the authors here on the League. That means you could win books by Caitlin Kittredge, Jaye Wells, that meanie-butt Mark Henry, Miche
