Marie-Claude Bourque ~ Romantically Gothic and Mystical

Of toilet incidents and cool graphics

February1

So strange to be spending a whole week-end mainly cut out from the web (the iPhone made a trip to the toilet –clean toilet– then into a ziploc full of rice for 48 hours). It was impossible to post anything here but I had lots of time to think.

This constant checking email, Twitter, ect does cut into long uninterupted time to think. I can’t say it was productive but I seemed to have rested because today, despite having a cold, I got a lot of stuff done.

Among them was to finalize my bookmark/cards ect with a designer and I am proud to showcase the front of the bookcard here (back will be for tomorrow). These are business card size. Did I mention I think I’m In love with my designer?

I can’t wait to see those on paper!

I wish I could say it was good or enlightening or something like that not to have a phone but I still found ways to be anti-social and neurotic anyway! I read! I’m still on my Georgette Heyer binge.

Yet today I finally wrote the last two scenes I need for my proposal, so onwards to edit tomorrow! If the cold lets me.

We had a wonderful guest today at musetracks. Deborah Schneider made a big writing carreer comeback after years of not writing. Very inspiring.

Blessed Be

    • Steampunk Book List and the return of the tiara giveaway 2010/03/15
      Library Journal put together a list of their top twenty Steampunk books. The great thing about the list is that it’s divided into two parts — “old” and “new.” The “old” list included H.G. Wells and Tim Powers and the “new” list includes Gail Carriger, Cherrie Priest, and The League [...] […]
