X Factor UK - Say Goodbye to Kitty

Well, my worst fears have come true. Kitty was sent home tonight. I guess those cousins of ours didn't care for her as much as I did. But, Craig is my new front runner and hopefully he will be able to perform next week like he did this week.

I was surprised to see Misha B in the bottom two - especially being beat out by the all girl group; they are terrible. Between the two [Misha and Kitti] I really think Misha delivered a better performance vocally. Kitty is quite a performer but there is something - not sure what it is - but something missing there. It doesn't matter now, whatever it is. She's done.

On another note, I'm a die hard, rabid fan of The Walking Dead now. Just finished the newest episode. I keep expecting them to find that little girl, but who knows if they ever will. Next week should be the season finally, unless they had more episodes for season 2. There is something so unnerving about that show. Makes me want to jump out of my skin. I definitely lock my doors at night now so zombies can't eat me when I'm sleeping!

UPDATE: Did some wikipedia surfing. The Walking Dead Season 2 has 13 episodes and we just finished # 11; two more to go. 

Skipped a Day

I managed to knock out 1100+ words this morning and also finished editing a scene with Campbell Shaw in THE PREPARATION. Editing is, by far, the worst part of writing books. I literally hate it most of the time. Going over my writing again and again, even though I know I'm going to miss something, constantly thinking my work is never good enough, knowing full-well someone is going to find an error and use that one error as reason to give me a bad review. I just have to shrug, and throw my hands up in the air. Just keep plugging away at it. Tomorrow is another day. The more I mull it over in my mind, the more I feel my personality and disposition are perfect for a writing career. So I just have to keep editing and not worry about it.

I also have been thinking that SEEKING LIGHT AURORA will end up being a novella, simply because it will be only around 25,000-50,000 words when I'm finished. It's a short/quick story and most of it takes place in one room, or at least 90% of it does. We will see. It will definitely be a $0.99 center on Amazon. I'm pretty excited about it, though. I'm curious to find out what others think.

In other news, at the recommendation of my cousin, I started a new TV series yesterday called The Walking Dead. I saw a preview of it and thought it pretty hokey, but on his insistence, I watched the first episode and ended up downloading a bunch more. It's really good so far. I like zombie movies for the most part, if they are well done. My favorites are: 28 Days Later/28 Weeks Later and Resident Evil 1, 2, 3, 4 [not the cartoon, no thanks]. If you get a chance watch The Walking Dead on AMC. It's great!
