Thursday Open House

Filed under: Current Reading, General Ranting, Open House — HDW @ 9:56 am

Random thoughts for the day:

Apparently the word of the week is snow. I only got four or five inches here, but it was enough for several sledding outings so far, and it hasn’t melted yet. Can’t ask for much more than that in Virginia.

Go visit the 18th edition of Carnival of the Creators. Some very creative people have submitted posts. Don’t look for HDW on there anywhere, you won’t find it.

Just finished Prodigal Son. I was actually impressed. I’m a fan of Koontz, so I thought I’d give it a read, but I had pretty low expectations. I figured he’d reworked the original story in some way, and that just didn’t interest me much. I was surprised by the direction he took with the story, and it really worked for me. Of course it’s just part one in a serialized story, but I’ll forgive him that faux pas.

Without further ado, here is the Thursday open house. Open trackbacks and comments as usual, and keep it clean.

  1. Hi HDW! Did you submit something to the carnival? I’m really sorry if I missed it…you can send it to me and even now I can add it! And if you didn’t submit something…don’t you dare miss the next deadline! Your work is beautiful :-)

  3. No submissions from this site. That does sound a little grumpy up there doesn’t it? It wasn’t intended to sound that way. I just don’t normally link to something like this unless I do submit something. I didn’t want people to look for my submission, because… there wasn’t one.
