My Ramble About "The Heroes of Olympus"

As some of you may know, I have been reading the first and second Percy Jackson series for a while now. I'm half-way through "The Heroes of Olympus" (second series) book two, "The Son of Neptune". Apparently, only book three, "The Mark of Athena", has been published so far. I'm sort of reading this book slowly so that I can savor all of it and not have to wait a millenia for Rick Riordan to write and publish book four... but I can't help but read fast! I'm loving that the second series is showing more of the Roman side of Greek/Roman mythology, and I'm loving all of the new characters that Riordan is introducing (who doesn't love slightly pyromaniacal characters?). And the new prophecy plotline/major-giant-battle-that's-looming-ahead is making me all excited too...

*Facepalms*

I think I'm just so used to reading old book series in which all of the books have been published for years.

Silly Jen.

Well, now that my ramble about books is over, I have one last thing to say.

May the Force be with you.

In Which Jen Draws a Picture

Hello everyone! Today has been a day of epic accomplishment for yours truly. I copied down a story I wrote yesterday into my fiction journal, I did some outlining for my book, I wrote a silly Star Trek story because today is my second anniversary of writing silly Star Trek stories, and I drew... dun dun dun... a picture (and I'm pretty sure it didn't suck)!
Yay!!! So, that has been one of my most memorable accomplishes of the day. I hope you like it!
Ah, and by the way, I did get internet help for the body shape, eyes, and hair. The outfit is of my own design, though! Aaand the hair didn't turn out exactly as it should have, so that's kind of my own design too.
