A Day Off and Avoiding Spoilers

amberfocusI took a day off from writing today. Slept for part of it, did some car hunting, though we're still pretty sure what vehicle we've settled on. I am still pretty wiped out from this cold, even though I've definitely turned the corner. I just wish it would go away altogether. I hope to get back to my writing tomorrow. It's a game day, though so who knows?
I am really looking forward to the start of Doctor Who. I hope it gets uploaded pretty fast, I do not want to wait until the 18th when it starts on Sci-fi channel here. Especially since it looks like they are starting with Voyage of the Damned which I saw the day after Christmas. I don't see why they can't just air it here the next day after airing it in the U.K. Seems silly to me.
I've been really careful about avoiding spoilers for the last ten days or so. It hasn't been easy, but most people are very good about putting spoiler warnings on things. The ones that have gotten me a couple of times are icon posts that didn't have them. That's a bit frustrating. I've got several ideas in my head over what is going on and I'm hoping that none of them are true. I keep going back and forth between wanting to know and not wanting to know.
I knew about CE leaving DW before I even saw season 1, and that tempered things. I'd much rather have been surprised. I didn't know about Doomsday and I was so glad because it tore my heart out in a way it wouldn't have done if I'd known. So I desperately do not want to know what is going to happen in the finale. And yet at the same time the idea of waiting is also driving me a little spare. I suppose that's fairly normal at this point.
I am really looking forward to seeing Donna, though. I've had so much fun writing her character in the Time Eternal series and I hope she remains similar to how I envisioned her being from just our brief taste in The Runaway Bride. In other words, don't screw her up RTD! *laughs*
The next Vatta's War book came in the mail today and I am looking forward to reading it. Elizabeth Moon is a fabulous author. She writes mostly space military sci-fi with a strong, intelligent female lead and it is wonderful action/adventure and clever plots and I just love it. Kylara Vatta is a wonderful character. Moon has actually superseded Anne McCaffrey as my favorite female author and may just one day knock Greg Bear off his throne of my favorite all time author.
