Much Goofy Chatting Re: Cats and Bears and Chocolate

Hi all!

I spent the weekend traveling to faraway places for a fantabulous wedding (yay wedding!  YAWN AIRPLANES!), which is why Sunshine’s blog didn’t go up yesterday.  (She has many superpowers, including barking at invisible people, but typing up her own blog isn’t one of them…yet!).  So I’m hoping to post that on Friday instead! 

And it’s also why this blog is short-short-short this week, BUT I am leaving you with something VERY LONG to read, if you have a few hours and feel so inclined:  🙂

Hello everyone!

I am EXTREMELY RELIEVED to report that Seekers Book Five is finished and turned in (whoopee!), so I can be a real person again.  (At least until the editorial notes come back and I have to revise it.)

By Popular Demand: My PW Article (yay!), a Facebook Fan Page, and Tips on Writer’s Block (plus a cameo by Buffy Summers)

Hello lovely people!

I am DROWNING in the manuscript for Seekers Book Five right now, as it is due IMMEDIATELY and I still have a couple more chapters to go (<– being deliberately vague so as not to give my editors heart attacks).  But hey, it’s only midnight.  There’s AGES of writing time left before I have to go to bed.  Right?  😉

Impromptu Saturday Post for Jeopardy Fans! :-)

Oh my goodness, that was silly of me — I completely neglected to update my website before the Jeopardy episode, and now all of a sudden people are looking at it!  Yeep!  Lots of things to run around and fix!  For instance, I have updated my homepage, so now hopefully it’s much more informative and current (although still a little messy, I know).  🙂

Sunshine does not like the Cone of Shame either :-)

First of all, YOU MUST ALL GO SEE UP!  IT IS ONLY THE GREATEST MOVIE IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD!  Or if you don’t entirely agree with that, I think everyone can at least agree that the talking dog is one of the most brilliant character ideas in movie history (along with Dory, the fish with no memory in Finding Nemo, which I love because it’s one of the very few movies where a female character gets to be the most hilarious part of the whole movie) .
