A blog for those who like to read and do things different. (And yes, I fully realize "different" is grammatically incorrect. Kinda the point, right? ;-) )

I'm so excited about an interview I recently did with Little Willow, book blogger extraordinaire! Please, hop on over and take a look! One thing that I really enjoyed about this experience was how thoughtful Little Willow's questions were. And hey, check out some of the other authors she's been rubbing elbows with. Not shabby company, eh? :-)

So if you scroll down a bit, you'll see that the main character of my work-in-progress, Hope, has been giving me FITS. I mean, the girl was downright nasty. Well, I'm happy to report that I've undertaken a major overhaul of this story, and she is now a rather pleasant person to spend time with! It's a good thing, too - after all, I take time away from my family to write. When Hope was buggin', I began to question why I was doing this. I'd walk away from the story feeling bitter and short-changed, like I was covering for a lazy co-worker. These feelings are difficult to relay to a 16-month-old: "Sorry Mommy's cranky, sweetie. The people who live in my head aren't playing nice."

Here it is, mid-April, and I have yet to give some major shout-outs to my fabulous classmates in the Class of 2k8. If you'll scroll down to the "Class of 2k8" entry below, you'll see all the folks who are in this marketing group with me, and their wonderful books, too. And of course, you can always hop over to the Class's blog: www.classof2k8.blogspot.com.
I believe myself to be the only person in America who is inconvenienced by the fact that Gossip Girl and Antiques Roadshow air at the same time...
It's official, y'all: I have a review! A real, live person (who isn't my editor, my mother or my husband) has read my book and wanted to comment on it! Gaaaaaa! Click here to read the full review.
I've been lax in posting lately due to, well, my life. :-) It's tax season, after all. I am *not* known for my organizational prowess. Doing my taxes takes me the better part of a week of evenings. Lax and tax rhyme... coincidence?
