OMG

I FINISHED MY BOOK.

NOT KIDDING.

FINISHED!

FINISHED!

FINISHED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As in, the only thing left is revisions. Don't rain on my parade by telling me how extensive revisions can be, because I already know, but LISTEN TO ME I AM FINISHED FINISHED FINISHED FINISHED FINISHED.

This is the first book I have ever written of which I am truly proud. It's taken three years of work. I can't believe it's done! AAAAAH it's FINISHED!

Who's Reading?

I'm sitting here watching my taped Sunday tennis match of Roger Federer vs. Radek Stepanek (GO ROGER!!), but I'm only halfway paying attention because I'm wondering who reads my blog. I know I've picked up a few new readers from FWJ (thanks, guys!), and I want to hear from all of you!

So if you're here, let me know who you are and how I can keep you here. No matter where you came from, I want to know more about you and what you're interested in. Tell me about yourself. Hopefully, we can find something in common, and I can post at least every so often on a topic that each of you find interesting.

What would keep you reading? Do you want wit? Personality? Vibrance? Good looks? Ah, yes, obviously I can provide all of that... but what else? Posts about freelance writing? About writing for children? Would you like giveaways and contests? Good discussion? Your wish is my command, so start wishing!

Welcome to FWJ Readers!

Hey, everybody from FWJ! I'm traveling today, but just in case Deb makes the announcement of the FWJ winner while I'm somewhere in transit, I wanted to leave a welcoming message for all of you (especially Roberta ;o).

Every single one of you is welcome to visit me here anytime--in fact, you guys are the reason I created this blog. In the upcoming weeks and days, you can look forward to regular updates, a link to my resume and writing credits, and a more narrowed focus of posts on writing.

Congratulations to the FWJ Idol winner, and I'm ecstatic to have (I hope) picked up some fans in the process. I miss you guys, so I hope you'll hang out here sometimes!
