because more snow is on the way. Another 10-20" expected on top of our thirty. So we hit the library and got Inglorious Basterds and Zombieland and some music and a book. Then I came home and got a wild hair up my ass, as the saying goes, and organized my whole big wooden organizer that is chock full of...well, everything! Household stuff, work stuff for the man, school stuff, writing stuff. Two hours it took but I am done and I am organized.
My latest book went off to my editor yesterday. Fingers, toes, eyes (but never legs!) crossed. Wish me luck!

The girl child made a pie (and a big ass mess) and it's in the oven. The man is trying to knock down all the lethal icicles before the next storm comes and the boy child...well, he is staring at the X-Box Live and drooling (we're on day five now. all brain cells have stopped functioning except the ones that control his controller fingers). I am about to go write on the latest book set at Christmas time. And those biceps are involved. Mmm. Biceps. But if you must know I am really a forearms girl myself!
Also, I just have to say this. I get a request a day or more for advice, input or help. Even people who ask me to read for them on occasion. I try to field them all. Hell, I do field them all, actually. And I have to say, 80% of the folks never come back and say thank you. That floors me. And it bugs the shit out of me to be blunt. Which I can be because it is my blog. People, if you ask someone for help and they help you (in general, not just in writerland), remember what your momma taught you and simply say thanks. It will greatly increase your odds of getting help again the next time you need it. Food for thought.
Love and hugs and more snow coming!

Oh!
That's rude. :(
I've said thank you, haven't I??
(just making sure...;) )
You rock, Sommer. I think I need to hire you to kick everyone here in the arse!
nope. not you. LOL. I knew you'd be the first to think so even though you say thanks a kajillion times for one little thing. you are over thanking to make up for thanking neglect! X-D

Mmm, arms.
The nice thing about forearms is that there's usually biceps attached.
It works the other way round too :)
Hmm. YOu make a very good point, Jo, Never thought about it that way. You're a genius!

Oh, that's so true, isn't it? That frustrates me to no end. The truth is, I want to help people, I love teaching and supporting people... but then the selfish jerks come along and they make me grumpy that I gave up my precious writing time to assist. :( Blech.
PS -- my word is blediva. hm.
sg, i too am a blediva. X-D
that spastic was me by the way! LOL!
Eek! I hope you're not talking about me! I said thank you, didn't I? Yes?
No, ma'am. Not you either. Like Scarlett, you thanked me too much! LOL. I did not know anyone was paying enough attention to create quite a stir. lol
