Doh!


In celebration of the release of "Pirates Booty", Shelli Stevens is having a treasure hunt today. It starts on her website http://shellistevens.com. Since you all know I love Shelli, it's no surprise that I'd plug her book. She's a fabulous writer and we'll be seeing a lot of her.

In some disappointing news, Love, Lusts and Other Oddities is closing up it's cyberspace shop. LLOO was a blog for Cobblestone authors that I enjoyed visiting. I'll miss the blog, even though I know all the authors will be on other blogs. Thanks for giving us some great blogs, guys. We'll miss you.

Here's some interesting news. I've gone on the website for the agent I queried and read the information several times, especially when the 30 day mark passed. For days I couldn't find any "how long" information. LOL. I'm just blind. There it was (and probably ALWAYS was), "Please allow eight weeks plus mailing time for our response." LOL. I'm such a dork. I really want a picture of Homer Simpson saying "DOH!". Shelli's cover is much prettier. So, I sent my query and first ten pages on May 26th. Oh, and mail up here is sllllllooooooowwwww. It could be another three weeks before I hear anything. Anyway, that means I won't be whining near as much about the wait time.
Lots of changes at home. Joe may be going to Redding (about three hours east of here) to work. But you all know how work stuff goes with him. We just never know. I've adopted a 17 year old, Corrie, and she's living here now. My kids have turned up the "I'm going to be obnoxious" dial and I'm stressing. Did I mention that I started smoking again? *Sigh* this is an ongoing battle. Not looking for comments. I hear them ALL from my husband and my mother. Michelle, bless her heart, keeps her mouth closed about it. Was that snarky? I'm kind of defensive about it.
I mention the smoking 'cause I'm going to Mom's next week. I either have to sneak smokes or brazen it out and take it in the shorts. I still don't know what I'm going to do. Pathetic isn't it?
OK, sorry this was so long. Here's the question of the day. Who is your favorite character that you've written? And why? Did you base it on reality? Or a fantasy?
BTW, sorry about the BOLD. I'm having issues with Blogger and I've decided to surrender. Terms to be announced. LOL.
