Thirteen Reasons I Lurrrrrrve Dayna Hart

I had something really clever planned, but I've decided to reveal the true reasons I'm a huge fangirl for
DAYNA HART



1. Awesome CritiquePartner
If there's a comma in a bad place or a plot hole, she'll spot it. She rocks. And she doesn't blow smoke up my ass either.

2. I've Never Heard Her Say "Hon, You Shouldn't Feel That Way"
Nope, not once. She's never said that I shouldn't be insane, but she tells me that I am. Ahhh a true friend.

3 Her Writing Is BRILLIANT
There isn't anyone who writes like her. She manages, with a minimum of words, to convey a mood, an expression. I still remember reading Go Between and being stunned. Just stunned. She's pretty amazing.

4. She Listens to Me. And Listens. And Listens.
I don't know how many of my stellar "plans" she's listened patiently to, but there's been a lot of them. None of them have panned out, but I still have hope. LOL. I don't know if she does.

5. She Is Awake At 5am Pacific Standard Time
Lots of mornings, I'm awake early and my brain (spinning on coffee) will need a little refresher course in sanity. Luckily, she's on Eastern Standard Time. Makes those early morning moments of nuttiness a little more tolerable.

6. Her Husband, Writer Widow
Now, don't get me wrong. He's not my type. He's very tolerant of me, however, and puts up with me. I lurrve him to as I said on May 25th. He rocks.

7. She's Introduced Me To New Authors And Added To My TBR List
She's ranted and raved about Guy Gabriel Kay, Raymond Feist and others that I've checked them out. Her knowledge of quality fantasy writers has added to my pile of books I want to read.

8. She's The Mommy I'd Love To Be
She's so awesome to her kids and somehow manages to give lovins even when it's tough. I want to be her when I grow up.

9. She's The Prude/Perv
Ahhh the best of both worlds. She is neither "A dirty girl" or "Shocked" by anything spewing from my mouth. It's a talent. Maybe it's the way she bats her eyelashes.

10. She Makes Me Laugh
Whether it's little stories about WW or snark about stuff we like to bitch about, she's pretty damn funny and there are days I REALLY need that.

11. She'll Pound Me If I Ever Quit Writing
And frankly, that frightens me. She could kick my ass!

12. She's The Devil's Advocate
Often, I'm a tad unreasonable. Quit laughing!!!! She'll point out little tidbits of wisdom that make me see another side of things.

13. She Lurrrrves Me
If you knew me, you'd know how amazing that truly is. LOL.
