It's the End of the Year as I Know it...and I Feel Fine
I've been thinking about how to write a post about the end of this wild and crazy year for a while now. And then I ran across this interview with David Lynch.
He said,
"There is that expression, 'Man has control of action alone, never the fruit of the action.' So you better enjoy the doing of a thing and not worry about the outcome."
And I realized: that sums it up perfectly.
I spent almost two years anticipating 2012: the year my debut book was published. And now that it has come and gone I can...

It's Time for Another Geek-Off!
Friends, Romans, countrymen. Lend me your [Spock] ears.
It's time for another round of my favorite contest: The Geek-Off!
How does it work? Simple. Just comment on this post (or tweet at me) with your submission for what makes you worthy of being called the winner of the Geek-Off. It could be an object, an experience, an alien abduction...whatever you think will get you the highly coveted title.
As an example, previous winners include:
The owner of this Bat Symbol-engraved wedding band.

Bouncing Back
Well, hello there. I know what you're probably thinking:
Who is this and why have I landed on this page?
It's true that for the past couple of months I've been a terrible blogger. So once upon a time you may have followed my blog and then forgotten all about me. And now you're probably all like...Sarve-what?
I was going through some stuff and I was taking a break from writing. I was actually taking a break from authorship too, hence the blog hiatus.
I'm still on a break from writing but the good...

Waiting on April
It's almost two years to the day that I got an offer on my debut novel. Not long after I found out about that offer, I found out the release date: April 2012.
Somehow I had to find a way to make it from September 2010 to April 2012. Honestly, even though logic dictated otherwise, there were many times when it seemed like that month was never. going. to. happen.
Alas, logic did somehow win out over my irrational impatience and April 2012 did, in fact, finally get here.
I got engaged in December...

Where the Heck Have I Been?
The short answer to that is probably at a wedding.
I did attend three of them within two weeks this month (and I actually have 11 to go to this year, no joke). Two of them required weekend-long travel; one of them I was in; and, for the record, all of them were a good time.
The existential answer to that title question definitely involves some soul-searching, some metaphorical long walks on the beach, and an attempt to figure out not only where I've been, but where the heck I'm going.

TV I Love: The Olympics
I am not a sports person. I'm uncoordinated and slow, so I don't enjoy playing them. And I really have about zero interest in ever watching them.
With one very big exception: the Olympics. Like most of the world, I loooooove the Olympics and will spend every two years glued to my television for two weeks going: Archery? Hit that target! Curling? Look at those brooms go! Swimming? Yes, let's have more poolside interviews with lovely, shirtless men, thank you.
In all seriousness though, I know ex...
