A big blog of random (the post deadline edition)

Hi everyone!

As many of you know, I turned in the FIRST draft of Heist Society 3 last week and I've got a few days until I get it back from my editor.

So I've been sleeping.

Seriously.

So much sleeping.

Also, I've been trying to do all the things that seem to fall through the cracks when I have a book to work on.

Like cleaning house.

Doing laundry.

Going to the grocery store.

Cooking for myself (when on deadline I live on takeout--a terribly unhealthy habit)

Working out (to make up for all of that...

Molly Monday!

Molly's Point of View...

(in no particular order)

Ally loves post it notes...a lot. Especially the bright colorful ones. Sometimes I wonder if she is using them for work purposes or just for decorating her office.Whenever she works out Ally likes to listen to Taylor Swift, Pink, and fun girly music.There is a lot of construction going on in Ally's backyard because she is having an amazing pool built...complete with a tanning ledge (I am very jealous). I hope we can do work from the pool this...

New Point Of View!

Hey Everyone!

It's Molly! I just wanted to thank you all for the sweet comments the other day :) You are all pretty awesome as well!

I just wanted to remind you (even though I am sure you remembered!) that today a new POV has been posted at the Gallagher Academy so be sure to go check it out!!

Also tomorrow is Fan Art Friday on Ally's Tumblr . So if you have any art you'd like to submit, you should do it!! allycartercontest@gmail.com

And be sure to check back because a new mission could be...

Happy Post Deadline Day!

Hi everybody!

I'm out of the Deadline Closet (or, more specifically, my favorite booth at Panera Bread) and back among the living for a few days because last night I turned in the very first (and VERY rough) first draft of Heist Society 3 (title & release date TBA).

What does this mean?  Well, my editor will read the book and give me notes on what is--and isn't--working and then I'll do a second draft.  And a third.  And a fourth.  And on and on until the book is ready for the world to see.&nbsp...

Molly Monday!

Hey Everyone,

You all did an excellent job of decoding Thursday's excerpt…it was "Time. I would have gone somewhere to buy time"

I am going to have another mission for you when you least expect it… so be prepared and have your spy skills read at all times.

Once ten missions are solved there may even be a special reward waiting for you ;-)

I know this is silly for me to even remind you of, but don't forget to check out the new POV's at the Gallagher Academy. There is a new one posted this week ...

Mission #7

Hello Gallagher Girls,

I hope you are all ready for another mission! This mission is pretty easy, but it also tests a very important spy skill..langauge. It is a scramble but it is scrambled by words AND different languages. In order to solve it you must first translate the words then unscramble them. It is ten letters long and there is a period after the first word.

Also, don't forget..tomorrow is Fan Art Friday on Ally's Tumblr. So if you h...

Molly Monday!

Hey Everyone!

I am so happy to see that you are all loving the excerpt missions as much as I enjoy making them for you. Because they are SO fun, I am going to post a new mission for you every week until Out of Sight, Out of Time is released in March. They will be posted random...so you have to keep tabs on Ally's blog, which I know you all do anyways! AND the answer to Friday's mission was "Now is not the time for lies, Cammie." which you successfully solved :)

 

On to the next order of...

Mission #6

Congratulations Gallagher Girls!

 

You successfully solved an entire weeks worth of missions! Good work!

Mission #4 was solved onThursday, January 5th at 1:48 PM.  "Everyone comes here when they're lost"

Mission #5 was solved on Thursday, January 5th at 11:35 AM."The least we can do is take her to her father"

 

(Note that these quotes may or MAY NOT be in the next book. AND they also may be skewed or a trick. So think long and hard about them.)

Your mission for this weekend is a binary code. I...
