Bits of Randomness

With the transition from spring to summer, which includes the end of the school year (of course), I find that I'm tying up loose ends. I've just finished up my last week of school visits, Skype visits, and bookstore visits. Happy dancing time. That's not to imply that I didn't enjoy these events. They were all big fun and I met lots of amazing and wonderful people. However, I'm itching to write, revise, crawl into my office and lock the door against any and all distractions. My head tells me I must promote and get out into the world with my novels, but often my heart nags me to write the next novel. It's an ongoing battle. Errr, should I admit that?

Anyway, I have a couple bits of random information to share. For example, I've

added a "News" page to my website. It will show updates on events and novels and stuff—whatever "stuff" means. Here's the link: http://cynthiawillis.com/newsletter.html Of course, my timing on this isn't great given that I've just finished a whirlwind few months of events, but I'm happy to have this bulletin board page.

Next up, I want to offer up a big thank you to Susan Fields http://susanfieldswriter.blogspot.com/ for the Irresistibly Sweet Blog Award. This requires that I list seven random facts about myself. Here goes: I love socializing, but I really hate rudeness. I love music, but couldn't hold a note if it had a handle. I love horses and horseback riding, but I haven't been on a horse in years. And for me, a perfect day always includes some sort of reading and writing.

Finally, and especially for you writers out there, here's a great article about a six-year-old girl pursuing her publishing dreams. Yup, six-years old. Wow: http://www.mycentraljersey.com/article/20110618/NJBIZ/306180016/Children-pursue-their-publishing-dreams

Okay, those are my random updates. Do you have any random bits of information and "stuff" to share?
