Five Things on a Friday

"It's you, Milo!"

1. LiveJournal has been having problems due to a hacker.  So that's why it's been quiet around here. 

2.  So You Think You Can Dance is having a great season!  Sasha and Melanie are my two favorite dancers, but I really loved Lady Gaga as a judge this week. 

3.  My author copies for Happy Birthday, Hamster arrived yesterday. And they've come just in time! I wanted to make a book donation at my event next week with "Bess the Book Bus" (she gives free books to children), and I can give her some of these copies to put on the bus.   

Here's a video about how Bess the Book Bus was awarded a Citgo Grant this past year.



4.  Apparently this is a bad year for allergies, because I'm really fighting mine. 



 19 / 25 chapters. 76% done!


5.  The end is in sight.  In early July, I started over on my new novel, because I needed to make it simpler. I tend to take on too much.

But now I'm over 3/4 of the way through the draft.  I'm near the climax of the book, so I'm walking around with a sense of panic, but it's not really mine--it's the emotions of the book.  I have to keep reminding myself of that!
