A Guest Post, an Interview, and Spray Cheese

Seriously. Pixie Stix would’ve been a far smarter choice to facilitate writing. Or alcohol.

I think I may be cracking under the pressure. Monster in My Closet comes out in a few days, and that’s pretty damn exciting. I’m not quite finished with all the pieces I need to have for the upcoming weeks of dashing across the Internet leaving breadcrumbs, but I’m almost there. I haven’t even started writing my short story for next week’s Confabulator Cafe, though I do know what the story is about. It should have been finished last week. Book three of the Monster Haven stories is making me into a whiny little bitch who wants to chuck the whole thing and start over. And I have line edits I need to have done before the weekend is over. So, last night, my subconscious responded with a bizarre dream featuring my editor. (Hi, Alison!) In this bizarre scenario, we were working on edits together, I think. Not sure what the hell we were working on, actually, because she was in her kitchen, and I was making excuses. And demands. That’s right. I’m so full of myself in my dreams, I became a diva and demanded my publisher send certain perks  to my home so I can write better. Awake, I can think of a million different things that would be awesome–cupcakes, chocolate,  even one of those nifty edible arrangements with the fruit. No. In my dreams, I demand crackers and two cans of spray cheese. Seriously? I’m not a fan of the spray cheese. Really, I’m not. Definitely cracking from the pressure. Anyway. I promised you two more places to find me today in the great R.L. Naquin scavenger hunt. First up is a guest post on the blog of my fellow Carina Press author, Shelley Munroe. I talk about what it takes to make your dreams come true, and you can find it here: A Dream Is a Wish. I went all Disney on you, so brace yourself. And second, the lovely folks at Here Be Magic, where you can find all the Carina Press fantasy/sci fi/paranormal/steampunk authors hanging out, did an interview with me. I’ll be back Monday. Oh, you bet I will. That’s THE DAY. I’ll be here to tell you if waking up as a published author feels any different than being regular old me. Or something. See you real soon!
