Winning weekend
This is going to be a quick entry to start the week. I feel like I have one hundred bazillion things to do and not enough hours in which to do them. That’s the bad news. The good news is I had a fantastic, energizing weekend and I am chomping at the bit. The Mexico [...]
Kavanah
I am finally beginning to feel the burn-out that dogged me all summer begin to fade away. This is officially a Good Thing. That balanced life of awareness, intention, hard work, and fun is on the horizon! I am almost through the brainstorming draft of my new YA. This is the fast and dirty draft: [...]
“I don’t want to leave!” the author whined.
I can’t believe this is my last day here. The week flew by. On Thursday I talked to all kinds of kids; elementary, middle and high school. I was going to take a picture of the high school students, but then I got to talking with them and I forgot. Duh.

Book Tour Day 9 Report, Short Version
It is 10:15 pm and I am eating my dinner in my hotel room, preparing to go to bed. Why? Because I have to be up at 3:30am to catch the 4am shuttle for an obscenely early flight that is completely necessary if I am going to make all of my events in Houston tomorrow. [...]
Friday dreaming
One of these days, I gotta go to Japan.
Friday afternoon odds n ends
Bravo! Thank you lost-child2 for taking the time yesterday to explain how the Literature Map works. You can read both of his explanations if you scroll down through yesterday’s comments. My food quirk of the moment? Straight wasabi paste on baby carrots. Do you know about Library Thing? (Thank you mikigarrison for pointing it out. [...]
