Blood's Dripping from My Windows

It's that time of year again.

I can't believe I let the 1st of October come and go without dragging out the Samhain (Halloween to all you muggles out there) decorations! But today the house is decorated and looking rather spooky, all for my favorite holiday of the year. We normally put a huge emphasis on the black and gloomy, the spiderwebbed and all things cauldron-related, but this year the windows are even dripping blood and new gargoyles guard our front door. (I really must post a picture of the front door. I'm simply obsessed with its dark beauty)

It's the perfect time of year to write about vampires.

Speaking of which, I only got to cross off one more item on my list, but that means I'm down to four more things to do before I can begin revisions. I'm a planner (Virgo, go figure), so in my planning it looks like I'll be ready to query EGB by February--if Roses doesn't get me an agent. Regardless, that's when Vlad will be ready for the world.

If you've been reading my blog for a while, you've heard me talk about the Backspace Writers Conference. I just made reservations at the Algonquin Hotel for next July. So make yours! It's going to be amazing, informative and fun. The conference is set up to please just about everyone--newbies and seasoned professionals alike. Besides, if they're letting me in, I doubt they'd frown at other crazies coming.

Not that you're crazy...

...well...you are reading my blog...
