I Love It When A Plan Comes Together

"When you're in black slacks with accentuating, off-white pinstripes-whoa-everything goes according to plan."

My Critique Partner never fails to amaze me. She read Ninth Grade Sucks in a day (is that a good sign? I'm hoping it is, thinking it is, but let's not get ahead of ourselves just yet) and got back to me with some incredible feedback--all of it so dead-on and exactly what Vlad needs. Brilliant, I'm telling you. If I get nothing else out of my writing career, at least I get the pleasure of meeting some really wonderful people. And for that, I'm truly grateful.

So I'm working in her suggestions right now and paying careful attention to the questions she asked. My all-important readers should be reading NGS over the weekend--I hope they enjoy it. And my fabulous agent is on vacation for a week (Yay, Michael!), so when he gets back I'll be sending him the newly-revised-and-looking-fantastic manuscript.

Meanwhile, more requests for Minion Bling have come in (if you want some--yes, you--just email me). I'm beginning to think I might have a handle on what all you minions like. The next group of buttons will have a variety of sayings on them, such as: Eighth Grade Bites, Vampires Suck, Drudge, and Creature of the Night. The last two phrases will be better appreciated once you've read the book.

And you will. And you'll love it.

(I hope, anyway)
