My Lips Are Sealed

Do you Minions ever catch Rosanne reruns? Well, there's one episode in particular I want you to think about. It's the one where Dan moved Darlene into the basement to keep she and Becky from fighting, but then Darlene says that it's cold down there. Rosanne, this entire episode, has been trying to give up control of the household and let Dan make some decisions. Well, when Darlene asks if she thinks it's a good idea for her to move back with Becky, Rosanne all but hyperventilates and says in a shrieking, panicky voice, "I'm just over here breathing with Aunt Jackie!"

That, my Minions, is exactly how I feel about my career lately. I'm just over here breathing. I can't say a word to any of you about the wonderful, wonderful things that are happening right now (and there are a few different squee-worthy items), because...well, because I'm not supposed to. So I'm just over here breathing with Aunt Jackie. (Which, if you know how much I adore Jackie Kessler...is really funny)

On the Vlad front: I'm almost finished with the revisions of NINTH GRADE SUCKS--yay!!!
On the Devon front: My fabulous agent has agreed that a synopsis is the way to go (rather than the dreaded outline), so...I may be on submission soon--double yay!!!
On the contest front: three weeks left, so enter!!!
And on the blog front: Yikes. I've been a terrible blogger lately. A word of warning, I'm dropping this down to a once-a-week kinda blog, just to allow myself time to put some serious work into Vlad and Devon. (and yes, I still love you--you're my favorite Minion! Shh..don't tell the others...)

And that's it, folks...I'm getting back to work on DEVON'S PLAYGROUND...and breathing.
