My eyeballs are bleeding.

Okay, not really, but they feel like they could at any moment.

I've been staring at this Word doc for hours now, and I can't seem to finish this story the right way. The story is for a YA Thriller anthology, thanks to ITW (which rocks!) and Penguin (which rocks even more!). The proceeds will go to RIF, which is definitely a cause I believe in. So I wanna make the story worth reading.

But my eyes could bleed at any moment.

Still, I trudge forward...

So that's why the blog is so quiet lately, Minions. Your pressie is on its way. Just give me time.

I know the feeling, I felt it on Friday.

Except, of course, my writing is pretty inferior to yours, what with it being fan fiction mostly.

Perhaps turning on music or getting up and walking around for a bit will help?

oh, auntie, that would be so awesome if your eyes really were bleeding. it would be painful, but it would make a great story to tell all your loyal minions!!!

I have been looking at way too many cynical online artwork lately to like Hot Topic ('posers' they say, but aren't we all a little bit poser?) plus my sister likes it and there is a bunch of stuff there that frightens me there.

My living room is more demonic than Hot Topic. Heck, my bathroom towels are more demonic.

Or are you referring to the Hello Kitty stock? ;)

I'm referring to the Hello Kitty stock, and everything in the store that reminds me of Slipknot. Call me a wuss.

Oh yeah, just in case anyone saw the comment on the other blog post with the Quote Of The Day, Today's is...

"I think I have a paper splinter."

If you didn't, then never mind.

Everyone must decide for themselves what's in and what's out, Minions. Personally, I dig a lot of what Hot Topic has to offer. I also dig what Target has to offer...and Goodwill. Auntie Heather is neither an anarchist or a trend follower. She's just Auntie Heather. ;)

I've been good, AVL, how are you?

nato - Always. ;)

What People Are Saying About 'Eighth Grade Bites'

"A spooky mystery that's funny, gruesome, heartwarming, spellbinding, sad, joyous, surprising and topped off with a tasty blend of blood and chocolate. Yum. What more could you ask for?" ~D.J. MacHale, New York Times-bestselling author of PENDRAGON: JOURNAL OF AN ADVENTURE THROUGH TIME AND SPACE

"'Eighth grade Bites' had me on the edge of my seat. It's a great piece of fiction. It drops you right into the action, grabs you by the throat (pun intended), and won't let go. Vladimir Tod is a truly sympathetic character cursed with an existence not of his own doing, but doing his best to do the right thing. It's part 'Goosebumps' mixed with 'Harry Potter' and a dash – no, a heaping tablespoon – of Stephen King. If you're in eighth grade, or a vampire, or an eighth grade vampire, 'Eighth Grade Bites' is a definite must read!"~Butch Hartman, creator of Nickelodeon's THE FAIRLY ODD PARENTS and DANNY PHANTOM

"Eighth Grade Bites is a terrific vampire tale told with a sharp, middle-school grin. It definitely does not bite!" ~Christopher Moore, author of BLOODSUCKING FIENDS and A DIRTY JOB

"Eighth Grade Bites is a delightful novel filled with dark, biting humor that will appeal to everyone who ever felt they were different. A deft hand at depicting the angst of teen years, Heather Brewer does a wonderful job blending vampire legend with the modern day horror that strikes fear in the heart of so many: the eighth grade."~Katie MacAlister, New York Times-bestselling author of EVEN VAMPIRES GET THE BLUES

"Heather Brewer has invented the most endearing of vampires in Vlad, an eighth grader juggling the woes of adolescence with the decidedly unique difficulties of being a vampire. She perfectly captures the humor and angst of eighth grade, mixed with a nail-biting adventure. Utterly charming and irresistible!" ~Liza Conrad, author of HIGH SCHOOL BITES: THE LUCY CHRONICLES

"This book will fool you. Just when you think you've identified it as a story lit by the cheery glow of a slightly scary jack-o-lantern, it becomes something else -- a tale told by the flickering light of a dying campfire late at night. And the shadows are very dark indeed. A surprising mix of humor and horror." ~Douglas Rees, author of VAMPIRE HIGH

"Fresh and fast-paced, with just the right brew of chills and laughs. I’m looking forward to finding out what happens when Vlad hits Grade Nine." ~Nancy Baker, author of KISS OF THE VAMPIRE

"A fabulous book from a gifted storyteller! I never wanted it to end." ~Gena Showalter, author of OH MY GOTH
