Revisions vs. Fairies
UGH! I am in the middle of revisions. Seriously, I hate revisions more than any other part of the writing process. Some writers like revisions. I don’t understand why. All revising is is being told you have to change something that you thought was perfectly fine just the way it was! I’ve actually heard that […]
Scary Fairies
Today has been insane! (Actually, this whole week and the entirety of next month is going to be insane with all the work I have to do, which I got behind doing when I was away and then I got even more behind doing when I was trying to watch all the Exileds and Gossip […]
What inspires you?
Guess what time of year it is? If you said the time of year when Brach’s releases all their fresh bags of candy corn, then you would be correct! I’m eating mine now. I LOVE IT. Some people (such as those who prefer not to be named in this blog) don’t like candy corn, claiming […]
Me? Distinguished?
So I’m home now recovering from my world tour (more on my re-entry in a later post), but I just want to let you know that I won’t be home for long. I’m going to be taking off soon to accept a really big honor from my college, Indiana University, which is giving me…wait for […]

World Wide Tour Part Six, Singapore and Thailand
Guess where I am? If you guessed the place in the photo below you’d be correct. I’m actually writing this on the last day of my last stop on my world wide book tour! I can’t believe it’s gone by so fast. Well, okay, I can. It was a lot of hard work, though it […]
World Wide Tour Part Five, Johannesburg and Hong Kong
First of all, happy birthday to He Who Shall Not Be Named In This Blog, who will never read this. Yes, it’s my husband’s birthday on October 5, and I’m halfway around the world! I did try calling him but the first time it wasn’t his birthday yet (it wasn’t until twelve hours later in […]
World Wide Tour, Part Four, Sweden, Cape Town, and Johannesburg
I’ve made it all the way to Africa! South Africa, to be exact. Too bad my luggage can’t say the same. My bag and I parted ways in Sweden. Ah, Sweden! What a time we had. Me at the Gothenburg Book Festival in Sweden. Cecily von Zeisegar (who tells incredibly funny stories and is also […]
