Hope everyone had a drama-free Thanksgiving. The most exciting moment of my holiday was wrestling a 23 pound wet turkey and doing unspeakable things to its insides. The turkey was yummy, so my embarrassment, as well as the turkey's, was well worth it.
My pal Mark Henry launched his new website today, so everyone take a gander in that direction and enjoy the hilarity and strangeness that follows. www.markhenry.us You won't regret it. Though it might not be appropriate for anyone under 25 or over 60.
We did a little post holiday word wars today, and I finished my eleven pages before I had to pick up the kids from school, so that's always a positive sign. I actually have this book pretty well plotted out--I know. I'm amazed, too--and I can see the end looming before me. I'm about a hundred pages out, so hopefully I'll type THE END just before Christmas. That's also a good thing about Young Adult novels. They are a heck of a lot shorter than what I usually write.
On a GOOD NEWS note. I just found out today that my manuscript, WHISKEY REBELLION, won first place in the Get Your Stiletto in the Door Contest. HOORAH!!! I took the news gracefully by scarfing down a box of mac n' cheese (the kind with the powdered cheese because that's the best) and then I continued writing. My life is so glamorous. I might even change out of my pajamas at some point today, though it's almost night again, so I might as well leave them on;-)
Anybody have any good news they'd like to share? Actually, what I could really use is a few embarrassing stories. You never know what's going to end up in a book.
