Dear Asstahat

I saw your little note today at the end of A Kiss Before Dying when doing my morning rounds to make sure I didn't need to send notices out to have my story removed:

i feel so guilty JA Saare just send me a message she's having a contest on her website about winning a copy of her book (A Kiss Before Dying) i don't know what to feel right now i feel so lost.

That wasn't me, asstahat. Unless you're referring to the message I sent you two weeks ago when I also thanked you for stealing from my children's Christmas this year. In any event, I've stopped giving copies of my story away. Why should I? You seem to have that covered... don't you?

Have a nice day, be sure to say hi to the front of a bus for me.

Sometimes, You Just Gotta...

I can't say much, as I'm not sure what will happen. But today, I've been forced to take a stand for the sake my work (and of my "voice"). It's not easy, and I'm sure I might come across a bit of a bitch for refusing to budge, but sometimes...you just have to know when to say no. Right? I'm not talking about the necessary changes (we all know we need those). I'm talking about when it stops being "your" work and becomes the work someone else wants?

Question for all my writing buds out there - have you ever been asked to significantly revise your work? Did it involve big things (characters, names, places, slang, terminology, tongue in cheek references)? What about the voice and style of the character? How did you handle it?

Busy Day

Today is always a busy one in our home. Every year we go to the tree farm, cut a tree, drink hot chocolate, come home, and put the bad-boy up. Normally, the children go for something simple and understated. Like a 5-6 foot Virginia Pine. This year, they still chose the Pine...but good lord, it's an 8 foot monster!

After trying to dissuade them, we cut the sucker and brought it home. Not only was it difficult to put up, but decorating it was torture. It's beautiful, but I'm whooped!

Tomorrow, we start on the decorations. The goal is to have everything set for December 1st. We love Christmas here. It's definitely one of our favorite holidays.

I hope everyone enjoys their weekend! ;)

Black Friday at the Death Star

Just say no, people. Just say NO.

Happy Thanksgiving! ;) Time for me to start the bird!
