Busy, busy, busy

I should probably update this thing more frequently than I do. It's just that I get busy doing things and the last thing on my mind is my website. I hardly ever update my Facebook page... It's just a lot to think about.

So, since I last created a post, I got a fence in the backyard and have been painting each slat to resemble the spine of a book that I love. Sometimes my friends come over and paint with me. So far, my favorite spines are those found in the Harry Potter series.

When I got tired of painting (it hurts my back, you know, because of how I need to lean in order to complete the lettering), I wrote a book. The idea came to me in a dream. I couldn't get the dream out of my head and I mentioned it to my friend Kristin. She told me to "Write the dream." I told her that the concept was SO WEIRD. She said to do it anyway. So I did.

The rough draft was finished in a week. I've been tweaking it ever since. Now I'm shopping for an agent. This thing is going places. I can feel it. Do I love it more than Just Whistle and Like A Flip Turn? Not necessarily. But it's better. The idea is ridiculous, the characters are absolutely great, and the writing is some of my best. Different, though. This one isn't all about the imagery, and that's sooooo unlike me.

Anyway, you'll have to stay tuned if you wanna find out the new book's plot.
