Fact: I'm exhausted! My husband's campaign is fun and informative, but something has gotta give. So, it's blogging.
I'll be back after the election, but will keep you posted, if there's any big book news.
So long, friends!

They're Awesome Thursday
Shout out this week goes to writer "experts"...people who are writers and have a wealth of knowledge about certain subjects...knowledge they're willing to share with other writers.
Often a group of writers will form...I've seen this on the blogosphere a lot...the group learns how its members write and what each member can offer the group as a whole. In a MFA group I Facebook with, someone just asked a weapon question and several people chimed in with their take.
Writer experts = cool. Are you an expert about anything? (beware, I may bug you with questions)

What Up Wednesday
This hill is called the Manitou Incline. It's an old railroad track located near my home...it's very steep, very high, very long. Last week it became legal to climb the thing, so Husband and I are planning a trip. That's what's (way) up with me...how goes things for you (and somebody please answer so I don't feel stupid)? :)

Tip Tuesday
Raised eyebrows, throats clearing, nodding heads, beating chests. Oh my goodness...you really got to keep track of how many times you include these things in your manuscript, otherwise your characters will constantly perform a weird sort of Expressions Dance...one that involves way too many winks, shuffled feet and shrugs. Mine tend to sigh, poor things.
Keep track, people. Keep track. :)
Keep track, people. Keep track. :)

Madness Monday
So tonight I'm going to book club and I'm pretty sure I read the book a long time ago, but I'm not 100% sure. Madness! I'll have to Google the title, maybe read the sample pages on Amazon. Hopefully, it'll all come back to me. Has this ever happened to you?!
