1. I had so much fun hanging out with Cindy Lord on Wednesday in Columbia, Missouri. You can see her blog for the details of what we did, but she doesn’t mention the homework she had ... signing a set of books for an entire 5th grade at one elementary school plus scads more she didn’t have time to sign after her four Tuesday sessions. Here she is doing that. (Not all books appear.) Me? I’m just having a good time, sitting in a comfy chair, seeing pre-F&Gs of her forthcoming PB Hot Rod Hamster, and chatting all the while.

 

2. The rewrite panic is over.

 

3. The rewrite panic has been predictably and repeatedly replaced by horror that my words and thoughts have been misinterpreted.

 

4. Horror is much too strong a word ... maybe annoyance (oh, and not directed toward Amazing Editor).

 

5. 167 words cut. Only 12, 333 to go.

I had so much fun spending time with you, Jody. Thanks for coming to my library visit, too. It meant a lot to me to have you there.

I'm already really looking forward to seeing you again in October!
