opening that first editorial letter in your inbox is like being delivered a ticking package. how bad is it going to be? can you handle it? should you fortify yourself with something first?

my post on what to expect, from the very cool lucky 13s blog.

writer edan lepucki’s reasons why she decided not to self-publish. and writer kirsten hubbard on why authors disappear from ya highway.

and i know it’s totally not economical, but i’ve been using my tassimo machine for plain old coffee. caffeine has been essential around here lately…novel numero deux done and on its way into my agent’s hands. we’ll see how it goes from here. wish me luck.

6 weeks of pvr’ed shows to catch up on. not sure if i’m more excited or drained at the thought.

random: listening to bruno mars’s it will rain. reading nigel slater’s toast. eating everything trader joe’s, especially their peanut butter filled pretzels. enjoying/tolerating visit from sister (jk).
