And once again, I have delivered a manuscript.
Breathe with me, friends.
Ahhhh.
We shall see what Agent Meredith thinks of it (if she finds it ready to submit to editors), but meanwhile, I can think about other things for a few minutes. Yay! Other things! (See how glad I am?)
Okay. So. Things.
Um, what do normal people think about in June? Oh, I remember. Okay. So yesterday was the last day of school. Summer, bring it on. Anniversary is Monday, and we decided to (wait for it) buy a GIFT for each other. I know. Revolutionary. He knows what it is. I know what it is. But the kids don’t, so I’ll tell you later. And then. We’re looking for a little summertime family getaway. Do you know VRBO? Vacation rental houses. Yes. please.
I’m teaching some writing classes at the local library this summer. Teen Writers’ Classes, June 28th and July 12th – both Thursdays, both 11-2 at the Wasatch County Library in Heber, UT. Also, the librarians don’t want us to wither and die, so … PIZZA. Not kidding. And moms who have asked me about precocious 9 and 10 year olds, HEY, GOOD NEWS. I’ll do a class for 8-12s. Because I love your kids. I do. And I want to give them some encouragement and some tips. But I don’t want to throw too wide a net for my teen class. It’s a big difference, a 9 year-old and an 18 year-old. It takes a magician to communicate well for both of those kids at the same time, and despite all evidence to the contrary, I am not a magician. I’ll check dates with the librarians and let you know. But maybe a Saturday. Or maybe not. (And probably no pizza. Sorry. I’ll tell you where you can go pick up some lunch, though, if you need ideas.)
So, recap: Summer is here. My manuscript is delivered (again). My brain circuits are shredded and I have nothing resembling rational thoughts.
And what’s new with you?

Awesome! I bet that feels awesome. I’m up to asking my friend Becca if she’s ready to read and review my book yet? Let me know when.

Yay for a delivered manuscript! How exciting!

Cheer a bunch tomorrow. I’ve been pondering what a good day it was — albeit laced with um, errr, unanticipateds — that many years ago. And I’ve pondered, some, its 3 generations of (in spirit, at least) antecedents. Concentrate on marshalling all the good times this week.
