Hey, remember that I have a blog?
Nah, me either.
Okay, so it has been nearly a week, and I was hoping that I’d catch up on a whole lot of blog reading (has it really been that long?) but instead I’ve been helping neighbor lady divide some plants, and baking rosemary bread, and working on revisions, and washing copious amounts of blue jeans, and trying to finish “Gone with the Wind” before it’s due back to the library, and making peach jam, and occasionally vacuuming something, and eating as many fresh tomatoes as I can handle, and watching episodes of PSYCH with Husband.
Have we all seen Psych? We should. Netflix. Love it.
Also, I have another appearance to talk about. Barnes and Noble is teaming up with the Murray (Utah) schools, and is having events. We love events. Having events is much pleasanter than having issues. So the events in question are happening next weekend. Thursday night (September 23rd) the Murray B&N is hosting kid-book authors for a book fair and signings. Friday night, they’re hosting teen authors. Nine of us. I only know me. I could ask for a list, but I might grow neurotic at all the surrounding authorial awesomeness and do something stupid like obsess about my shoes or wardrobe instead of just showing up to have a few hours of book-related fun. Visit my appearances page for all kinds of details. Or don’t. But consider yourself invited, either way.
Have I told you the name of my main character in my current project? She’s Ivie. I have (had) a great grandma (she was really Nana) named Ivie. Awesome, huh? Ivie runs. I don’t know if my Nana ran. She fed us Ritz crackers, though, and made driftwood sculptures, and had a heavy, dark curtain on her living room window, which let in slants of dusty light only at the corners. Nana lived on the hill in Oakland California, right down the street from Grandma Jennie. This is all you need to know. Wait – this is a great deal more than you need to know. But you’re welcome, anyway. I have gone past my minimum word-count goal, and I’m still moving forward on it. This is good news. Not that it’s going to be a long book. It’s not. I enjoy writing short-ish books. So I will continue to do so. But this one is slightly less short-ish.
Today is my last day to be 36. Just saying. More on that tomorrow, I believe.

I never realize until you post how much I’ve missed your posting – a little dose of Becca. Just what was needed.
I got you a wee little b-day present which will arrive in your inbox tomorrow morning. It’s wee, but special, I hope.

Having events is much better than having issues. Ha, ha, ha! Love that. Also, love Psych. Also, love you. Happy birthday again!
