Oy, I am so so so so so so so busy. Working like a madwoman on the book’s revisions (and damn if this book is not getting HUGE); too busy to answer emails and phone calls asking me to cast, do book signings, and various speaking engagements; and it has (again) been too hot to move this week.
So, I’ve decided to take a break (I started this entry 50 minutes ago, which shows how many other brilliant blogs I’ve visited while coming up with this silly post) and do a li’l quiz. (From Ali.)

 Smooth and comforting. But downright nasty when cold. |
Now, if Friday chooses to be below 90 degrees, I’ll feel like it’s Fall and that’ll be nice. I’d like to be less annoyed by weather and more inspired to cut HUGE chunks of stuff from the book. Anyone up for clearcutting? I could use some help, but it’s really thick underbrush at this stage (and I usually try to spare my proofer patrol from such heavy lifting).
Apocryphal story: A reporter went to visit Ernest Hemingway, and during the interview noticed a manuscript on the author’s desk. The reporter asked Hemingway if the book was finished, whereupon Hemingway threw the manuscript at the reporter and said “If you can find even one word that could be removed, it’s not finished.”
You don’t know how difficult it was for me to not refer to Ernest Hemingway solely as H-Dog.
if no one else volunteers, let me know and I’ll see what I can do. XOXO
