Something to blog about
It's been a few days since my last post, and since I feel compelled to post multiple times a week, I know I should blog about something. But the problem is I don't feel like anything in my life is currently blog-worthy.
For a minute I started to blog about OSU basketball and how they play in Gallagher-Iba Arena and how Cammie and Co. are called "Gallagher Girls" for a reason.
Then I started to blog about line edits and how they're hard--really, really hard--but worth it because when you're done you end up with the exact same book. But better. Much like having your teeth cleaned. Everything just feels and looks clean and sparkly and fresh.
And then I thought I might share with you about how, when I'm finished with the sequel, I really want to write something not funny. I mean tremendously unfunny. Because funny is a commodity that does run out sometimes.
But who wants to hear about that?
So then I thought about going ahead and posting the cover, but I don't dare without permission.
Of course another option is to update everyone on the fact that my parents finally have electricity. Many of our friends and neighbors, however, don't.
Oh, and I could also tell everyone that I was at a meeting this morning with a bunch of ranchers from western Kansas where they STILL have two feet of snow on the ground, and heifers have started calving! Just in case you don't know, heifers calving in any weather is work. Heifers calving on snow and ice is a nightmare.
And a part of me really wants to talk about all the comments and debates that have been going on at my agent's blog about whether or not the publishing industry is closed to new writers. (It's not, it's closed to writers who don't have books ready to sell--whether they're new or not. Once you have a book that can be sold then there will probably be a line of people ready to help you sell it.)
But I guess instead of getting into any of that I'll just say that I'm busy. And sleepy. And very close to being finished with Cross My Heart and Hope to Spy, and when it's over I'm going to get my hair cut and take a nap.
So since I don't have anything good to blog about I guess I'll just say good night. And GO POKES. And have a good weekend, everyone!
