Housekeeping!
Yes, I've been far away from LJ-land (at least, in terms of my own entries) for a while. Sorry, really. I'd much rather have been posting than running around like a crazy person trying (and failing) to get my house ready for guests.
On the bright side, during that time of "Not Posting" I received my M.F.A. in Children's Literature "with all the honors, rights and privileges thereunto appertaining." Though I'm still not quite sure what these rights and privileges are.... Apparently not the right to graduate inside and not be rained on. My mortarboard is mushy now... Good thing I have another one for all those academic events I attend! ;-)
ETA: I will be posting a, uh, real update at some point tomorrow or Friday. Gotta get life back in order first!
And in other news... I've had this idea running through my head to do a lot of posting this summer. Call it Post-Hollins-Insanity- I need something to keep me on my toes! Only problem is I'm not sure what people want to see. I know I want to run at least one contest of some sort, and some of my friends on Facebook have suggested character interviews, so I'll probably do that at some point as well. But what else?
I'm going to leave that up to you guys. I'd like to do non-character interviews, so if anyone is interested in being interviewed here, either leave a comment or email me at kathleenfoucart at gmail dot com (with all the obvious replacements to make sure the email actually gets to me). I'm looking to interview authors, but also pre-published writers, artists, musicians and other creative-types. So if you're interested, let me know!
Also options: teasers, photos, more writing quote discussions, book reviews (if there's anything you want to see in particular, gimme titles!), talking about research (for Arion or Wings & Fangs)... Er, yeah. I'm really open to just about anything!
So, in the comments below please tell me what you want to see! I'd love to get a discussion going on what you enjoy in a blog, too, so c'mon and chat! :)
