Things are happening...
Dear Internet,
THINGS ARE HAPPENING! Lots and lots of things.
My two boys are full of sass and fun and I've had to blow lots of bubbles with them (and ride bikes and prepare for all the END OF THE SCHOOL YEAR MADNESS and it's all been WORTH IT. And an honor and a privilege. These boys are anti-birth-control lately. What magical creatures. I greedily want just one more.)
I'm learning to sew, and, did you know that it can take up to two hours to cut out a complicated pattern? Well, it can. (But it's totally worth it.)
I'm also still taking ballet twice a week. The class is an hour and a half and I have a twenty minute commute both ways and so that's quite a chunk of free time used up in the getting to and taking and getting back of ballet. (Also totally worth it.)
I'm also working on a new adult urban fantasy partial and it is CREEPY and also FUN. I think. I'm not sure if it's going to ever see the light of day, but I'm having a blast spending time with the characters. (Ditto. Worth it.)
I'm also reading and digesting and responding to an editorial letter for my 2013 young adult book for Delacorte. I am eating, dreaming, and showering this book right now (some of my best thinking happens in the shower or in the middle of the night when I wake up and slap my husband and shout "I've got it!" before going back to sleep. It's fun to sleep beside me. You never know when you'll be rudely, but enthusiastically, awakened in the middle of the night.) But the dwelling is helping. I think I'm getting close to a breakthrough. (So yeah, not only worth the time, but necessary. Since this is my job and I have a contract to fulfill and yada yada.)
Long story long, I've had some busy, Internet, and I'm sorry. I swear I will be back around to posting more frequently soon. I have a fun Star Wars themed post planned. I just need to find my little blue camera. My big camera is too bulky to get the shots I want. I've also got a rant building about why it's best to keep your real life interactions more numerous than your online interactions (if at all possible).
So stay cool, and I"ll check in soon with some pics and rants and the belated posting of 8's birthday montage,
Stacey
