Since my little calendar shames me every time I log on to read my f-list, I've decided to kick my blogging into high(er) gear. Which in my case means blogging more than once a month, I guess.

I was so excited last night I had a hard time falling asleep! For the first time in two weeks I had writing time all to myself on my wip! Yeah!! When last we left our heroine, things were about to get fabulously fantastic. And then come crashing down. In a big way. And then again. And just when she thought life couldn't get any worse... Yep. I'm the big bad wolf of writers. Poor Aiden. And she's such an awesome person, too.

My kiddles returned to school, today. (I know, lol, random much?) Anyway, since I spent the last two weeks helping 7th grader edit the first 50 pages of her novel (she didn't make the entry deadline, though, for the Scholastic PUSH 1st novel contest)and write a synopsis and also wrote two synopses and 2500 word openings for two new projects of my own, it was nice to get back to BSD. We spent the day getting reacquainted, and ah... I do so love this book :)

I always try and enter the SCBWI WIP grant competitions. It's a nice brainstorming/testing time for me with projects that have been working in the back of my mind. This year was no different (note the two new projects and synopses above) however, in the end I decided not to enter. Not sure why, just felt project one needed more head time, and project two felt too sweet for someone else to see it before Steve...

Got my first taste of editing/working revisions/brainstorming with Secret Agent Man though, on new project one, and it was just as awesome and amazing and kick-ass as I knew it would be :) That project will be taking a hiatus for quite awhile, though. It's still in the back-burner, percolating stage.

The other new project though *insert ginormous, high-pitched squee-ing here* just made me lol and happy dance and do the ooh ah boogie I do when I first fall in love with a story and its characters and the voice. As soon as Aiden has danced her way into Steve's hands and heart, new project two and I will be spending some quality time together!

It does have a title, which will remain secret at this point, and is the first teen male protag I've written since forever! I cannot wait!!! But I must...

In other news, for the first time (seriously!) in almost a year, the studio is nearly clean and organized, and is already usable!! I'm in creative heaven, people, I swear!!

I may even post evidence of this by the end of the week :)

Ooh and book reviews!! I have read tons and reviewed none here! Bad, I say, bad!

But you have my pledge, faithful readerz (all two of you) that I will be a good little bloggette henceforth. And perforce. 'Cuz ya know, I just like the sound of it!!
