Thanks, Jenni — I’m happy for you. Your pub dates creeping up on us, right? I’ll need my copies signed in 24 carat gold ink, puhleeze. Can’t wait!

LOL! I love that you AREN’T going to lie anymore on the blog… LOL! Cracked me up!

And you go, you’re allowed to just read sometimes, seriously. It’s what makes writing worth while!

Pssst… I’m super happy for you!

Shelli — I’m so excited for you and your new WIP! Can’t wait to read it. Let’s have lunch soon… not TOO soon, I have a lot of catching up to do. Kids back to school tomorrow…

Lori — Hope you have a fruitful writing season, too! Still want to swap MG drafts? You can keep me honest by giving me a deadline (hint, hint);-)

So far, I’ve only gotten to the first link. My own eyes are burning from weird sunscreen I applied for last-minute, last-day-of-vacation-day at Disneyland vs. a relaxing day finishing up Little Women (sometimes fun to re-visit childhood favorites like Little Women and the Peter Pan ride). Get thee to work on your Many Word Fest. You’ve chosen the perfect way to get motivated, I think (reading a bunch).

I love the Ellen Potter post, and am keeping your post “marked unread” so I can go back w/fresh eyes and check out the other links. Happy New Year!

No such thing as too much reading or too much writing. Looks like we’ll be on similar schedules for the next few months. (except I’ll finish one and you’ll finish two) Roy is starting to drop hints that the blue of a Wal-Mart smock might really bring out my eyes. No more motivation needed. So far so good in 2010. I don’t care that it’s only the 4th and really the first day I’ve spent writing. It was a good one so I’m gold-starring it.

We need to break for lunch one day soon because I got you a little (very little) something to keep near your desk for motivation on one of those works-in-progress of yours.

Happy New Year, Nikki!
