The Locked Bathroom

It's a funny thing about a blog that no one knows about yet. It's like a locked bathroom, a magic sanctuary, a junior high school journal. You can just sit in it, rummaging around in the old bellybutton for wayward lint, maybe sing off-key a little bit or stare off into space, and nobody's the wiser, the more grossed out, or irritated. Even after I hit the "Publish" button, I think I'm going to pretend I didn't.

Well, Hello There World

Well, hello world!
Oh, my permanently flattened buttocks!
Look! A...a...sky...and coffee shops...and wait...are those my children???

Lo, these many months, I have been toiling in the Manuscriptorium, rinsing out my plot socks in the sink, chasing my characters under and over the furniture, looking to the ever-Yertle/Turtle-ing teetering stack of coffee mugs beside my computer for tips on creating story tension.

Though the computer never actually suffered a moldy coffee sludge dousing, I regret to say that the clicky slidey cursor thing did experience a nervous break-down under the creative strain, and had to be put to sleep. Nevertheless, approximately 11,571 minutes ago, I had the pleasure of typing the last word of the last sentence of The Ninja Librarians: Sword in the Stacks. Ahhhhhhh. Hey, and while I was away, this kicking cover for the book by illustrator Luke Pearson came into being. Thank you, Luke!
