Here it is Friday, and I haven't posted since Monday.
Well, not here, anyway. I have been a bunch of other places, doing interviews and guest posts, generally popping up and saying, "Look at me! I wrote a book!"
I'm starting feel like some literary equivalent of Whac-A-Mole.
Like if I don't duck back down fast enough, somebody is going to connect with that hammer.
Hope this guy isn't out there in cyberspace waiting for me:
So I'll just put out one last invitation to my very first (!!!) book signing/reading tomorrow (click here for details, or just go to the Events tab at the top of the page) before I duck away again.
I would dearly love to see anyone who lives within a a reasonable driving distance there. I'll even give you (chocolate) kisses if you come. Er, I mean show up. (Sorry. That's just the way my mind works sometimes. Okay,
Oh, and I promise I will get back to non-promotional content on the blog real soon. Some upcoming topics:
- Advice From an Ass, or How I Learned to Ignore Reviews
- Shitty First Drafts: Yes, You CAN Polish a Turd!
Which would you like to see first?
LOL I'm anxious to read your upcoming posts. Also, I wish I lived closer. Bummer. :(
ReplyDeleteshitty first drafts. post it! please.
ReplyDeleteand after you wow the crowd at your reading tomorrow (good luck, BTW), you'll be signed up for an east coast tour and i'll be able to see you offline for the first time ever! ah, dreams. :)
LOL!! Both those topics sound great!
ReplyDeleteBreak a leg - you'll be fabulous! I'll be there in spirit, since Virginia is a bit of a commute from Calgary.
ReplyDeleteI'll look forward to both your topics, and thanks for my morning laugh. I find the word "turd" intrinsically funny, and "polish a turd" cracks me up.
Maybe I should do a "turd" post... 'Fraid I never grew out of adolescent potty jokes.
Wish I was closer and both topics will hold my fascination. :o)
ReplyDeleteI would LOVE to meet you, I laugh out loud when I read some of your posts, whack-a-book indeed.
ReplyDeleteif you ever make your way to St. Louis, I'm there

Ah, but the trouble with polishing a turd is that in the end, you still have a turd.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh!!! Looking forward to BOTH of those posts! :D
ReplyDeletehahaha - I'd be there with bells on if I lived closer! Knock 'em dead, Linda!
ReplyDelete(and bask in every moment )
Wish I could be there. Break a pencil. (Break a leg for writers.)
ReplyDeleteI would love to hear how one remains unaffected by feedback. I have recently come to the conclusion that I took some very bad feedback to heart a couple of years ago.
ReplyDeleteWish I could stop by, but I'm stuck in Georgia. I have some cleaning/shopping/writing/editing/painting to do...
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of polishing. Not enough is said about this, and my first drafts ALWAYS suck. I'm just hoping my book is readable by the 30th draft...
Can you tell I'm obsessive about revising? Must be the English teacher in me.
I think I want to know about polishing turds! LOVE IT!!!! This is what I tell my kids when they write their essays for school. (polish turds) You are a riot.
ReplyDeleteOoooo!!! That means you're signing books TODAY!! OMG!! So exciting. I wish I could go now!! Hugs, and I'm sending good vibes to those fingers of yours so that you can sign LOTS and LOTS of book!! WOOOOOT!!
ReplyDeleteFaced with those two options I think I'll opt for ... the one with most camels.
ReplyDeleteAlas, I probably couldn't live further away.
ReplyDeleteHave a great time!
There is NO WAY you have received a bad review. Your book is simply too good for that. But, I suppose I would like to hear your thoughts on that.
ReplyDeleteWhen are you coming to the Big Apple (or anywhere in CT)?!?!?! I'm dying to meet you in person.
Oooooooh, polish that turd!! Congrats again, Linda :)
