The Strange Life of Writers

"When writing a novel, 

that's pretty much entirely what life turns into: 


'House burned down.


Car stolen. 


Cat exploded. 


Did 1500 easy words, 


so all in all it was a pretty good day." 

- Neil Gaiman




Love this.


And it's so true, right?

    Ha-Ha! We writers DO have strange lives!
    I'm so happy I met you at Writing For Charity, Erin! I love your enthusiasm and friendliness so much. I keep thinking about your book that you did in our critique group and I'm so impressed at what a fantastic story you've written! (and will continue to write in the sequels.) I love your writing voice and everything about your story. I have no doubt people are going to love reading your books in the near future! Wahoo for Erin!
    Oh, and I have to tell you, I love the header on your blog—fantastic!
