Well, it’s my birthday too, yeah. Thanks for all the birthday wishes! I’m sure it’ll be a good day, though just as busy as the rest of them. Sorry I’ve been out of touch lately–it’s been rather crazy around these parts! 

As promised, though really belatedly (sorry, I’ve been very busy lately), here are the ponies from our pony painting party at work. Mine, as already noted, is the Scheherezade pony. I should have given her eyes more detail. Susan’s Icharus pony: Cortney’s steampunk clockwork pony: Phil’s Egyptian pony of death:   Nina’s very sweet (just like her) … Read more

As requested, pictures of the ponies. I forgot to bring Scheherezade back to work today, but I took some shots of her with my niece’s ponies (she spent the night last night and we dyed ponies for her; we’ll have to have another session next week to paint them because we ran out of time–dying took … Read more

I forgot my camera today, so you will just have to take my word (until tomorrow, when I will NOT forget my camera) that I had the best afternoon ever yesterday, painting ponies with my coworkers. You can buy a blank My Little Pony and dye it, paint it, add wings or feathers or whatever you want.

As you can probably tell from my two-week posting absence, I had a great time on my vacation and at BYU Writing for Young Readers. Not much news to report–at least, nothing that would take the few minutes I have to post right now–so I’ll just leave you with my favorite shot from the conference.  … Read more

I ac tually got out of work a day early, so I’m off to pack and do laundry and all those other fun things you have to do before a vacation. It’s unlikely I’ll have a lot of time to keep up on the internet, if I even have internet access, so it’s likely going … Read more

If you’ve been wondering where I’ve been, well, I’ve been working on getting a lot of stuff done before I head out for vacation this Friday. Next week, I’ll be in Utah for BYU Writing for Young Readers. Immediately after that ends (well, okay, the next day), my friend and I are packing up her … Read more

I woke up early this morning, so I decided it was just about time to give the cats a bath. They were getting grimy and I was getting allergic. Kind of like Winchester getting washed down with a wet towel, only I actually throw them in the tub and hose them down and shampoo them and everything. And they … Read more

Yay!  Finally some resolution for Penny and Desmond. At least, I think. Still have 10 minutes to go. ETA 10 minutes later: AAAHH!! 

Many thanks to the teachers and students at Dimmitt Middle School in Renton, WA, which hosted their 7th annual Career Day yesterday. It was an honor to be invited and I had a lot of fun showing the students how a book comes to life, from the author’s first ideas, through the writing, submitting, and … Read more
