This is a great blog, Marn. Congrats, Hal! WTG!!!! Yay! for the new release for J.K.!!!! The Immortals are sweeping the nation!!! Bummer on the ROM visit, Tiff, but at least it's over. JR Ward said the brick thing and I passed it around over here. The chat with Nora was awesome and I'll talk more about it in tomorrow. PS: I miss everyone!!! *giant sigh* I’m finally sitting down in my room, I’ve read through the 70 emails and I’m working on the blog for tomorrow. This is a great blog, Marn.

Yes. I am still thinking about how delicious it all was.And how fat I am.

I remember that one! Who said that before...I've seen that before...writing a book is like building a house one brick at a time but your nose is pressed to the brick you're laying at the time, so you don't see the progress you've made? Hal: I too am not-so-secretly in love with Will Ferrell. (Not as much as I love Jack. *shhh* Don't tell Jack, he might get jealous. I mean, he has nothing to worry about...but there is something about Will. I think it's because he makes me laugh.) Terri does not understand this love at all. She doesn't get schoolboy humor.

Just forget about that old story and wait until it feels fresh again, then come on back. And working on something new is so refreshing. Hellion - Treasure Island, huh? Sounds like a stop. :) I'm sure Luc's story will be great, as will A&Es. I think when you're in the middle of something it's hard to see the house as you're laying the bricks. Hal - it’s been great.
