Renee: I dallied on you because I needed time to sit and read your blog! It’s wonderful! I think Field of Dreams is a perfect writer’s analogy. If you write it, publishing will come is awesome! I’m glad you wrote a blog to it–Field of Dreams definitely deserves its own blog!

*LOL* I wish I could take credit for being brilliant enough to use computer jargon because it also reminded me of you…but that’s like me taking credit for the “twist ending” of GOGU, which we know was actually Dee’s twist ending.

Actually it reminds me of the time Dee and Pat were reading my chapter of GOGU of Ben & Livie talking after sex. He calls her Wart. He means “worry wart”–Pat got it. Dee said, “That’s brilliant! I love the reference to Once and Future King!” I blinked at her. “What?” “That’s what Merlin calls Arthur in OFK. He calls him wart, like a protogee. That’s what you meant right?”

My brilliance is usually overestimated.

I love how you used a computer reference to keep me from being upset about you not reading my comment because you know my brain computes two ways, football referenecs and computer jargon. LOL

Janga, I love that song! In fact, your posting of it prompted me to pull up my computer play list just so I can listen to it again!

And yeah, I try not to think about when I blogged about something or someone else blogged about something…the realization that Time is wearing Nikes and running like the fires of hell nips at his heels is of no comfort to me. Esp when I realize I still haven’t got crap done.

Maggie, I wish I were in my pjs now too. I need a nap!

Stephanie: Are you one of the brave hoards doing NaNo? Eek!!! Don’t worry. If I hadn’t written this blog and had been asked to do this assignment, I’d have had nothing…

Honestly I stole the Wizard of Oz concept from Weight Watchers, then applied it to writing. I swear if I didn’t go to the gym or weight watchers, I’d have no blogs.

Hal: I do love American Beauty as well. What a freaky film. But I think Kevin Spacey is a genius in anything he does.

Sin: I tried to read your comment, but upon seeing the word football, my brain acted like a computer encountering a Trojan horse and just shut down completely. I can’t process football analogies. Fortunately everyone else can…and loves it when you guys do blogs about it. *LOL*

Marnee: I know you’ve gone to the conference now and are kicking butt at pitching and making friends–but I had to agree about the flying monkeys. Those little bastards do fly awful low into the fly zone!

2nd Chance: I think Practical Magic might be my favorite Sandra Bullock film. That scene where her younger self creates that spell to prevent true love so she never gets hurt just breaks my heart! I agree: believing in your own brand of magic is the key!
