- The book launch party is this weekend. I have most of the prizes for the raffle and I've ordered the party platters. But there are some things that I need to make.
- On a positive note, I've been leaving a stack of bookmarks in the convenience store at work and people seem to be taking them. I've replaced the stack twice now. So, I'm hoping that means the books the store orders will sell quickly!
- I've been trying to think of a standard "line" with which to sign my books. Obviously for people I know, I'll put something personal, relating to them. But I'm thinking for the other books that I sign (okay, my stomach just did a nervous flippy thing at the very idea of signing books!), I should maybe have some kind of standard saying or line. Like, "To X, Happy reading" or something. any suggestions on this? I need help. Please let me know what you think! Email me at sklemstein@msn.com or post a comment below.
- For anyone interested in the status of Bitter Pill, I had just short of a three hour phone call yesterday with one of my dear friends and first readers, Becky. Beck gave me all kinds of good suggestions for making the story a little longer (which is needed, I think) and many corrections that need to be made. (Thank you, Becky!!!! I appreciate the help!) So, once I'm finished with my current project, I'll begin making those fixes and hopefully will get that out the door for consideration soon.
- And finally, one ginormous thank you to Ed for pulling my butt out of the technological fire this weekend. Right now, I'm using my husband's computer to access the internet (mine was recently tinkered with -- but who did the tinkering, I ask you? -- and no longer works properly). This weekend it appeared that I'd made my husband's computer crash. That awful blue screen that says "beginning physical dump of memory" appeared. It wasn't good. Husband was not happy. But Ed to the rescue! He fixed it and all is right with the world once more. So, thank you again, Edward! Have I mentioned that I'd be using an abacus and chipping away at stone tablets without you? : )
Okay, that's it for today. Although, one more thing. Meg Cabot has a funny entry today for all you cat people out there. She has a cat with one eye who is quite ferocious apparently. It seems that Henrietta, said cat, took over Meg's blog for the day. It's a very cute entry. You can check it out here: www.megcabot.com Then just click on the link for her diary. I would try to give you an exact link but once again, that involves opening another window without losing this blog entry and I don't have that kind of luck. And I really don't think Ed wants yet another phone call from me this week!
Talk to you tomorrow.
