Blog Hopping... and other cardio

In the beginning of 2012, there will be a new and funky event amongst a handful of writers out here called a Blog Hop. Instantly, I thought I'd have to chuck my shoes and dance in socks on the gym floor, but apparently I'm only required to write... hmmm... sometimes I'd rather dance.

The event is for a good cause - to bring awareness to the public of some up-and-coming writers and give you access to them in a way that you've not had in the past. So, feel free to comment, ask questions, and link, forward, or otherwise share what treasures you find.

I'm looking forward to hearing from everyone and even more so to "meeting" new ones. I may be switching over to a newer blog (especially since the title of this one will be obsolete in two days), which is at www.PainInTheCass.blogspot.com. You don't have to capitalize any of the words so you don't have to worry that you'll stumble into an entirely different person's thoughts and ramblings. No telling what that mind's neighborhood will look like. :)

I'll send more information as I have it.

Happy Christmas and a Merry New Year to the bunch of you...!

Me? They Talked about Me...?

A few years back while at a writers' conference, I had a fairytale experience that resulted in my getting a new, fabulous agent. It, also, resulted in my ending up - namelessly, but everyone knew it was me - in an article by Adair Lara in the San Francisco Chronicle. (And before you think I'm seeing things, I didn't actually discover this article. Several friends did and called me up to tell me about it... niceeeee....:)   )

The one line that pertains to me is at the bottom,, "This week he was debating which lucky agent to give a talented writer in his workshop to." And he worked his butt-tukas off finding me one... Now, I have to get off my butt-tukas and finish the damn thing...


Grrr..., but here we go!
