You are sooooo glad you’re not at my house right now. Just trust me on this. I’ve jumped head-first into author hermitism. And worse, it’s that grouchy, driven, more-evil-than-usual type of hermitism.

But it hasn’t stopped me from having my doubts. Even though I’m damn near to the 50% finished point for DEVON’S PLAYGROUND, last night I just wanted to lay on the couch and think about what a crappy writer I am. I didn’t (my family has this wonderfully obnoxious way of not letting me say such things about myself), but I was resigned to get in some woe-is-me time this morning. That is, until I read this post from Diana Peterfreund.

The best part? The part I needed to hear?
Suck it up and finish the damn book.

I wrote it on a purple Post-It. I’m looking at it right now. Thanks, Diana. Sometimes a little kick is enough. (Plus, it’s funny, cuz I write about vampires and telling me to suck it up…well, it’s just FUNNY. Erm, not that DP is about vampires at all, but still)

In other news, one of your fellow minions (Ewoh!) has corrupted his entire family for the sake of EIGHTH GRADE BITES, me, and Vlad. You see, minions? All I’m asking is that you drag everyone you know into the Minion Horde. Is that too much to ask? I don’t think so.

Now, Ewoh is a very handsome man, and his wife is so pretty, but just look how completely adorable his lil girls are…how could they not be mini-minions?? Thanks, Ewoh. Onward, the Minion Horde!
