Do you Minions ever catch Rosanne reruns? Well, there’s one episode in particular I want you to think about. It’s the one where Dan moved Darlene into the basement to keep she and Becky from fighting, but then Darlene says that it’s cold down there. Rosanne, this entire episode, has been trying to give up control of the household and let Dan make some decisions. Well, when Darlene asks if she thinks it’s a good idea for her to move back with Becky, Rosanne all but hyperventilates and says in a shrieking, panicky voice, “I’m just over here breathing with Aunt Jackie!”
That, my Minions, is exactly how I feel about my career lately. I’m just over here breathing. I can’t say a word to any of you about the wonderful, wonderful things that are happening right now (and there are a few different squee-worthy items), because…well, because I’m not supposed to. So I’m just over here breathing with Aunt Jackie. (Which, if you know how much I adore Jackie Kessler…is really funny)
On the Vlad front: I’m almost finished with the revisions of NINTH GRADE SUCKS–yay!!!
On the Devon front: My fabulous agent has agreed that a synopsis is the way to go (rather than the dreaded outline), so…I may be on submission soon–double yay!!!
On the contest front: three weeks left, so enter!!!
And on the blog front: Yikes. I’ve been a terrible blogger lately. A word of warning, I’m dropping this down to a once-a-week kinda blog, just to allow myself time to put some serious work into Vlad and Devon. (and yes, I still love you–you’re my favorite Minion! Shh..don’t tell the others…)
And that’s it, folks…I’m getting back to work on DEVON’S PLAYGROUND…and breathing.


Okay, Heather. Shh, I won’t tell the other minions that I’m the favorite either. LOL. I hope that you can share your secret soon!
Breathing is good
News is good, even if you can’t tell us about it yet
Silly, I know that you weren’t talking to me when you said I was your favorite minion… just like I know that the TV isn’t talking to me about all that stuff. I know better, really I do.
Besides, isn’t Paul your favorite anyway?
Now, back to work on the up and coming books. Can’t wait to feast my eyes on them
You’re each my favorite. :-*
I’m DYING to know what your news is! I will sit on my hands for a while longer… *sigh*
Whatever it is, huge congrats!!
**pucker**
*squee*
**pucker**
(‘squee’, coincidentally, being the sound a belly-button makes upon unpuckering, before re-puckering in anticipation)
Not sure how much more of this I can take, Heather – beats the heck outta crunches, though…
Oh my squeegeeness, I just saw this post. Aunt Jackie’s been so freaking BUSY it’s not even funny…damn, but I HATE tax season…
My crew always say “At first dreams seem impossible, then improbable, then inevitable.”
Wacky blog item to learn more about.
