You just told me about your website, and how your DS runs your facebook account...so I wasn't surprised that A) you haven't added me yet ;-) or B) that you don't seem to get on there ever.<BR/><BR/>But if I were putting out 25K words in a week I would probably never check it either.<BR/><BR/>So anyway, I'll say here what I wrote you there...that I really enjoyed chatting with you at the library event. And I am currently reading 13th Reality to my 9yo son Gator, who doesn't like to read, but I get him to read every other page in order to keep going. It's a great carrot; one that allows me to motivate him, while he gets to stay up past his bedtime because he's reading. Win-Win for everyone!<BR/><BR/>Right now Tick's in Alaska. Can't wait to find out what happens next. But it'll have to wait till Tuesday because I'm working this weekend...criss crossing the country back and forth. Kind of like you'll be doing for the next 6 weeks. I hope you like peanuts! ;-)<BR/><BR/>Cheerio,<BR/>Blue (can you remember my name IRL?)Bluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07019311467241458492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8648274871264107501.post-86852720845765720682007-08-30T11:33:00.000-06:002007-08-30T11:33:00.000-06:00This is great that so many people are leaving comm...This is great that so many people are leaving comments!

Also, I just wanted to let you know that Madison finished the final Jimmy Fincher book last week and she really loved how it ended. She showed her new 3rd grade teacher and she was very impressed and wants us to bring the books in so other kids in her class can read them too. How'd you like that run on sentence? I'd be a great writer. Maybe I should practice my drawing so someday I can illustrate one of your books.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8648274871264107501.post-19112409588775755132007-08-30T07:32:00.000-06:002007-08-30T07:32:00.000-06:00Hey - I'm so excited you decided to finally blog l...Hey - I'm so excited you decided to finally blog like the rest of us...LOL No kidding, way to go.
