Top 50 dumb famous blonde quotes
From: http://www.news.com.au/dailytelegraph/story/0,22049,24979979-5001026,00.html

14) Jessica Simpson when offered buffalo wings: “Sorry I don’t eat buffalo.”
20) Christina Aguilera on film festivals: “So...
Doh!
I wrote out an entire post response earlier where I used the word tumbler repeatedly. Except I wrote it tumblr and could not figure out why the bad red squiggly showed up beneath it. Yarr!

I edited two chapters today and added a substantial amount of pages. Unfortunately I would rather continue to move the novel forward, instead of go back and edit. Sigh. I suppose it has to get done sometime, right?
Surreality
Sometimes reality really is crazier than fiction.
My professors always tell me that the difference between fiction and nonfiction is that fiction has to be believable.

I am so thrilled to hear that Neil Gaiman was honored with the Newbery Medal! I haven’t read this book BUT he is one of the keynote speakers at the Minneapolis Convention! Can’t wait to hear him speak in person… maybe I should read a few more of his books in the interim!

You can do it, Kayla! I’m happy to walk you through the steps I’ve taken, although I’ve discovered that the process of writing a novel is unique to each person undertaking such a challenge. Still, just let me know and we can chat about it sometime. I know you can do it. Every person has at least one novel in themselves just itching to come to life.
