A client put us up overnight at a luxury resort and paid us lots of money. Also they loved the show. Also, we loved the show.

Mostly, I’d rather be writing, though.

It won lots of prizes. The writing is delightful. Sometimes it makes me laugh out loud. I couldn’t care less what happens to the main character.

The End

I wondered why nobody was visiting my blog. I was sad. My feelings were hurt. Then I discovered I’d been magically disconnected from pretty much everything. So, to those of you missed my postings* you can still read my recent bits of humor and wisdom in posts immediately beneath this.

Had an interesting discussion with another writer. The topic has been changed to grossly over simplify a very complex subject which I will refer to as ‘teens wearing green hats.’

The protagonist and best friend wear green hats. Other writer points out that in her (actually considerable) experience with teens, they don’t wear green hats.

Aside from the possibility that a writer may know a couple of teens who wear green hats, there is the possibility a reader might find it more romantic or interesting to read about a teen who wears a green hat, even if in real life it’s like writing about a unicorn on American Idol.

In fact, in YA novels most of the female protagonists wear green hats.

That said, one does have to make it believable that the protagonist would wear a green hat.*

*Might still have to work on that one a little.

Writer’s Block is ‘when I block out everything else I was supposed to do so I can write.’ #amwriting

We interrupt this blog for an announcement. My actor son Michael had a co-star on Rosewood last night. He was great.

The end.

Note to Maggie Stiefvater: My spellcheck recognized your name. I believe this is the pinnacle of success. I just finished the last book of the Raven Boys cycle. Spellcheck is right.

The ending made me cry, because

1. It’s beautiful
2. Now the series is over
3. I didn’t write it.

*I have tweeted about this a few** times, but I’m not a literary stalker, honest. Merely an OA who loves YA
