First off, let me tell you: NEVER get your lips tattooed. All that color that made me look like a harlot the first day had flaked off by the end of the fourth day. Now my lips are these pale, barely pink things that still hurt, but have nothing to show for it. My sis in law who got her eyes done is deliriously happy with hers and I wish I had followed her example when choosing how best to spend my gift certificate.
Second: Yesterday was my day to scribble over at the wall.
And today I got kudos for my post from Jon Bard over at http://write4kids.com/blog. In case you aren’t aware, Jon keeps his finger on the pulse of the children’s literature market and does a pretty swanky job of it. He’s the editor of the Children’s Book Insider. Jon rocks and the fact that he liked what I wrote yesterday only improves that opinion. 
And hey! This means I’m on You Tube! I tried to embed it here, but you all know how useless I am with technology so here’s the link:

and so far the prices are great. Here’s the link: http://www.whitneybenefitauction.com/servlet/StoreFront
You Know how I work for eBay? Well I went and checked stocks today (as I do daily) and about had a heart attack! Stocks are under thirteen dollars! Are you kidding me??? eBay is a totally solid company which makes money EVERY quarter! What are investors thinking? This only goes to further prove that too many idiots control the monetary system.
eBay rocks! Do your Christmas shopping there. You can bid on the edit from Precision Editing Group for your favorite writer. That’s a gift that will bring a grin to any writer’s face.
Have a great week everyone. I’m working like a crazy woman on my work in progress and have now reached 37000 words! Woohoo. So don’t feel bad if I am totally quiet on the internet.
You will be missed whilst delving into your current work in progress, but I’m excited for you! Such a lovely feeling! And congrats on the kudos! Nothing quite like praise from someone you admire and respect.
37K? Really? Maaaan, I need to catch up. Maybe that will help fuel my own inspiration. I agree that ebay rocks, I’m buying most of my christmas there so I hope that helps the stocks and BIG kudos on the youtube. That’s like the BIG time to be quoted in a VIDEO! I’m at 29K, I wonder how long it will take for me to catch up.
oh Josi, you have laid down the gauntlet! Did I use the word lay right Annette? Heck! Did I even spell the word gauntlet right? Dang . . . and I’m a writer?? Regardless of that, agood stiff competition between me and my fav gal pal is just the fire I need under my backside. Let the games begin!
Wow, how fun that you were highlighted on the write4kids blog–Woohoo!!! Jules, you just can’t help but sparkle wherever you are!
Hope the lips are feeling better!
I am SICK over what happened to your lips! But way to pound out those words, girl!
I’m so sorry about your lips, but yay for all the kudos and accomplishments!
Aww man, I’m so sorry to hear your pain and misery isn’t panning out to amount to anything. That just plain sucks.
Enjoy writing! Writing is FUN! *U*
Hopefully your lips have fully recovered by now … I am assuming they will recover?!?
And congrats on all the great accomplishments!
