I haven't blogged much here, but it's clear I have stalkery type feelings for Carrie Harris. And in all that fangirlyness I am experiencing, I want to share something pretty important.
Night of the Giving Dead, hosted by Carrie, is an auction with tons of great stuff up for grabs. Query and manuscript critiques, arc copies, signed and personalized books from amazing YA and middle-grade authors. It's incredible.
It is for the best cause I can even think of. The Giving Library gives books to children hospitalized.
Donate. Bid. Do anything, it's important and the reward is priceless.

In A Slump?
I am digging my WIP. No really, it's awesome. Haven't had a single "uh oh what do I write now" moment yet.
But I did have a strange feeling after a couple of days of nonstop writing. I had grown into a writing slump. What kind of slump, you ask?
Well...
I wrote in my craft room. I wrote in my bedroom. I wrote in my kitchen. I have typed on these keys in every room of my house (except the bathroom...yikes). I needed a new atmosphere, but what do I do?
When I lived in Savannah I practically lived at Panera Bread Co. Unfortunately there is only one I know of around me now, and it's pretty far. So I never thought to go.
But you know what? A slump needs to be...um...unslumped when it can. So I went. And I wrote like my life depended on it.
Check out the amazing pecan roll I devoured. Mmm...
Anyway, my point is if you are in a slump for any reason, try changing your environment. Change rooms, go outside, go to a coffee shop, do something. Because maybe your slump can be unslumped like it mine.

Some Awesome Facts Tuesday
Here we are again, sharing is caring and Tuesday is the day I care.
This week's theme for awesome facts is cats! *meow*
1. I've always had a pet in the house, and they have always been kitties. In total I've had nine. There is one outside I started feeding recently, so I'll count that as ten. Why not?
2. My cat is named Gizmo, and he's 10, and he was born on Halloween. He's so fluffy and fat, I
<3 him. (His picture is on the right. LOOK AT THE CUTENESS.)
3. Whenever I see a cat in a movie, I instantly love it. Even evil ones like in the movie The Cat's Eye, I rooted for the cat.
4. Fat cats are my favorite. I turn into a squealing crazy fangirl over fat cats. I have fat cat kitchen stuff and figurines and I will buy more and more until they over run the house and I'm on an episode of Hoarders.
5. Every time I watch a show, I get a little grumpy that everyone has a dog and not a cat. Sure, cats are feisty, but that's the appeal tv show people! Dogs are trainable, cats are awesome. Cats win in my book.
