Katie MacAlister's Blog
March 25, 2009
- As I mentioned in a Twitter this morning, I had one of those annoying insomnia nights last night, the kind where you toss and turn in bed unable to get to sleep, only to stagger out and end up watching Blackadder videos until the wee small hours of the morning. In my case, it was until 3am, an hour before the hub and I were due to get up (the hub let me sleep in, fortunately, although the dogs ...

- A little late today because…um…well, OK, I don’t have a really good excuse. I did tackle the reader request stack today, and beat it down to the point where I’m at letters postmarked approximately January 9th of this year, which is a minor miracle, frankly. Because I’ve been avoiding the e-mail queue in favor of getting reader requests out the door, I’m going to spend a little time on ...

- I present an annotated picture of my desk at this very moment. Yes, I blurred out the style sheet. Deliberately. I am mean. Click on picture to make bigger.

- I found a couple more foreign covers a few weeks ago, and have neglected to post them. I shall do so now, just because I get a kick out of seeing them (and I really must, must, must add them into my website–I just keep forgetting to do so). [Click thumbnail to see bigger picture] The first cover is for Sex and the Single Vampire. I have to say, I like these German covers. The colors are very ...

- Life has been a little stressful here at Rancho Doghair these last few days, mostly due to my mother-in-law not feeling well, and Mr. Katie having to spend time with her at the hospital. She is home now, however, which is always good news. Also good news: I survived a night alone here at RD, despite the deranged axe murdering clowns who always descend upon the house when the hub is gone for the ...

- OK, I think we all know by now that Katie Is Bad. Yes, I neglected Wednesday's hump question...again. I didn't post anything yesterday. But in my defense, I will say that I've been writing more than my normal wad, and that means this book will get done faster. Yay for a little free time, once it actually happens. I have a couple of field trips today, all to the same place (but different pages ...

- Why you people put up with me I’ll never know. I just forgot to do yesterday’s Good News Tuesday, and here it is Wednesday and I’m sure oodles of you are just bursting with fabulous and exciting news. Far be it from me to keep you from sharing it, so feel free to do so. While I’m waiting, I’ll show you one of the things that kept me from the computer yesterday. I have a couple of ...

- I saw this on the Wenches’ forum, and laughed so hard at it, I figured it would be perfect for today. It’s the best first wedding dance ever. Seriously. Just have your sound turned on.

- Someone once asked me why I refer to my muse as a person, as in "My muse informed me she did not wish to work today, and that I could just tough it out without her," or "In order to make my muse happy, I am feeding her daily dollops of Colin Firth as Mr. Darcy in Pride and Prejudice. She has such a crush on him..."The answer is simple--I think of my muse as a prima donna, an ...

- It's humpy day again. Funny how these seem to roll around once a week (except when I forget to notice them). Today's Hump Day Question is about social networking and the like. Prompted to hunt down URLS and such by my UK publisher, I dusted off my Shelfari and Twitter accounts, and made them available for folks to befriend/follow (I'll put the big list of connections below). But that brought to ...

- Today’s field trip is one that makes me squirm in my seat. And want to go brush my teeth. Pucker Up And the following is from a newsletter I just sent out, for those of you (ahem) not on my newsletter list. KATIECON 2009? MAYBE… Recently, some of the lovely folk over on the message forum have been talking about arranging a Minion Meet/Get-Together/mini KatieCon in the ...

- There are times when I really would like to have a working brain. One of those times is when it comes to saving chat transcripts, as promised, but since that lovely idea fell flat on its face (who knew the chat room software purged the chats each midnight? Not me, that’s for sure), I’m going to try to go over as many of the points covered during the recent Playing With Fire chat as I can ...

- Today's HDQ is brought to you by the hoof pick I found in my purse the other day.Yes, hoof pick. As in, the thing you use to clean a horse's hoof. I do not own a horse, nor do I go riding. This hoof pick is from my childhood days, and I have absolutely no idea how it got into my purse. I suspect imps.Your HDQ: what is the oddest thing you have right now in your purse/pocket/backpack/other?

- It's that day again--Tuesday, when I rip good news from innocent people without regard as to whether or not they happen to want their news spread about. Yes. Someone is in a bit of a curmudgeonly mood. We'll pass quickly over that and move straight to your good news. You have some, I assume. I shall sit here in all my grumpiness and allow you to slather me with the many and varied good things ...

- Today's field trip is to a site I absolutely love: someecards.com. Some of the cards are downright hysterical, but many come with a language and inappropriate content warning--the site is not for those of tender sensibilities or folks who haven't made it out of their teens.But if you're old and cranky like me, you'll probably get a kick out of some of the cards. Just don't browse through ...
