Hump Day Yawn

Katie MacAlister — Wed, 25 Mar 2009 11:38:31 -0700

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 ...

Good News Tuesday

Katie MacAlister — Tue, 24 Mar 2009 15:23:36 -0700

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 ...

Because I'm procrastinating...

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.

Hump Day Fun

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 ...

GNT again!

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 ...

Field Trips!

Katie MacAlister — Fri, 20 Jun 2008 08:42:15 -0700

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 ...

Good News Tuesday a day late

Katie MacAlister — Wed, 18 Jun 2008 05:52:48 -0700

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 ...

Field Trip Friday

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.

The woman who lives in my brain

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 ...

Humpers, Ahoy!

Katie MacAlister — Wed, 11 Jun 2008 06:32:16 -0700

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 ...
