I’m a big fan of the quiches and mango smoothies. ;)

I'm a Panera writer too! I work from home so it's fun to switch up my office. Plus, bagels are really good. .-= • Recent post by Samantha Bennett: Detail Disoriented =-.

Good for you! after a major productive streak came to an end a couple weeks back I have been struggling – as you know – to get back into it (yes, still). 500 words. 500 words. I am going to keep telling myself that.

Jon-
Ooo, what’s been going on? (Or will you blog about it?)

While I don’t think you *need* it per se, I actually think you would quite enjoy a writing workshop. :) I met a woman at the Kenyon workshop that reminded me of you, actually, and we loved her.

I need to go to a novel writing workshop. Don’t know any story rules, only grammar rules. And, I like breaking those ; -)

If blogs don't count in terms of daily quotas I am totally behind this week! Oh well, writing this week, with all that has been going on, has been near impossible. Good to hear you have that work ethic. Much kudos. .-= • Recent post by Jon: Stephenie Meyer vs. Just a Writer =-.

Congrats on getting your words down. That’s a great feeling. And yes, Natalie’s contest did get some awesome entries. You have a great blog here, and I just wanted to let you know that I’m here following your from Kimberly Franklin’s.

Meghan-
Seriously. Exposition is not necessarily evil. Just like adverbs!

Sonja-
Sorry, it’s not that you can’t write about the weather, but nowadays supposedly you’re not supposed to start with weather. The whole “It was a dark and stormy night” thing. Apparently it’s cliché and thus evil. {shrug}

Jay-
Snoopy is the man! (Er, the dawg.) Thanks! I’ll be over in a hop, skip, and a jiffy!

Todd-
LOL Hugh Grant’s discarded toenail. There’s a visual I didn’t need. A-Kutch is not usually my fave, but I thought he was “aight.” J-Alb is so pretty it’s like who even cares what she does, lol. Honestly, for me that might have been part of the charm: so many pretty, or at least familiar, faces, that I was kind of awed. I thought Topher Grace, Anne Hathaway, Hector Elizondo, and the little boy were pretty quality.
