Here’s someone I like a whole lot, and it happens to be his birthday today. Maybe you can drop by his blog and wish him a good one.
Also, a shout out to those of you who made the jump from LitPark to Brad Listi’s fabulous Nervous Breakdown!
And one last thing before I get to the [...]
A while back, I ran a contest, using one of Neil Gaiman’s baby photos, and said the first person to guess who it was would win an interview with me.
Honestly, I run these contests because I like any excuse to play. But something else happens and that is you can be surprised by the [...]
Say something nice about the person who posted right before you. (Okay, it’s more of a command than a question, but try it. Who couldn’t use a compliment?)
Wednesday, the winner of the Neil Gaiman photo-guessing contest will be here. You may remember that the prize for the contest winner was an interview on LitPark. So [...]
Monday, when I announced it was my birthday week, I never ever imagined I might get a book deal as a birthday present. I can’t share all the details just yet, but I did accept an offer on my novel the other night. The offer came out of the blue and I’m still stunned and [...]
On Friday, Mr. Henderson and I lost our friend Cletus, and then on Monday, we lost an awesome and funny woman we call Bargie. Bargie is sister to Jean Erdman Campbell (whom Bargie called “Johnny” – all four sisters had silly nicknames for each other) and sister-in-law to Joseph Campbell. She will be buried here:

Sunday is my birthday, so today’s question is, What’s your sign, and what’s your age? Come on, be brave.

I need to start my weekly wrap by saying that was some sweet homecoming you guys gave me. Thank you for that. You were definitely missed.

If you’re wondering about the seemingly random (yet stylish) photos today, these are some of the people I’ll be working with next month, and this is my little way of [...]
Some writers’ styles are so identifiable, you can practically parody them – David Foster Wallace, Mark Twain, Dylan Thomas, Nikki Giovanni, Lemony Snicket. Today’s guest is one of those writers that, if you’re given two or three sentences, you can say, “Oh, that’s an Elizabeth Crane story.”
How would I define her writing style? Breathless, playful, [...]
Describe your writing style (if you’re a writer). If you’re an artist, director, reader, or any of my other friends at LitPark, I want to hear about your style, too, even if it’s to hear about your shoe collection!

Wednesday, short-story writer, Elizabeth Crane, will be here, and we’re talking style, among other [...]
I’m sorry I can’t share any details, and I’ve locked the comments section until I get back. See you on Monday, March 12th!
And thank you to Candy, Holly, Jo Anne, Kathy, Theresa, and Tracy for letting me rummage through their closets and jewlery boxes!
XO!
