"The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making."

If you're in the mood for a charming story, please drop by and read Catherynne M. Valente's "The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making." It's a free, online YA novel, posted by chapter every Monday. And don't forget to consider the "Donation" button at the bottom. Details about the whys and wherefores of the novel can be found HERE. I haven't read Chapter 2 yet, but I really enjoyed Chapter 1.


"The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making."

Off for 4 days

Tomorrow is my 31st wedding anniversary.  And yes, I did get married when I was only 7 years old, thank you very much. 

Although my friend and I call our morning walk our Husband-Bashing Session, let me just state officially that my husband is my rock, the one whom I can always depend on, the one who supports me and holds me up and makes me strong.  The one who still can make me laugh after all these years, who respects me and values me and never puts me down. 

I guess I'll keep him.

So we're off to the coast for 4 relaxing days.  No baby-sitting for me for the rest of the week, and lots of time to do only what I want.  YAY!  I'll be around still--just not very much.

Play nice!  I've got a story to finish revising.  What I'm hoping for is inspiration to start a new one.  Seems like forever!
