I swam this morning. Now I’m all perky. That’s so annoying. :) Yer man the kids’ team coach asked me what club I’d swum with, because anybody who did “tomble tarns” (ie, flipturns) was probably a club swimmer. I said I’d swum in Alaska, where I was from, and he said, “Alaska? But yer parents are Oirish. Ye’ve got an Oirish face.” :) Okay, my plans today are mostly South Carolina Writers’ Workshop stuff. I need to: – work up a handout for the “developing your writer’s voice” class –…
“Take A Chance” teasers!

If you want to email me your snailmail address, sometime in April (hopefully) I’ll send you a copy of the book. :) I’m taking tomorrow off, because I just cannot face going into another set of revisions immediately. I think I’ll go swimming and maybe read a book or something. I’m a party animal. :)
