Today Is My Valentine To Me
Yesterday’s OMSI trip was a blast despite the crowds. The youngest among us loved the room that shoots little blue balls everywhere, the middle crowd went gaga over the space exhibit, and us oldfolk had the most fun with the T. Rex skeleton. H. told me that there’s some thought that T. Rex was actually more of a scavenger than a predator, which I have to say makes some sense given their teensy arms. I leave it to the paleontologists to sort out, possibly with a caged deathmatch. SCIENCE FIGHT!
Ahem.
Today is the day I take myself on a Valentine date. *primps hair* I’ll report back on the Wolfman tomorrow.
Oh, also, yesterday I goofed. Fellow Razorbill author Suzanne Young is signing tonight out at Cedar Hills Crossing. The Princess loved her book, The Naughty List, and Suzanne is a ton of fun. If you can, go out and show some love! I don’t know if I’ll be able to get out there, but I’ll be there in spirit cheering her on.
Before I take myself on a date, however, I have to make a stab at a short story. 5K, five scenes 1K apiece. This is going to have to be careful, delicate surgery, my dears, requiring gallons of caffeine and lots of staring into the distance, turning the story over inside my head before I draw and make my cut.
Wish me luck.

Yes apparently the T Rex was not a scary evil predator but ate dead food like vulchers.
Good luck with your short story, what are you going to write about ? Something spiritual or scary like Ghosts

Woot! I just met Suzanne a few weeks ago (at the SCBWI Winter Conference in NYC) and she is AWESOME!

Did you go to Suzanne’s signing tonight? I was there but I don’t think I saw you there
