NAFADOYBIMSCOM is over
And I failed! I am totally not done with the draft of my novel! Whoops!
In my defense, I spent a lot of November in Nashville and Birmingham and North Carolina and other places that are not "in my lay-z-boy." And I find it very hard to write when I am not in my lay-z-boy. So anyway, I hereby declare December NAtional Finish A Draft Of Your Book Or You're Screwed (NAFADOYBOYS).
In other news: Quite a few people have commented on the blog or sent me emails asking me to post the speech I made at the ALAN NCTE convention in Nashville. The speech is going to be published in "Booklist," so I can't publish it here quite yet, but if you email me (soundnfury [at] yahoo [dot] com), I would be more than happy to email you a copy of it. But anyway, you should read it in "Booklist." Also, you should read the Booklist Blog. It's the only blog I check every day, other than Lindsayism and, of course, Barney's blog.
Also, check this out: "There ain't nothing like a fly honey with problems."

I failed, as well. In my defense, I had a Dec. 1st deadline for my YA biography of Ella Fitzgerald. Now that that is off my desk, I'm ready.
Yeah, me too. I have to do NAFADOYBOYS, though, if only because it's easier to say the acronym. Also because of the Deadline. Aiieyeeeee.
Your ALAN speech was pretty fantastic. I'm excited to hear it'll be published! No censoring, right???
I finished one manuscript but the second manuscript is in critical condition. Thanks for letting me play. Good luck with NaFADOYBOYS month!
I managed 11 pages. Not bad considering I had zero before.
I'm in afor NAFADOYBOYS
although that sounds to me, if i say it fast, like, No! F**K do yr boys!
Which, I'm game for, too.
Either way, I'm in like flynn. And since my deadline is December 29th, I'd better actually finish.
i failed too. but only just! it'll be done by next monday. promise!
(shoots guilty look at publisher)
(looks at novel)
(cries a little)
(goes to put up christmas tree)
You are the king of hooking people up with YouTube clips! I checked out the Lindsay blog and watched Barney and Marshmallow sing LES MIZ and oh! I have a thing about that musical. At least once a year I go on a bender with the soundtrack.
I think I need to sign my bum up for NAFADOYBOYS as well.
thank you so much for coming to Little Professor in Homewood/Birmingham!
Psst! Look at the nice thing the Cybils did for Katharines!
