Flirting with Exhaustion

I finally finished the 480 pages of my first legal thriller yesterday at six pm, after yanking out the middle and redoing it. Then I had to get up at 6 a.m. to go help out in a classroom filled with first graders.

Owning a first grader of my own, I was very afraid.

The kids were terrific, though, and way more awake than me. I had tons of fun listening to them read and explaining what an author is, though most of them seemed to take a sort of “yeah, right” attitude to my professed career. My favorite response?

“You can’t be an arfer. You’re not dead.”

Trust me, after this week, I feel a little dead. So I have absolutely nothing fun, except a quiz to tell you which SERENITY character you are – go here.

Or the GORGEOUS cover of my July, ’06 chick lit, SEVEN WAYS TO LOSE YOUR LOVER. (you have to scroll down a bit)

Or the website of the very talented Charlaine Harris, whose Sookie Stackhouse southern vampire mystery series I just discovered.

Me? I’m going to bed.

Hugs and happy weekend,
Alesia
