I finished the first 6 chapters of my dissertation, my goal before giving birth because the last 2 required new research. I turned them in on a Friday, went to bed, and woke up in labor, two weeks early! I guess my daughter was taking advantage of the slight lull in my internal stress! It all worked out, but man, what a year that was.Stacy Nyikoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07830844058919457619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-770331077089775301.post-49400961900411492212009-03-29T23:24:00.000-07:002009-03-29T23:24:00.000-07:00Cool.

People would ask when I was due, and I wasn’t sure which baby they were talking about! It is a tragedy the way the poor economy is hurting the book world. You’d think readers would want to escape into fiction.Sarah Laurencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00423008641739156182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-770331077089775301.post-58354779306449230472009-03-26T07:04:00.000-07:002009-03-26T07:04:00.000-07:00Okay, Bee, I just have to ask!

That's just too curious a thing not to ask about!<BR/><BR/>Vodka Mom, in my perhaps jaded opinion, there aren't any general good publishers.

I love going back to places that are really layered with memories.<BR/><BR/>There are a couple of fantastic book festivals in England -- (one in Oxford that I miss every year by being in Texas) -- and I always think that when I am liberated from school runs I will be an avid participant. Congrats for being a part of it.Beehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02375981493145612394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-770331077089775301.post-2222714477848775242009-03-26T00:39:00.000-07:002009-03-26T00:39:00.000-07:00Congratulations!
