Hello, ladies ...

The famous Old Spice commercial -- Sesame Street style.

I've been a bad, bad internet friend ...

... Because, despite my best intentions, I just haven't been able to keep up on posts even on LiveJournal, let alone Facebook or Twitter. I don't see it getting better, either -- not if I want to finish polishing my latest novel and get it off to an agent and/or publisher. Finally selling one (no, still no release date on Storm Chaser) has lit a fire under me: If I sold one I can sell another, and if I can sell another I can eventually do it for a living, but I need to put the time in.

( But the reason I wasn't online much last week wasn't related to writing challenges ... )
