Hope you'll stop by and tell me how it goes!<br /><br />Scillius: You, my friend, are a smartass. :)<br /><br />Storyqueen: Why, yes, I AM crazy. Thanks for asking. Hee.<br /><br />Stephanie: Yes, I can definitely see how visits would really be important for authors writing for younger audiences. I've started doing visits with teens, who are really my audience, so it was a lot of fun visiting kids who wouldn't quite be ready for my books--just visiting for FUN.<br /><br />Anita: I'm just glad I managed to get out. :)<br /><br />Kristi: That's just plain awesome. And I can't wait to celebrate that day too!<br /><br />Vivi: And this explains why *I* get you. Because I am exactly the same way!<br /><br />Barrie: I'd pay someone to get to tag along on one of your school visits. Plain and simple.<br /><br />ajmitchell: You are so right. And I'm a pretty proud mom too! :)<br /><br />Anny: *laughsnortchoke*<br /><br />Sherrie: An AVERAGE day in Carrieland. :)<br /><br />Suzanne: Well, the prop sword appears in the book, so I made one to show to the kids. And there's also duct taping in the book, so I was talking about how it's helpful to act things out when you're editing and...well, I DID. :)Carriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14859536090009308656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2303232661644308222.post-14617558477481434412011-03-29T14:06:00.618-04:002011-03-29T14:06:00.618-04:00Off the cuff duct tape?!?... you are kind of amazi...Off the cuff duct tape?!?... you are kind of amazing.
