<\/p>\nDropping a quick note to say hello. Thank you to everyone who sent me well wishes for my Birthday. They were much appreciated. I even got a few email cards from people I don’t remember every speaking with. Weird. <\/p>\n
Miss Snark<\/a> has offered up her time and is letting people submit a Synopsis<\/a> (1000 words or less) until Dec 25th. I wanted to submit something but haven’t finished my plot outline and don’t want to rush something and have it grace the fine halls of the Crap-o-meter as a fine example of why it’s call the Crap-o-meter in the first place. I will have to make a page of useful research links but for now you can find them on the side bar menu. Just a few days until Xmas. I hope you are all doing well, have your shopping done, and are excited about your gifts.<\/p>\n :hugs and kisses: Kimi<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Dropping a quick note to say hello.
