It's the tech stuff in advance that made me pull my hair out. I'm still trying to figure out how to make pages on my blog. LOL <br /><br />It is disheartening when a line you are writing for folds.

I remember I have a blog about once a quarter. Or less... For the record, it's common knowledge that I murdered the Irish Eyes line, since my second Mulligan book was the very last of the line. So you can't take credit for that assassination. I get that one. :-) What other lines did we kill together?Deb Stoverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14273185830853401029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2183201547392787469.post-56724858970048057872011-08-17T21:42:03.608-07:002011-08-17T21:42:03.608-07:00Well, as a friend of mine used to say, Pat, it'...Well, as a friend of mine used to say, Pat, it's either kill myself or go bowling, y'know?Alice Duncanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04617808704864502171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2183201547392787469.post-78244529116350469602011-08-17T19:54:50.463-07:002011-08-17T19:54:50.463-07:00Alice, your blog cracks me up.

I sure don't make a living at it (but don't tell anybody). I guess it's either laugh or kill yourself, y'know?<br /><br />Thanks, Bonnie!<br /><br />Thanks for that, Jacquie. Oddly enough, when I first tried to sell stuff, I was rejected for being too dark. Go figure. I honestly don't think I could write dark stuff now if I tried.<br /><br />Yay, Ann!

The most important thing was to let your hair down and let 'er rip, then fix it later. I was trying to write very dramatic stories but reading one of your books (don't ask me which one--I never remember titles!) showed me that I was trying too hard to fit others' expectations, and that humor is a good thing. So thank you for that, thank you for writing great books, and thank you for this blog.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.jacquierogers.com/" rel="nofollow">Jacquie</a>Jacquie Rogershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17361793932364487636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2183201547392787469.post-80660368872866654092011-08-17T13:09:23.980-07:002011-08-17T13:09:23.980-07:00Congratulations on the new blog, Alice, and upload...Congratulations on the new blog, Alice, and uploading your back list! woo hoo!Bonnie Vanakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00049125038286905202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2183201547392787469.post-419354879838206702011-08-17T12:39:33.383-07:002011-08-17T12:39:33.383-07:00Alice, you're my hero, um heroine?
