It's about to get epic in here ...
Okay, guys. This is going to be one loaded post and I have about five minutes to do it. So let's do this!
1: This is my 300th post (merits thrown confetti)!
2: The awesome Laura Barnes interviewed me over the weekend. If you missed it, check it out here!
3: The Publisher's Fair was great. I got to meet folks from Ceder Fort, TM Publishing, Deseret Book, and JollyFishPress (who pulled me in for a picture).
Chill'n with Team Jolly Fish!
4: Here's the New Member Shout-Out for the week (if your name is not linked, I could not find your blog)!
Lisa Otto
and
Thanks for joining The Cosmic Laire. Welcome aboard!
5: The blog's header is new, but not official. We're working on making the site better. Wish us luck!
6: I wanted to take a moment to thank everyone for your continuous support, copious comments, and contagious enthusiasm. You make me want to be a better writer (and person) every day. Thank you!

Update: Remember that goal I had last week? Ha! Only got two chapters in before life decided otherwise. It looks to be a repeat of last week for this week, so I'll do what I can without making promises. Looking forward to getting this blog back to its normal routine this week, participating in Mark Koopmans "Got Green?" Bloghop, and hanging with local peeps at the first ever Writers and Cheesecake event. How's that for a big week?
