Our agent: “ps- you’ll all just have to o.d on extra Marshmallow Peeps and Cadbury Eggs to power you through… “
Now I want peeps. I have peeps in the pantry, but I can’t have them, because they are pure sugar. Mmm, peeps.
I let the diet go in France, because France, and now I am starving. It doesn’t help that the grocery delivery won’t be here for a while so I literally have no vegetables in the house.
Gordon is off doing root canal. They didn’t do it last time because he didn’t want to travel with it, so they ended up just working on the other trouble spot. I ordered him some apple sauce and chocolate pudding.
Hungry.
In other news, my foray into the Story of Yanxi Palace continues. Yesterday I informed Gordon that the honored emperor must not be so strict with the eldest daughter, because she is a kind and filial child. He did the perfect impression of the emperor and waved me off.
Trying to juggle the schedule today. This usually happens when we come up for air after finishing a book. I’ve gotten to the point where all the deadlines and projects are like a massive load of laundry that I have to carry from a dryer. I keep suspecting I dropped something.
Copyedit of Sapphire Flames date set. Revision for the Sweep of the Blade set – target date is now June.
Copyedit for Sweep of the Blade is scheduled. Need to do something about audio.
Hugh #2 is pushed to December to make room for HL #5.
Comic people are being talked to.
Film people are being talked to – don’t get excited, film people are always being talked to and then nothing happens.
Amazon people have been talked to.
Polish people finally sent the interview.
Father wants to visit in June, must make plans.
Rare London tickets and reservation need to be made.
HL website needs updates; bought Illustrator to draw circles.
Made myself some white tea, so far not helping. Brandi is off today. She needed an eye exam and her eyes are too dilated to do anything.
I wonder if filial older daughter would code me some CSS animations for the HL website.
Still want peeps.

Ilona, I just saw this wool yarn blending clip on Instagram and it mesmerized me for 9.5 minutes! https://www.instagram.com/tv/BwK-6sInZMz/?utm_source=ig_share_sheet&igshid=13q3ogh4c0tgm
Gordon, I hope by now your root canal is healing well. I recommend To insist the dentist X-ray the roots really well next visit to make sure infection didn’t go down into the jaw bone. If you start having unexplained fatigue and generally feeling like crap months later it could be infected down into the jawbone unknowingly to you.

Not sure if recommendations are good here bud since you’re watching one, Nirvana in Fire from 2015 is awfully good. I think it’s on Netflix, too
Jackie says
Instead of movie people, talk to tv people…just a fantasy but a Kate Daniels tv show would be AMAZING!!!

So glad you enjoyed Paris. I just finished A Mere Formality. So good. I wish you would consider a series. Thank you for the free writings. Thank you for all your writings.
Tiffany says
Hope you visited Notre Dame when you were there. Very sad.
sarafina says
RARE London looks fun. I’ve been to England in September, the weather was nice. So since you went to Paris, will your publishers track sales to ensure the trip was financially cost-effective and send you other places in the future? I see RARE conventions are everywhere!!!
Christine Evron says
Why does Sapphire have 3 reviews giving it 3 1/2 stars on Amazon? Feel free to delete post after you read.
sarafina says
Some people who visit Amazon.com are nuts. Did you hear about how fake reviews were trying to destroy the Captain Marvell movie before it came out? That website changed its policy when that happened, since obviously trolls were at work. Since IA books are all 5+, the same trolls seem to be at work on Sapphire.
Gabrielle Roberts says
I don’t understand how they are able to write a review, I thought you had to actually buy a product before you could review it. Since it hasn’t been released, I thought it wouldn’t be possible?
Angel Mercury says
If your agent is trying to shop around movie/tv rights they should push on Netflix or Amazon. Streaming series are very successful and have a good balance of budget to quality and those two are trying hard to out do each other. I could see most of your series working well in that format. Of course this is assuming those kinds of talks go anywhere, but shoot for the moon and all that 🙂
Leonard says
If you are looking for something that will consume more time than it should you could try The wandering Inn. Its a web serial thats on Royal Road and its really really good. Completely different genre as its a bt of a lit rpg series, but I really can’t put it down… Its got mystery, tension and pure epicness.
Its about a quirky normal girl who gets transferred into a world where there are levels and classes and she ends up opening an Inn and just trying to survive.
Its worth a look at
Bliss Crimson says
LINK! I love LitRPG. 🙂
Tasha says
Mmm…Peeps…haven’t had any in years since they’re strictly a no-no for diabetics. Used to put them in my tea instead of sugar cubes… Ah, to be young and silly again! ^_^
At least you got to go to Paris and hopefully see Notre Dame before it burned. Regretting that I didn’t go last year!
Jean says
So totally off the Peeps thread, but I just finished “Burn for Me” (I know, late to the party….!), and I keep seeing Kylo Ren (Adam Driver) as Adam Pierce. I think it’s that voice – he could do a reading of the Manhattan Yellow Pages, and I’d want a front row seat…..!
Bliss Crimson says
I think you should watch the youtube that shows how peeps are made. 🙂 Peeps! They were originally made by hand and it took super long time. Now it’s an 8 min process. Maybe you should make a one time Easter basket, and just have it for Easter? Even on diet you could find just a little wiggle room. How many calories is a peep? You should have a 100 calor snack mid way between meals, so you could factor in one or two peeps during the day. Good luck!
