Huzzah! Welcome! (Hope you're resting, but I know it's not likely.)

hey gbemi
did you say you had that crazy writer thing covered? I gabbled on email to my editor twice in the last few weeks and even pointed out how massively time consuming it is to nurse a baby...and then remembered that he happens to be male, so how would he know anything about that...he must think I am insane now...
gotto run...
love

:-) No, he just thinks you're a mother, and a fantastic writer. He may be a little nervous when you pop up in his inbox, though. :-) Just kidding, that's only *my* editor!

Yipee Gbemi!!! THanks for that message!!! I am feeling so crazy with joy today! And, of course, sleeplessness...but you know all about that...does it ever end? :)

Hi Padma! How exciting that you have a LJ now!
You know, I was fascinated by you when I met you at Chautauqua and you say you're an oceanographer? Well sweetie you better post more often because I want to hear more about you!
Welcome to Live journal! And congrats on ALL of your babies! Especially your little girl.

Angela!
Thanks so much for making me feel so welcome!! I am a bit shy - and I am a bit of a dinosaur (blogging seems so fancy to me) and I am also so terribly strapped for time these days with the baby and the book and the next book (which Penguin also bought and which I have yet to revise...)
But I promise to post more often!
Chautauqua. Lovely wasn't it? I remember you as a barrel of fun. You just seemed so cheerful and upbeat!

Pace yourself! Sounds like you're making wonderful things happen, keep up the momentum!

Welcome, Padma!! Hope you enjoy LJ :-D

Welcome to the community.

Thanks Sharon. I like your cat. I had a cat once. He was cute and plump though, not long and lean like yours.

The pose is very slimming!
He's actually 15 pounds of pear-shaped fur.

Sent this way by azang. Friending you and saying, "Welcome!"

YAY! Thanks. This LJ experience is like being back in High School - am I going to be alone at the lunch table??? :) Not a bad way thing to relieve I suppose, for a YA novel writer...
