Gentle Readers . . . and Maxwell,
I have returned to my kidnapped state in the snow and cold to Coffee Chat about editing with S.K. Anthony and Lynda Dietz at Easy Reader.
Please join us and be sure to wish Lynda a belated happy birthday. We have learned that we share a birthday (it was Sunday), and we might be triplets because I have a twin.
2 + 1 = 3
I'll look for you at Lynda's house.
Infinities of love,
Janie Junebug
P.S. And I promise MOVIE WEEKEND will appear -- as long as we don't have another Operation El Gato.
My motto as an editor: Authors are the authority on their work. I'm a full-service editor. For a reasonable fee, I'm your writing coach from the first suggested revision to the correction of the final typo.
Enjoyed the second chapter of the kidnapping!
ReplyDeleteYou have a twin? I love finding out new stuff.
ReplyDelete-andi
I kinda sorta have a twin, but she's a real person.
DeleteHave a fun weekend Janie!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Beth. Stay warm and dry.
DeleteOne other thing I forgot to mention about kidnapping victims. Not only are they supposed to keep you warm, they are supposed to feed you chocolate and anything else your heart desires. Remind them.
ReplyDeleteShelly, you are one of the most intelligent people I know.
ReplyDeleteWhen I was a kid, I napped a lot. See, we have something in common too. Operation El Gato... What did I miss? What did I miss?
ReplyDeleteLook back at posts from the last couple of days and you'll learn all about El Gato.
DeleteJanie, you're the best kidnapped victim I've ever had. Thanks for being such fun, Dear Queen of Grammar! :)
ReplyDeleteKatherine, you're adorable. You can kidnap me anytime.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know you had a twin! Double trouble? Were you? When you were kids (pun intended, grammar mistakes not).
ReplyDeleteWe didn't know each other as children. In fact, we still haven't met.
DeleteI also have a twin of sorts. Her birthday is exactly a month before mine, and we always told people that she took all the good pigment when she came out, thus explaining why she's so dark and I'm so pale. Wish I hadn't waited...I could use a skin color that doesn't reflect light nearly so well.
ReplyDeleteWe loved having you for Coffee Chat, and are packing up all the warm clothing donations even as we speak. We can wait until grape-harvesting season next time. You'll like the smell better than the live chickens we used to warm you up this time before the coats arrived.
Yup. I think you may be our triplet. I'm so pale I bear a strong resemblance to Caspar the Friendly Ghost. During high school, I was in a photo printed in the school paper. My face looked like a white blob in the center of the photo. My twin was born very late on Feb. 22nd, and I was born very early on the 23rd; but we were born the same year. The chickens were interesting. I continue to pluck feathers from my hair and I found an egg in my bra.
DeleteChocolate and warmth?? I wanna be kidnapped!!
ReplyDeleteNot if you're kidnapped on a warm sunny day in Florida!
DeleteWhat is your heritage that you are so fair? I should probably know the answer. German?
ReplyDeleteSome German on my dad's side. However, my dad had black hair and a very dark complexion. My mom's family was ALL Norwegian. She was part of the first generation born in America. I probably get my fair skin from them. Many of them have red hair, too. (My kids have auburn hair.)
DeleteI read your interview. I'm so glad you were treated well over there! I'm sure you'll read my comment, but I'll add it here, too. When I am finished rewriting my manuscripts, would it be okay if I hire you to edit them?
ReplyDeleteI would be honored, Mama.
DeleteEnjoyed seeing you over there. And how dare the Queennap you. OH well it all worked out in the end.
ReplyDeleteThank you for recognizing my Queendom.
DeleteOh no! I missed the kidnapping--but will read up now. :)
ReplyDeleteI won't miss your birthday now next year. You are in the birthday list!! ;)
YOU are on my calendar.
