Oh, I love a nice drag-out fight. And a nice literary discussion. And a book battle!

Here are two links if you like those things too:

The Tea Cozy discussion of the Disreputable History's Morning News zombie round is very good. 

The brackets are up for the SLJ Battle of the Kids Books, and Disreputable History squares off against We are the Ship. 

In other news, since you all said you wanted to hear about the writing life on this blog:

I am drinking a peach smoothie. 

I am at my desk.

I am not writing today but dealing with administrative nonsense (missing 1099; school visit schedules; some charity stuff; backed up email). 

I am kind of stuck on Roo4 but there is an amusing scene in which Ruby talks to a mailbox. 

It is due all too soon. 

The How to Be Bad paperback comes out end of April. 

I have some video I should edit from our tour (a year ago, practically!) but iMovie 09 is not my friend and also I am lazy. 

I am having fun on Twitter. 

I am reading The Graveyard Book and trying to learn from its awesomeness.
