| I'm baaaaack! |
HELLO, blog buddies!!! My blogcation is finito. It’s GREAT to be back. Though it was very pleasant some days not having to wonder what to blog about, I missed all of you a lot. Thanks to everyone for sticking around! Somehow I even gained a few new followers, for which I am very happy and grateful. Welcome to Wavy Lines! *waves to you new Zigzaggers*
NaNo was as much fun as ever, my novel sucks just as much as my others, but I think the suckage is improving (ha!). I love writing a novel when I know thousands of others are doing it at the exact same time. I know we novelists are writing all year, too, but it’s different in November when you know for sure you’re not alone for thirty days!

| This used to be the coolest cell phone to have. |
My blog’s facelift never happened, obviously. I don’t have the programs to do it, and I’m not really liking Blogger’s new template selections. So it looks like we’ll have to put up with my same old blog until I get a new computer…which won’t happen until my current laptop dies. (OMG, I hope I didn’t just jinx it. *knocks on wood*) I have a PowerBook G4, which Apple doesn’t even make anymore. It’s four months shy of being 8 years old. My OS is Lion. I know, I know, it’s ancient, but I love my baby! I’m not easily lured in by shiny new things. I take good care of and keep what I’ve got until it’s dead and gone. That’s probably why my closest friend is my BFF from kindergarten and I ended up marrying the boy I had a crush on in 2nd grade. And I still have a hot pink Motorola Razr flip phone, which is only my second cell phone ever. Do you see a pattern here??
Okay, okay, enough rambling. I know some of you really missed my blog’s weekly quotes (Saumya, I’m talking about you!), and my regular scheduled posting will be back next week! I’ve got some good quotes and prompts and fun ideas to share with you. I enjoyed my blogcation, but I’m happy it’s over too!
Tell me what’s new with you! Anything exciting happen last month? What have you got going on this weekend? Who has a book releasing Winter or Spring 2012 so I can add your awesomeness to my Must-Reads page?
Happy Friday and happy writing, Zigzaggers!!!

Welcome back!!!! Nothing really new for me (except WRiTE CLUB...make sure you check that out). I'm also working on improving the suckage of my book. (Loved that). :)
Great to have you back. I have just done some brainstorming and planning and plotting my trilogy.
Hi Laura! Why would you redesign your blog? I like the way it looks.
And if your laptop is 8 years old, I am amazed.
nice to see your stripes =)
Hey Laura! Congratulations on the NaNo win. Welcome back.
Welcome back Laura! Not much happening with me except I got Kindle which is proving to be more fun than if I were a kid in a big candy store!
DL- I did see that! Looks very cool. I'll stop alluding to it now. That's just as bad as talking about it. ;)
Rachna- That's awesome! Good luck with it and have fun. :)
Diane- Thanks! I still want a zebra theme, of course, but something different. Eventually! And yes, my laptop is nearly 8 years old. I got it a couple months before graduating from high school. :)
Tara- Thanks! I hope you have a great weekend. :)
Alex- Thank you! My dad was surfing around my blog the other day and he's very interested in your book CassaStar! He thought it was cool I "know" you. :)
Bish- Ooo, sounds like Santa came early to your house! Have fun with it. :)
Hey, welcome back and congrats on the Nano win! That's awesome. :)
I'm entering round two of editing, so I'm pretty much planning to drop off the face of the earth. *sigh*
It's so nice to have you back, Laura!
I also try to take good care of things and make them last. I'm not the type that runs out and buys the next new thing. If ain't broke, don't fix it, right? (Unfortunately, I have family members who buy me new things, and it just messes that up!)
I love the zebra look of your blog!
Way to go on Nano!
Miriam- Thank you! It was a good month. Good luck with your editing! I'm posting quotes tomorrow about revision that you might want to check out for motivation!
Shelley- Exactly! That's how I feel too. I just bought my first new zebra purse in six or seven years because I'd spilled hot cocoa on my old zebra one yesterday. I didn't realize I'd had it for so long! I wish it hadn't gotten ruined, but I guess it was time for a new purse anyway, LoL.
Kelly- Hello and welcome to Wavy Lines! Thanks very much! The zebra is my favorite animal. :) Thanks for stopping by and commenting!
Yay, you're back. :D
It's amazing what a blog vacation can do to your follower count. The same thing has happened to me too.
My family and I cleaned the house so we could put up the Christmas decorations. We're ahead of schedule this year. And I FINALLY took down the Halloween wreath. Yeah, I know. That's pretty sad. :D
I love that you keep things for a long time! I'm the same way. I like to say "we can squeeze more life out of it."
Welcome back :D
Stina- Lol, at least it's down now! It's nice to enjoy Halloween though. It seems like Christmas infringes on that spooktacular holiday before it's even arrived. Glad to hear you're in the Christmas spirit sooner than you expected!
Julie- I hear ya! It's good to keep things as long as possible. It creates less waste and helps me appreciate what I've got!
