I am officially done with copy edits for THIRD GRADE BABY. Now it’s in the hands of those super talented people at FSG who take a manuscript and make it into a book.
They do stuff like choose a font and…ummm…well, i have no idea actually. Book design is a complete mystery to me. The only thing I know for certain is that I am extremely excited to see my book!
I am also excited for Fall!
It is my absolute number one favorite season. Just this past weekend the weather turned brisk, and I had a very strong urge to buy school supplies. Unfortunately, I no longer need school supplies. I do get to buy office supplies, which I enjoy, but it’s not quite the same as the big back to school shopping spree I had back in my elementary days.
Maybe one day I’ll write about a character buying school supplies.
This fall, however, I am going to go back to school. Some wonderful teachers and librarians that I have agreed to let me into their classrooms and libraries to practice my school visit presentations. I am very excited for this opportunity. I’ll be sure to post more as the time draws near!
Hmmmmm…I wonder if there is any such thing as school visit supplies…
I think I wrote this post and then you stole it from me–because this is exactly how I feel about fall!
I LOVE fall. Of course, I’m talking about the San Jose version of fall, which is warmer than in other areas. But still, bright blue skies, colorful trees, a change in the air… I love it!
And I get so bummed about not being able to buy school supplies. But this year my husband is teaching so we’ve been getting lots of supplies. Yay!
Hi Cheryl,
Gosh, there are so many great things about fall I don’t think I can even list them all!
-halloween
-turtleneck sweaters
-apples
-visiting the cider mill
-my birthday
-the crunchy sound of dried leaves
It seems so wrong to be excited about summer ending, but I can’t help myself. I just love Fall that much!
