They say that creativity is messy… and genius is even more so. If that’s true, then judging from the state of my room, I was being pretty ingenius today.
Costumes are scattered pretty much everywhere. The finished ones are hanging up neatly, but the random scraps that I’m working with are piled all over the floor along with books and tons of papers, while random piles of weaponry accumulate in the corners. Oh, probably best not to mention that last bit to anyone… :)

Out of Darkness Rising awaits further editing on my computer. I’m just itching to get it finished and I’m so excited about the alterations I’ve made thus far!
I also have about a gazillion ideas for posts that I can’t wait to do on here. Quite exciting stuff… but I can’t give it away yet. Just rest assured that there will be some pretty awesome posts up here soon.
But first, I have to film this book trailer. Two more days, a billion things to do, and two more costumes to finish with a dozen odds and ends to tie up… Whew! We’re coming down to it. I am super thankful for all of the folks who will be helping me film this weekend!
And then, life will be normal again. Or about as normal as it gets with me around. Life tends to jump from one ginormous project to another. I like to dream big, but the problem is, I’m usually not content with just dreaming. I like to put my dreams into action.
Which is how I usually wind up in a mess like the one in my room right now! :)

Squeeeeeee! I wish I could see your room – i'm a weaponary afficionado. That costume looks so cool! Soooooo looking forward to seeing this book trailer – can we get some extracts from Song of Leira too? Pretty please?
Also …. sorry for the extended vowels. It only happens when I get excited, honest! xD

Oh no, I'm glad no one can see my room right now – but the weaponry, that's understandable! :) We're filming tomorrow! Praying for good weather. I'm definitely excited about seeing the finished project soon!
Hmm. I'm afraid Song of Leira is going to remain TOP SECRET for a while longer. I'm in the middle of the rewrite now and once that's finished, I'll hopefully be able to start querying! :)

I am going to go ahead and add you to the list (on Homeschool Authors even though your book isn't out yet. Would you like to do an interview? Feel free to send me a e-mail or leave me a comment with you e-mail address (I won't publish it) and we will work it out.
Sarah.
