My sympathy for your loss(es.)<br /><br />I, too, know the feeling of feeling too busy. It's rough; writing is how I unwind, and many days I can't get the time I feel I would like to unwind. <br /><br />Thanks for calling me a "good egg" -- that brings back memories of when I was a teen and we would say that sarcastically to each other until eventually it lost all the sarcasm and we meant it genuinely. My God, I don't know why someone didn't just run me over with a car when I was 17. <br /><br />A couple of other things:<br /><br />I've put up my own Blogathon Blogfest:<br /><br />http://www.troublewithroy.com<br /><br />And I tagged you or whatever:<br /><br />http://www.thinkingthelions.com<br /><br />I did the latter before coming over here to see how busy you were. So feel free to NOT be tagged, but I'd like to see 7 lines of Brother's Keeper, if only because you are like a crack dealer with your writing -- get me hooked and then up the price. Only your book is the crack in that simile, and you haven't upped the price, and a real crack dealer probably wouldn't get me hooked and then entirely withhold the goods. So forget I said anything.Brianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01616494058636881575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7658526372996117205.post-17590565200857932132012-03-13T14:39:59.901-07:002012-03-13T14:39:59.901-07:00L.G.: Yeah, it's hard to both keep your blog a...L.G.: Yeah, it's hard to both keep your blog active and try to write at the same time.<br /><br />Rusty: Well, you have some great covers out there to be remembered for. But, yeah, I know what you mean.<br /><br />Michael: I'm sorry for your family's loss as well. Right there with you.<br /><br />Briane is a good egg, and I like that he's so verbose. I mean, not only do I enjoy his long winded posts, but he makes me look downright laconic.Andrew Leonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13964775673414653644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7658526372996117205.post-55435572210491488742012-03-13T11:11:30.915-07:002012-03-13T11:11:30.915-07:00I had a tragedy in my family last week.

Now I'm a week behind. I'm sorry for your losses and hope that you find the time to catch up. I read the review. Briane (although wordy as all can get) had great words for you. He's such a good egg.Michael Offutt, Phantom Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10557969104886174930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7658526372996117205.post-76963510680109456432012-03-12T19:24:05.467-07:002012-03-12T19:24:05.467-07:00Sorry about the losses of late.

I find myself getting more and more swept up in all the peripheral things that go with writing -- like critiquing and blogging -- instead of actually writing these days.
