My pumpkin exploded. LAME. I was like, “You couldn’t have at least exploded in front of or at/on Trick-or-Treaters?” And it was like, “[exploded].” It is too late to buy a replacement pumkin, which is LAMER.
Luckily, I am too distracted to be completely annoyed by this. What am I distracted by? The twelve page revision letter I got for Some Girls Are the other day. TWELVE! I really like emphasizing that part because I think twelve is an impressive number. TWELVE! It’s not quite eleven and it’s not quite thirteen! Whoo.
I’m happy to report it’s a great letter because I have a super fantastic editor. I am on page 36/263. Before I started revisions my book was only 254 pages. See what I’m doing there? It will be a neverending manuscript!
Anyway, here is the thing. I have a lot of work ahead of me and a deadline (December 1st!), so I am going to have to do some fancy time management. I don’t want to go into radio silence–LAME!–but here are some things you should know:
If you email me, it could take UPWARDS OF A WEEK for me to respond.
Please know that I am reading your blogs if I don’t always have time to comment.
If it gets quiet round these parts and you’re looking for me online, there is 100% chance I am tweeting!
As an apology for temporarily semi-breaking up with the internet, I offer you this picture of me carving a pumpkin in Hello Kitty PJ pants:
Yeah, that’s as much as you get to see. HOT, I know.
Happy Halloween, bbs!

Not just HOT but also AWESOME.
Ok– it’s official– you’re living my dream. One day I too will receive lengthy revision letters from someone who has read and actually gives a rip about my words!
BTW– Your pumpkin carving hotness virtually leaps off the screen scorching my eyeballs– in a totally non-sexual, simply affectionate “sistah” way of course. Not that there’s anything wrong with that…
Hang in there kiddo.
omg. you are in PAJAMAS!
best barry photo EVA!
poor punkin though.
I had no idea pumpkins could explode?
Your poor pumpkin. It was desperately trying to get your attention, I think.
I’ll do my best not to cry because you’re semi-breaking up with us, but I know it’s temporary. You’ll do great with your revisions! December 1 has got nothing on you ;)
Loving the pjs! And yes the pumpkin expolosion is lame. But these things happen. I will (as I’m sure you will expect) be closely following your semi-internet-breakup-twittering :)
SO hot. Like as in how DARE anyone else even TRY to pull off Hello Kitty. I mean, come on.
Good luck with the revisions–I’m sure all will go fine! Go, Courtney!!
I HAVE PUMPKIN PJ PANTS. But again, they have unimaginitive triangle-shaped eyes. Like ~*ME*~ wahahaha.
I really shouldn’t comment on blogs at 1:00am. *wipes blear from eyes* But srsly, I would have paid cash money to see your pumpkin explode. Ahhh, what a vlog THAT would have made.
**\o/** PWN SGA!!! **\o/**
*tweet*tweet*
Love the PJS!
You posted that picture because you can’t see your face, so nobody can actually prove it’s you, right?
BTW, how DOES a pumpkin explode, anyway?
Good luck on your revisions! I have NaNoWriMo and some other project deadlines this month too, so this will probably be my last comment for a while, unless I am procrastinating, which I really can’t do, or I won’t get stuff done … see, that was procrastination. If I use that for my NaNo novel, 50k words should come in no time. Now I just have to figure out something like that for my art. (kidding)
Good luck with your revisions, thanks for the fun picture, see you in December!
Annika: YOU ARE TOO KIND.
Sue: YES YOU WILL. And, dude, THANK YOU. I totally wanted to scorch people with my hawtness in a sistah way. YAY! *crosses off To-Do List*
tristian: hee. the first and last photo of barry in PJs. ~fin~
Vero: indeed they can. sob.
nova: IT MUST HAVE BEEN. because I kind of neglected it after I carved it. & re: revisions–I HOPE YOU’RE RIGHT.
starrynite: but why must they happen to me?! *sob*
Angela: AGREED. I am the only one who should be allowed in HK garb. And thank you!!
Emily: OH MY GOD. I NEED PUMPKIN PJ PANTS. YOU TRUMP ME. all these vloggable things happen to me when I don’t have the Flip anywhere near, I swear. THANK YOU FOR THE *\o/* bb! *\o/* *\o/* *\o/* FOR YOU.
Lisa: Thank you! :)
sruble: EXACTLY. and it just kind of goes sploosh. it’s not pretty. thank you for the good luck! GOOD LUCK WITH NANO AND YOUR DEADLINES! I’ll keep a *\o/* in my back pocket for you! Let you know when you need to be cheered on and it’s there, guaranteed. See you in December!
