Still not much going on, people! I don’t know if I should be thankful to be this bored, honestly. Probably thankful.

Next week, I’ll be getting first pass pages in the mail to proofread. I have been waiting for this moment because it’s the last step I have to do before Fall for Anything is published, which is AWESOME. It’s kind of like saying goodbye, but not really. Except yesterday I was looking through the word doc and I am pretty sure I discovered a typo that no one caught, which means it will show up in the ARCs. This is why I tell people to hold onto the ARCs. I pretend those typos make them VALUABLE, instead of just something that happens with ARCS. Valuable, I say! Like diamonds! Also have I mentioned I should be sharing my cover soonish? I can’t wait.

Just FYI, I’ve updated my contact page. If you have a request, make sure you check it out. I’m crunched for time lately and I’ve had to reluctantly weed out what I am and am not available for. I wish I could do everything, but if I did I would never write another book and that would be just no good unless you hate my books and then I assume you would think that’s great.

Anyway, the reason for this blog entry is that I took out my camera again today and I wanted to show you all a local attraction:

THAT, my friends, is The Shoe Tree. Everyone around here knows of it. Or wait. Anyone who is anyone knows about The Shoe Tree regardless of where they live. Let’s try this again. YOU GUYS, THAT IS THE INFAMOUS SHOE TREE I AM ASSUMING YOU’VE HEARD ABOUT BECAUSE WHO HASN’T? And if you live under a rock and have never heard about it, it’s a tree with a bunch of shoes nailed to it. Do you have quirky attractions where you live? I bet they are not as awesome as a tree with a bunch of shoes nailed to it.

I also took these photos. WOULD YOU BELIEVE THEY ARE TOTALLY UNTOUCHED? No, you would not.

I seem to take a lot of cow and bird pictures but it’s rural Ontario, so there you have it. Cows are great. I love birds. We have two of them! A budgie and a cockatiel. My budgie was biting the heck out of my index finger as recently as yesterday because he is so persnickety. Trivia: in the original draft of Fall for Anything there were a lot of dead birds. There are no longer any dead birds in the manuscript. RIP Dead Birds. Further trivia: the other day at my cleaning job, I saw a dead bird and it made me sad. :(

Seriously the most uneventful summer ever. But seriously, I’m not complaining!
