i'm back!

questions: where have i been? what have i been doing?
answers: Hogwarts. drinking butter beer.

sorry for the long blog break. i was on vaca in my happy place - Walt Disney World. i also spent a day in the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, which was shockingly packed with muggles. Voldemort would have been horrified by the sight.

so from now on, if anyone asks me what i did when i got my book deal, i'll be able to say, "I went to Disney World!" (i mean, the trip was already planned, so it was just good timing, but i'm still going to say it.)

i've also been reading reading reading. i don't know if this is the case for everyone, but one of the best little surprise benefits of being on sub for me was the stack of free books! and nothing like a few long plane rides to make a dent in that stack. i'll be working my way through the pile over the next couple of weeks, so i expect a few "best lines" posts are coming.

also to come: a post about the "stuff i learned on sub" and some NaNoWriMo fun!

i hope to post every day this week to make up for the blog silence. for now i'm off to unpack and do laundry. (in Disney World, these chores would have magically disappeared. le sigh.)
