We arrive at Mrs. Kelly’s house to discover the strong smell of paint fumes coming from the front door. Mrs. Kelly’s husband, Mr. Kelly, is painting the hallways a lovely ‘Bicycle Yellow’ courtesy of Home Depot. He’s wearing a gray t-shirt that shows off his huge muscle-y arms and a pair of hideous green work [...]
I’m writing in this colour today because I am rather sick. On the second day in McDonough, I managed to catch a lovely cold. I wasn’t terribly effective at serving at all the projects but I did manage to get one done. The rest of the time was spent being a gopher and taking pictures. [...]
My book is currently in the UK being illustrated. And now I wait. And think of new things for new book.
However, I am currently in McDonough, GA helping out with some rebuilding of homes here. Yesterday I got to help landscape a lady’s house. Today I watched men reroof while I picked up their garbage.

You’d think it would occur to me to get a snuggly chair for my library. Nope. I finished editing sitting on a dining room chair and I paid for it.
But I’m done editing!
There was some stressful situations but of course the ever lovely Kathleen fixed it (did I mention she’s brilliant? and she’s only 24! [...]
Seeing as how no one is asking me any questions (ie: no fanbase yet), I thought I’d ask myself a question and then answer for you.
Dear Ms. Kelly,
Do you ever get tired of your book? I mean, do you ever just want to chuck the whole thing and just go get a latte?
your greatest fan
Dear [...]
You’d think it would be fun. And it is. Kind of.
Actually, it’s tedious because you have to go from her edits to my original so I can make the changes. I was tempted to just retype the whole thing, but then I realized that in some places there were chunks missing and that’s not good [...]
I know I’ve mentionned that I’ve written poetry.
I do have a blog filled with my poetry but I don’t want to link the two. And no, the poetry blog is not under my name because I don’t want it to be read.
No, that’s not right. What I mean to say is:
Ok. I’ve written a [...]
Have received next batch of editing from lovely editor.
Am waiting until tomorrow. My bed is too lovely and comfortable to get out of.
I don’t think it’s a good idea to ask me any questions about royalties. Because frankly, I don’t understand any of it.
I do know that I got a cheque two weeks ago. The first installment. And there was a honkin’ amount missing. Naturally, I freaked. And then after a venti soy no water no foam [...]
I seriously don’t know why the lovely Kathleen puts up with me. She is so lovely and wonderful. I should probably stop bragging. One day I am going to steal her away from Zondervan and make her my special literary agent/roomate/editor/best friend person. She’ll live in my mansion. In the other wing with her family.
This [...]
