I’m a busy girl today

Posted on by

I’m blogging over at The Knight Agency blog today about Vampires and how it’s ironic that I write YA Vampire stories when the one book that freaked me out more than anything was about vampires…

And Dana and I are into day three of our training at Fat Chicks Running. Pop over and see how we’re doing.

In the writing world, I’m actually doing some reading. Both Maria and Louisa have Nov. 1 deadlines, so I’m going to be busy this weekend reading their manuscripts. Then it’s back to writing, writing, writing. I guess it’s a good thing that the only thing that doesn’t really hurt on my body is my fingers, huh?

Don’t be a pussy wimp.

Come on. Pledge to get active. You don’t have to be stupid and pledge to do a half-marathon. You just have to pledge to get active and post about your progress either at FatChicksRunning.com or on your own blog.

C’mon. The only thing you have to lose is weight. Oh and maybe low self-esteem.

what have I done?

I’m not quite over the fact that yesterday I announced that I was a Fat Chick (chances are you knew that, but for some reason me saying it makes it feel like I’ve suddenly taken the filter off your eyes and you’re seeing me AS I REALLY AM FOR THE FIRST TIME!)

It burns! Look away!!

Not only that…I also announced, IN WRITING, that I was planning to start training for the Little Rock Half Marathon. And you all saw it.

As a matter of fact, according to my stats on FatChicksRunning.com, a lot of people saw it. I guess it’s too late to take it back.

Crap.

Fine. I won’t take it back. But I will say that maybe you should be worried about my sanity because right now I’m on deadline for LOVE SUCKS! and I’m shopping a new proposal (Ironically, it’s very closely related to the whole ‘fat chick’ thing I’ve got going) and I’m also contemplating returning to the workforce until we sell the house in Oxford. Oh, and then there’s the holidays… and since I’m doing this training…I won’t be drinking booze for a while.
I better damn well get big fat endorphin high off this running thing, that’s all I’m saying.

Gee Mel? Glutton for punishment much?

Have you got big plans this weekend. I’m going to my friend’s house tonight for some chili and booze (it’s my last hurrah) Bitchy Burns better be ready for me…

I may regret announcing this but–

I’m a Fat Chick. It’s true.

Not only am I a Fat Chick…I’m also going to be 40 years old in March. I’m not afraid of 40 (actually I’m looking forward to it) but I do NOT want to be a 40 year old Fat Chick.

I also don’t want to ring in the 40s on my fat ass…so with that in mind:

Please join me and my pal Dana at FatChicksRunning.com

You can read my epiphany and how I hoodwinked Dana into joining me here.

You can join us and blog with us if you’d like…just leave us a comment.

Or you can just follow us as we journey down this torturous path. It’s not going to be pretty. But I’m pretty sure it’s gonna be funny.
