An Author's Off Day(s)
Okay. So last blog, Peepy and I had pulled practically an all-nighter to finish our chapter book, BOBBY VS. GIRLS (ACCIDENTALLY) . . .

(I actually did the writing, and Dan Santat did the illustrations, but Peeps claims that everything was her idea.)

How did we celebrate? Why with Dot's Cupcakes, what else . . .


Later, it was time to do all those exciting and glamorous things authors do when they are not writing. Like laundry, paying bills, and this . . .


Um, that's Peepy at the grocery store. The dog poster scared her, so she tried to hide from him . . .


Then it was time to go home . . .

. . . where we prepped for out teaching gig at the Santa Monica Public Library this Wednesday. The last time we were there, we were onstage with the Fonz . . .

This time, we'll be teaching and talking writing with teens as part of . . .
Inspire Me! A Teen Writers' Workshop
An intensive workshop where teens meet with local writers, develop their creative writing skills, and get a chance to publish their pieces in a Teen Zine. Authors include Sonya Sones, Lisa Yee , Robin Benway, and Ron Koertge. .

Hope you all had a wonderful Independence Day! Peeps and I watched our hometown parade . . .


BTW, even though we have been known to eat non-healthy desserts, here's what I did not eat for 4th of July, courtesy of the website "This is why you're fat . . . where dreams become heart attacks."

Do you sometimes have to explain yourself when you photograph Peepy in unusual places?

The Fonz! Aaaaaayyyyyy! ;D

I've seen that "This is why you're fat" site, and I have to say some of that stuff tastes really tasty (others are kind of gross, of course).

When photographing Peepy, people don't ask, so I don't tell. (I think they just assume that there's something wrong with me.)

I do mean "LOOKS really tasty" (I haven't figured out how to grab food off a computer screen yet...it's a good thing).

Ah. South Pas 4th Parade! I'm sure it was kooky & charming, as always! But how do you get your mouth around a 20 (more or less) -stack stuffed oreo? Or do you just roll around in it, adhereing it to your hips that way?

The latter.

There's your next book: "Where's Peepy?" Or "Find the Peep," to avoid potential copyright trouble with Waldo. :>)

4th of July parades are the best.

Perhaps that's the book Peepy should shop around instead of her memoir.

There should be enough pictures for a complete book.
