That's as good as you get because I don't drag out my paint as much anymore. I haven't "painted" for quite a while.Wendy Sparrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06240583852940769313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7589253886068784629.post-54954618117301848182010-01-22T15:04:44.312-08:002010-01-22T15:04:44.312-08:00That's me in the painting, Amber.

It was hard to get the dragon to hold still long enough to do the self-portrait, but you can see that it was worth it. :) Yes, the profile pic is me laying on the ground surrounded by leaves. (Apparently, leaves make me laugh hysterically if the picture is anything to judge by.) I've seen a lot of literary agents recommending you have a picture of yourself on your journal as it makes you more approachable... and so on. Since my campaign to inspire fear is on hold, I thought I'd go for it. Plus, I honestly think I look fairly unmemorable, so any stalkers would have some difficulty locating me.Wendy Sparrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06240583852940769313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7589253886068784629.post-57833520856677681952010-01-22T14:25:41.884-08:002010-01-22T14:25:41.884-08:00You have a profile picture!

But...*sniff, sniff* where's Honor and Reeve? This is one of my favorite parts of number 3. Reeve is so yummy.

Are there little pins that say "I heart Reeve" that I can get? Seriously?<br /><br />Ahem.<br /><br />Okay, really, that painting is spectacular and you should hold a contest where you give away a painting of yours... (HINT -cough- HINT)<br /><br />And that blurb. Wow. I loved it! Loved loved loved it! I am willing (for YOUR sake, of course... teehee) to read one of your stories...! I dont know how much critiquing I can give, but I would do a little bit for ya so long as I get to read a book of yours =]Natalie Murphyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01116611923169722657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7589253886068784629.post-79903941273912907202010-01-22T12:27:43.002-08:002010-01-22T12:27:43.002-08:00LOL.

Here is the email I sent from the bus stop to Diana:<br /><br />Re: Today<br /><br />Sucked hardcore. Oh good it's raining on me on my way to the bus stop. Because we haven't done THAT this week! Dear rain, bite me. Seriously. It's cold. It's raining. I've been eating crackers all day to avoid hurling--this day just needs a big hairy rejection to really kick it in the crotch. Grr. This headache is probably a tumor. Plus, the bus is late. Dear bus, bite me. Seriously. Do you think generic hatred of all things that live, breathe, exist is a sin? Stupid bus.<br /><br />What fresh hell is this that I've stepped into today? Brain is going to explode. I swear, if the husband gave me the flu, I'm punching him in his sleep. Finally bus is here.<br /><br />Sent from my iPhoneWendy Sparrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06240583852940769313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7589253886068784629.post-26949723418247586662010-01-22T12:16:09.719-08:002010-01-22T12:16:09.719-08:00I agree with Catherine, the title of the book is u...I agree with Catherine, the title of the book is utter hilarity!! Love it and the painting is gorgeous.<br /><br />Reeve and Honor at their best. Honor's voice is distinct and clear as crystal. Reeve is Honor's perfect match. I love how they play off each other. Perfection :)<br /><br />Glad you're feeling better, and I'm sorry that you're email made me laugh, I could NOT help myself.
