And I love the new blog color!

What a horribly sad situation. I can't even imagine what it must be like for the families that lost someone. When you hear about tragedies like that it makes you even more thankful for the good things in your life, so thanks for sharing about some of those good things.<br /><br />Love the new blog look. Blue is my favourite. :)Erin L.

Like I mentioned, there are all these things I'm excited about (I didn't even mention them all above) that I want to blog and cheer and holler about--but then I just can't quite bring myself to. I'm hoping this week I'll be more in the mood (and I'll be blogging regularly, too, with the Class of 2012 Blogfest). But I'm not totally down, and your comment made me smile. SCBWI is gonna rock! I'm very excited.

Like you, I find myself thinking a lot about these families who have lost someone and how hard this holiday season is going to be for them. I know my thoughts will be with them this Christmas and for a long time after.Jaime Morrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03023932422477544525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2671037899293269779.post-74805195548204076862012-12-16T15:16:42.156-05:002012-12-16T15:16:42.156-05:00Yes!

It's too bad because I really wanted to love it, but I had the feeling on a number of occasions when I picked it up that I should have just picked up <i>Jane Eyre</i> again instead. This is where <i>Jane</i> got it right as a contemporary retelling. It seriously gives me pause when I think about my own retelling of <i>Persuasion</i> (though I think I'm okay). :)<br /><br />P.S. LOVE the new look!<br />P.P.S. I am SO excited about meeting you IRL at SCBWI!<br />P.P.P.S. I need to stop using caps lock and exclamation points. :)Jaime Morrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03023932422477544525noreply@blogger.com
