Why hello again.
So I've been busy and not busy lately. The "not
busy" part stems from the fact that I have officially finished the new
book "The Extraordinary Secrets of April, May & June", so that's
been lovely. (I've decided that from now on, I'm gonna call it "AMJ"
for short. Consider this the official announcement of that decision.) This
means that instead of waking up and either running to or away from my computer,
I can stay in bed and not stress out.
People. STAYING IN BED IS AMAZING! And none of you
told me?! I think I'm part sloth now, and the only thing that keeps from
staying in bed all day is the fact that I drink too much coffee and the
caffeine jitters finally force me to move. Anyway, I love my bed. And wireless
internet. Now if someone can just invent a remote-controlled coffeemaker.
When I'm not being a lazybones in bed, though, I've
been socializing. In fact, I drove to San Luis Obispo this weekend for a
signing with Jay Asher (13 Reasons Why) & Jordanna Fraiberg Levine (In Your Room). Maybe
you've met them so you already know this, but those are two awesome authors and
I was privileged to get to hang out with them.
In fact, Jay is so awesome that he went home
afterwards and immediately posted a blog about our signing. He even gave it a funny title! I, on the other
hand, went back to my hotel, watched the last fifteen minutes of "Marley
& Me" and proceded to sob hysterically. (That movie is brutal.)
But I've had a little something else up my sleeve,
too. I decided to start a music blog.
It's not a big fancy music blog, and it's also not the kind of music blog that
will intimidate you and make you feel uncool for blasting "Islands in the
Stream" or "I Want It That Way" in the car. (I know I'm not the
only one who's done that. Uh, right?)
Instead, I'm just posting one song a day, usually a song that I'm currently in love with. I'll send updates via Twitter & Facebook, so hopefully it won't get too annoying. Tell me if it does. For now, you can ignore it completely or bookmark it and refresh it obsessively, whatever floats your boat, but at least check it out a couple of times.
THE SONGS THAT SAVED YOUR LIFE
And yes,
the title comes from a Smiths song, which is the first song posted on the site.
Go. Listen. Enjoy.
Hi Robin :)
Thank you for sharing the song.
I'm looking forward to AMJ. :)
Congratulations on officially finishing it!
:)
Love & Best Wishes,

Still loving the name of your new book and I cannot wait for it to be in my hands and read all the awesomeness. Yes, I'm already predicting I'm going to love it.
And yay for a music blog! I am a music whore so a song a day sounds fantastic to me!

You're really awesome for creating a music blog. It's just what I'm lookin for ;)
I want to stay in bed for a whole day...and read :D Speaking of which, I think I should get to bed.
And I will listen to the songs on your music blog :) The Gravel Road is very relaxing, I think so.
