Unplugging... just for a little while.

Hey everyone!

This new blogger layout has me super confused. I'm sure I'll eventually get the hand of it but geez... just when I figure out the old one they go and switch it on me.

Funny story. Last night I had my first softball game with a bunch of friends. We're a fairly athletic bunch so we thought... why not put together a softball team? Me and three of the other girls carpooled and got to the field twenty minutes early. Five minutes before the game one of the guys called and is like, 'Are you here?'

I was like, 'Yes, we've been here for twenty minutes.' To which he replied. 'We're on field six. Where are you?'

It took two seconds to count the fields in front of me, of which there were only three.

We were at the completely wrong place.

Yeah... we jumped in our car and drove like mad to the fields down the road. Only started like ten minutes late.

So anyways... I'm going to unplug from the blogosphere, just through the end of the week. I've gotten some great critiques back for The Cricket Project and am currently also working on a Contemporary YA collaboration with Jen Morris, not to mention all those other little life things that need to get done. I plan on making the rounds this weekend.

If you'd like a few words of understanding when it comes to the writerly world, click here to see my post which is up on our blog Falling for Fiction.

And if you haven't signed up for the 'Oh Those High School Dances' bloghop click on that cool little button Miss Emily R. King designed on the left side of the screen and sign up! It should be TONS of fun! :)

  2. I've ended up in the wrong fields before, too. It's a simple mistake. ;)

    Enjoy your time unplugged. I'm enjoying mine, though I'm really missing you guys!

  3. Good luck with the revisions, and Just when Blogger was starting to really feel comfortable: ERG.

    Totally coincidental, but the night they changed it, I wrote a post titled... Changes.

  17. See if that were me I would have gone to the wrong field on purpose so I wouldn't have to play softball. You are a better person than me :)

  19. I completely understand unplugging! (A-Z has kicked my blogging butt!)

    By the way, I didn't like the new blogger interface and was able to switch back (this was after the "forced switch"). Maybe you can too?

    Have fun with your friends! Glad you found the right field. :)

  26. Very excited for the blog hop ... I've been thinking about it. Need to sort through my old pictures!

    Hey, and don't feel so bad about the softball field. I do that ALL THE TIME with my kids' soccer games. It can be really confusing.
