Blog book giveaway:

My Monday book giveaway is PINK by Marilynn Griffith.
My Thursday book giveaway is THE PREACHER’S DAUGHER by Lyn Cote
You can still enter both giveaways. Just post a comment on each of those blog posts. On Monday, I'll draw the winner for PINK and post the title for another book I'm giving away. Stay tuned.

No Camy: Not blogging today. I'm doing work. Have fun talking about me behind my back.

Snickers is cute when she's sleeping. Too bad she's such a butthead when she's awake.

Well, I haven't been blogging for most of the week either. Lost a Word file on Monday (I know I saved it but didn't put it in any particular folder--that'll teach me) but I was pretty well out of my head with pain in my right arm from fingertips to back.

Then I tried to install my new printer which also turned out to be a disaster with me hanging on the phone to the techs for over 3 hours in all and still not being able to use all the functions, especially the one I need most: scanning. So I've mainly been trying to get rid of the pain since then. As soon as I type too much, it flares up badly again. The document was about 15 pages long. I do *not* fancy retyping it all.

Anyone with any ideas on how to track this is welcome to have their say. I've looked up all the *.doc files, and the beginning of the name of the document followed by *. One of my brothers suggested I try *.doc* in case it's doc1 or whatever. I haven't had the heart to do that yet. I hate to face the fact that I just might have to do it all again. At the moment, uncertainty is bliss.

With a few twists, the word verification could be the German word for "onion".

You're right she is very cute. How old is she? Any hope she'll improve on being a "butthead"? But even at that you love her, right?

Hope your writings going very well.

Hope your *writing's* going very well.

I've really been writing a lot of gibberish lately--"noggle" instead of "nodded"? Maybe my mind is finally going completely on me.

Oh, I got Marta's books on Thursday. I'm having trouble getting her site in order to thank her. I'll try again in a minute.
as if we would talk behind your back??? as if!

seeing as you're one of my favorite people, likely the only thing that would be said while you aren't around is how freaking awesome you are.

Love you!
Awww, she's a cutey even when she's awake. LOL! Poor puppy...mommy's picking on you again. Go lick her, Snickers! Show her how cute you are!

Brainstorm - character occupation

Captain's Log, Stardate 03.23.2009 Hey guys, I could use some help. In my current manuscript, The Year of the Dog , which is a humorous contemporary romance, I have a minor character, Eddie. He’s my heroine’s ex-boyfriend, and they’re on good terms with each other. He’s a bit irresponsible, but not so much so that he’s a complete loser. He’s got a very easy going attitude, he forgets to pay his bills sometimes, he’s friendly and charming. He’s adventurous and fun to be around, but he’s a little forgetful sometimes, and he tends to spend a little outside his income. I need an occupation for him. What would a charming, easy going, slightly irresponsible guy do for a living? He’s not too irresponsible, because otherwise readers will wonder what in the world my heroine saw in him to date him in the first place. She was attracted to his charm, his easy going attitude (her family’s uptight, and he was a nice contrast), and his adventurousness. But his forgetfulness and irresponsibility ...

Lavender hand lotion

Captain's Log, Stardate 11.05.2009 I have to tell you, I LOVE Etsy.com ! Etsy is dedicated to providing a marketplace for people who like to make handmade products and people who appreciate them (and buy them). It has everything from handmade gifts (like my mom’s Bucilla Christmas stockings and ornaments and tree skirts and wall hangings and … well, just click here to see what she has! ) to soaps and lotions and jewelry and knitted items and hand-painted yarn and ... I could surf that website for DAYS. Anyway, lately I’ve been concerned about the lead content in my lotions, especially since I’m using them more now that it’s turned colder and drier here in California. I have to use lotion on my hands everytime after I wash them. So I went onto Etsy and searched for organic hand lotions, and bought this lavender lotion from Lue Cosmetics . What was really nice is that the owner, Jane, sent me a direct message via Etsy right after I made the purchase to ask if I’d received it yet and ...

Tabi socks, part deux

Captain's Log, Stardate 07.25.2008 (If you're on Ravelry, friend me! I'm camytang.) I made tabi socks again! (At the bottom of the pattern is the calculation for the toe split if you're not using the same weight yarn that I did for this pattern (fingering). I also give an example from when I used worsted weight yarn with this pattern.) I used Opal yarn, Petticoat colorway. It’s a finer yarn than my last pair of tabi socks, so I altered the pattern a bit. Okay, so here’s my first foray into giving a knitting pattern. Camy’s top-down Tabi Socks I’m assuming you already know the basics of knitting socks. If you’re a beginner, here are some great tutorials: Socks 101 How to Knit Socks The Sock Knitter’s Companion A video of turning the heel Sock Knitting Tips Yarn: I have used both fingering weight and worsted weight yarn with this pattern. You just change the number of cast on stitches according to your gauge and the circumference of your ankle. Th...

Chinese Take-Out and Sushi for One

Captain’s Log, Supplemental My agent sent me an article from Publisher’s Weekly that discussed this incident: Chinese Take-Out Spawns Christian Controversy And here’s also a blog post that talks about it in more detail: The Fighting 44s This is Soong-Chan Rah’s blog: The PCS blog In sum: Apparently Zondervan (yes, my publisher), who has partnered with Youth Specialties, had put out a youth leaders skit that had stereotypical Asian dialogue, which offended many Christian Asian Americans. In response to the outcry, Zondervan/Youth Specialities put out a sincere apology and is not only freezing the remaining stock of the book, but also reprinting it and replacing the copies people have already bought. I am very proud of my publisher for how they have handled this situation. The skit writers have also issued a public apology . (I feel sorry for them, because they were only trying to write a funny skit, not stir up this maelstrom of internet controversy. I’ve been in youth work long enou...
