ELIZABETH ON THE LOOSE

I just signed a new contract with my publisher, HarperCollins. Thanks to their patience and understanding, I'm two months into a sabbatical!

I don't have a book due until October 1, 2009.

If I had Lori's emoticon skills, you'd see backflips, champagne fizzing, balloons floating, and smiley faces all over the place. But I don't, so you'll have to imagine those things...unless Celeste can drag some out of the ether. ;)



What am I going to do with the next ten months? Travel, clean closets, travel, edit my way-too-big library, travel, and READ. And travel--did I mention that?


That means I'll be popping in and out of Quills without warning. No set days. No twice-monthly blogs.

I'm not just being lazy. Really.

The places I like to travel don't have uplinks. I mean, what's the point of traveling if you do the same things you do at home?

But don't worry. I won't forget about y'all. I just won't be in touch as often.
