Although I may be the only one. ;) I had to leave you guys for a while to chauffeur kids around to their various activities.<BR/><BR/>Okay. About your question, Word. Was the book emotionally draining to write? Not really. I mean, yes, I felt anxious when Sherry and her mother didn't get along. Because I have, on a few VERY RARE occasions (ha!), been in that same predicament with my own kids. But I knew they'd work things out and that they were very happy to have this strange chance to be together again.<BR/><BR/>Actually, the second book (I So Don't Do Spooky) was more emotionally draining. There are more family/people relationship issues. Without giving away any spoilers, my editor said she even teared up when reading it. <BR/><BR/>Hope this helps. :)Barriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04678698296265168217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-262683133067234581.post-74825122530741851622009-01-15T21:47:00.001-05:002009-01-15T21:47:00.001-05:00Oh shoot, I think I got here too late but Barrie.....Oh shoot, I think I got here too late but Barrie...I did show up.

As a mother, did you find it hard to get in the zone of the mom's voice. Even though this sounds like a humorous and fun book, I wonder if it was at all emotionally draining at times?Wordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11619452785558039000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-262683133067234581.post-58591085801333410312009-01-15T20:38:00.000-05:002009-01-15T20:38:00.000-05:00Not burritos - pan friend steak and roast potato w...Not burritos - pan friend steak and roast potato with a salad - romaine dressed with balsamic vinegar and olive oil.Dave Fragmentshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17985158361431606939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-262683133067234581.post-20592841136637911592009-01-15T18:57:00.000-05:002009-01-15T18:57:00.000-05:00I guess everyone is now having burritos for dinner...I guess everyone is now having burritos for dinner.<BR/>Yum.<BR/>;-)Chris Eldinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11794946908789120139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-262683133067234581.post-3424912679439410192009-01-15T17:27:00.000-05:002009-01-15T17:27:00.000-05:00Speaking of cold, I can remember living in Quebec ...Speaking of cold, I can remember living in Quebec and covering my mouth with a scarf because it hurt to breathe the cold air.
