Seriously? Honey, how could you possibly "screw up?" Be your own wonderful self, be honest, smile as much as possible and be sincere in your thanks. That's all there is to it. I'll give you this: tell 'em that one of your readers has fallen in love with your characters and finds the pace of the book stimulating, the plot intricate and interesting, all while being a fun and enjoyable read. Yes, you can quote me on that. ;o)

*grins* I have a "Kermit arms" (YAAAAY!!) .gif that I use as an avatar on a couple of forums in which I participate. DAMMIT! I got the Amazon ping, too, and it just torques me! Why must they torture us so?? I'm enjoying the book but it's slow going. The typeface is a lot easier to read than some - poor NCcharmer, I have her wonderful book but it's so hard for me to read (stoopy wonky eyes) that I can do only a page or two at a time (with 2.5 readers) before my eyes hurt so badly I have to stop. I need one of those "sheet" magnifiers; maybe that would help. Now, what does it tell you about how quickly I'd had to scan the online version that I didn't remember Ari's haircolor?! ;o) (I think I love her!) Thus far I'm getting a lot more from the plot than before and I'm liking it muchly. :o) Hope Thursday will treat you kindly. *hugs*

Is it any wonder I always loved Statler and Waldorf the best? ;o)

By Winnie-Wonka on Apr 12, 2012 at 12:11 AM

FINALLY! Your book has been ordered from Amazon!! *Kermit arms*

By Winnie-Wonka on Mar 30, 2012 at 6:43 AM

I hear ya - got yet another ping last night. I don't think it's *ever* going to be released. :o( Things here are about the same...STILL waiting for the IRS but at least now I know what the problem is, and it isn't on our end. That's good, at least, but still no ETA on the moolah, dammit. Meanwhile, spring has sprung several weeks ahead of schedule. Weird weather. Hope all's good in lionland! *hugs*

By Winnie-Wonka on Mar 14, 2012 at 6:11 AM

Good morning, and dammit! Got a ping from Amazon about our movie - preorder now! Yet again, no release date. Why must they tease us so? *sigh* Still no tax refund, either and no ETA for that. Otherwise, things are okay. Hope all's well with you. Happy Humpday! *hugs*

By Winnie-Wonka on Mar 3, 2012 at 10:09 AM

Thank you for the totally splort-making b'day LOL! Oh, that face!! I appreciate you taking the time to remember me today. Happy Caturday! *hugs*

By Winnie-Wonka on Feb 24, 2012 at 3:54 PM

Wow, you hooked me up fat - thank you! Lots of stuff is already rehomed to happy recipients. :o) I'm starting to wish now I'd gotten a movie to watch tonight; I still haven't seen The Wolf Man (with Anthony Hopkins) or Red Riding Hood...or the latest Depp thing...maybe I'll just throw in the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory Blu-ray *AGAIN* and call it good. *lol* Been snowy and bustery up here...don't even wanna know how nice it is down there. I'm curious why you need a pal on your side for the book - reviews? Sales? Inquiring - nay, caring minds wanna know. *snorglepurrs*

By Winnie-Wonka on Feb 23, 2012 at 3:05 PM

Your collectibles are now officially complete - I begged the last few Yaris things you needed from Nccharmer. Sure would appreciate it if you'd send the extras you don't want back. Did some checking, still no damned release date for "our" movie - WTF is up with that?? Why must they tease us so?! And still no refund check...the waiting, it is the suck. Hope all's good with you. *Megalon hugs*

By Winnie-Wonka on Feb 6, 2012 at 6:40 PM

The tax refund is being processed - I will soon be able to order your book, YAY!! I'm looking forward to curling up with it in my comfy chair and really being able to get into it without my eyes feeling like they're about to bleed. :o) Okay, now I beg. We can now send multiple gifts to the same person, so any of your extras you want to unload I will gladly and gratefully take off your hands. I'm jonesing especially hard for dead birds, unrolled TP, flowers and Sketchy Bunny eggs. Please and thank ya! Hope all's good with you. *hugs*

By Winnie-Wonka on Feb 2, 2012 at 6:58 AM

Oh, curse them for the dashed hopes! JA says I can have The Rum Diaries for Valentine's Day. Think I'd rather just rent it instead. Finally got Charlie and the Chocolate Factory on Blu-ray for Yule and I'm still too busy enjoying that to get into much else. Ah, Willy...! *hugs*

By Winnie-Wonka on Feb 1, 2012 at 10:03 AM

That is cool news - my mom and I often watched those movies together on Saturday afternoons and I've got *good* memories there. I just may have to have this one - you're right, it's a piece of shit but it's a great POS! With liberal applications of alcohol it just gets better and better... *hugs*

By Winnie-Wonka on Jan 30, 2012 at 7:32 AM

No prob. I buy the book, you email me your addy, I send it to you, you sign it and send it back. More steps but an easy enough thing to accomplish. :o)

By Winnie-Wonka on Jan 29, 2012 at 9:59 AM

So...which ordering method gets an autographed copy...? *lol* No toolness - you've had a lot on your mind, after all. As for reviews, no problem. If you'd like a sample: ~ http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/jedsongs2/from/roughedge ~ Hope Sundog's being good to you. *hugs*

By Winnie-Wonka on Jan 28, 2012 at 5:57 AM

Here, here! to rubbing Meyers' face in the mud! Love the cover art. Just waiting for JA's W2 to come in - once the refund is in the bank you *know* a copy of your book will be in my hands! Want to get Nccharmer's book as well. Goota support my cheefriends! (And reading yours will be soo much nicer in print; it was hard for me to read it on my monitor so I'll be able to get much more into it and write you a good review.) *hugs*

By Winnie-Wonka on Jan 26, 2012 at 6:49 AM

Okay, y'know, if I'd been paying better attention I would have remembered the timeline. This getting old stuff sucks swampwater - I gotta make a list for EVERYTHING these days. My case of CRS had turned into CRAFT. (Can't Remember Shit & Can't Remember A F**king Thing) As for the collectibles...you still have your 20 coins? You could go ahead and get what you still need then I wouldn't have to worry about it. :P Yeah, I know, they don't really matter but you've been a big part of cheezlife for me for a long time and I just want you to be covered. :o)

By Winnie-Wonka on Jan 24, 2012 at 9:44 AM

You're welcome again - gotta get your sets filled! I just read your profile info - on, no. That sucks out loud. How long ago was all this? You okay? You've got my email if you need to vent or just need a shoulder. I mean that. *hugs*

By Winnie-Wonka on Jan 22, 2012 at 9:22 AM

Thanks. I just spewed coffee all over my keyboard. I would pay good money to see you in that dress - and I'll even buy you the shoes!! Seriously, thanks for the giggle. You freaking rock. :o)

By Winnie-Wonka on Jan 21, 2012 at 8:20 AM

You're welcome! Say, if you're not gonna wear that dress... ;o)

By Winnie-Wonka on Jan 19, 2012 at 9:11 AM

You has a CORM! S'pose you could maybe spare an extra Exercising More for me to pass along? Hope all's well in Sin City!

Just a little thanks for me gusta. Yes.

By Winnie-Wonka on Oct 6, 2011 at 8:57 PM

I don't wish the man ill for what he said - I get where he's coming from with it. There were about, oh, a million other ways he could've worded it. Dude, you're a published author and it's a really cool story so you're already my hero. :o)

By Winnie-Wonka on Sep 28, 2011 at 8:48 AM

That sooo reminds me of my Morty - he will make an utter fool of himself for a potato chip or french fry. Thanks for sharing the feel-good! :o)

By Winnie-Wonka on Sep 26, 2011 at 11:19 AM

LOVE the defender kitteh! Although these days I'm feeling more and more like Chief Joseph: "I will fight no more, forever." *sigh* I am sooo glad Sin City agrees with you! I've never been but it's on my to-do list to visit. (Cheap air fair through Allegiant.) BOC is playing Boulder Station again in November, so if I'm working by then...cheezmeet!! You just keep on being happy, y'hear? :o)

By Winnie-Wonka on Sep 12, 2011 at 11:08 AM

heh heh heh* I saw what you faved there.

By Winnie-Wonka on Sep 5, 2011 at 10:58 AM

I think it's a VERY good sign. That's how I felt when I visited a small town in WA called Elma. I don't know what it is about the place but I want to be there. I'm glad you've found the place where your soul can settle - it's gonna do amazing things for your writing!

By Winnie-Wonka on Sep 4, 2011 at 6:53 AM

Vegas?! Holy crap, dude, that's one helluva change in scenery! Good for you. :o)

Thanks for the binocs - the better to see you with, my dear. ;o)
