JESSICA THERRIEN: Writing World: Festivus!

First thing's first...HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME! I'm turning 21 for the 6th time today :) Turning 21 never gets old. I'll be staying in my pj's ALL day and forcing my husband to do baby-related things when he gets home (muahaha). Oh, and by "baby-related things" I don't mean what you think I mean! It's a tad embarrassing that the thing I wanted to do most on my birthday was put the cradle together and start planning the nursery. What can I say? My brain has been re-programmed to ALL THINGS BABY.

Second thing's second...Writing World. What have I been up to? Aside from re-reading/line editing Uprising, I've been making my way from one festival to the next. It's been awesome...but HOT! Preggers+heat = sucky. BUT...I have been having lots of fun despite the temp. It's hard not to have fun when signing books for fans. I'll never get over it. It's by far the best part about being an author.

Last weekend I attended the Big Orange Book Festival, and this Sunday (Sept. 30) I'm off to be a part of the OC Children's Book Festival. It's like Festivus around here I tell you! I'm actually REALLY excited about Sunday. Not only will I be signing books at the YA Authors Corner, but I'll be on the YA panel at 11am with some great authors!! AND...to top it all off, I get to hang out with two of my favorite author buddies, Sheri Fink and Bethany Lopez. Bonus!
