Has It Really Been Three Years?

When Heather suggested we do a Third Anniversary week a while back, my first thought was, "It can't have been three years!" On the one hand, it feels like no time at all. On the other, it doesn't seem possible that everything that's occured since the Buzz blog started has been crammed into three short years.

A lot of crazy things have happened in this time, from meeting up with all the Buzz girls (and Marley on a Stick) in Dallas, to giving a workshop to a crowded room (with Tina and Steph sadly missing), to sharing in the triumphs and tribulations that are a part of any writing career.

But mostly what happened was books. Lots and lots of books.

Sometimes, as writers, it's hard to remember the good things. Our writing lives are full of deadlines and reviews and copyedits and changing editors or agents or both. Of worrying if we'll ever get another contract. Of worrying if we'll be able to fulfill the contracts we have. Of late night Googling when you might find your first awesome review... or your first awful one.

When you're bombarded with those kinds of things, it's hard to think positive. So I'm going to do it for us. I'm going to put the last three years into a nice, neat little perspective.

In the three years since the Buzz girls first became, well, the Buzz girls we've produced 20 books. That's 20 books between the seven of us (past and present). And that doesn't even count the ones we have on the way (which is at least another half dozen).

TWENTY BOOKS!!!

Now that's something to be proud of.

Okay, now to be entered to win your choice of a copy of OH. MY. GODS. (paperback) or GODDESS BOOT CAMP (hardcover) tell me something you've done in the last three years that you're really proud of.

Hugs,
TLC

Today, I Am A Slacker

I wasn't going to post at all. I was just going to pretend that I wanted to keep the Valentine's contest winners up front longer... but guilt got the best of me.

So, instead of totally slacking, I'm going to point out the we Bees have just upgraded to the new Blogger template (yeah, I know it's not really new anymore). That means we can have our follow widget out there on the right (scroll down a bit, you'll see it) so that anyone who wants to can just click to follow us!

Also, I changed out our covers from a Flickr widget to Library Thing which is so much cooler and let's you go buy the book on Amazon just by clicking the cover! How cool is that? (You'll note that some of our covers--like Goddess Boot Camp, Never Cry Werewolf, and Ghost Huntress #2--aren't showing up. That's because they don't have covers on Library Thing yet. But they'll be there soon!)

I hope you enjoy our upgraded blog. (Now click FOLLOW! You know you want to!)

Hugs,
TLC
