I May Be a Little Hard to Reach for the Next Few Days
I'm busting my rump to finish a little project or two, so I may not be spending much time on the blog this week. (And it may take me longer to respond to any messages that are sent to me.) As always, this will only be temporary!

are you working on Darkness dwellers??
Believe it or nOt, I know a few of those from reading a Kit Kitterage American Girl book :D haha
interesting i wonder if its bad that an officer lives there and i wonder where the hobo's put the signs to warn other hobos and its pretty cool that they have there own languge!
XD that's hilarious they'll definitely come in handy one day
ah, the things one learns from American Girl Dolls. But in truth, you cant get more useful than Laura Ingall Wilder books- loved those!
Is the project the next Kiki Strike book?
Anonymous- same!
kit Kitterage... Come back soon unless its darkness dwellers then take as long as you like! ^.^
could it be darkness dwellers? or perhaps the next Enternal Ones?
I'm finishing the Darkness Dwellers.
YEY!!!!!! I am sooooo excited for Darkness Dwellers! I can't wait any longer. I will buy the book the first day it comes out. If I wanted to I could pre order it on amazon.
YESSSSSSS. I'm so excited for Darkness Dwellers!
Ahaha, yes, I also know some of these because of the Kit books.
YYYYYEEEEESSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can't wait until it comes out! When's it coming out? When will it be available on amazon?
I CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!!!

Yay yay yay!!!!! Darkness dwellers!!!!!!! Hahahaha yippee wow I am waaayyy too exited.
I think I saw this in a movie once.....
ehehehe
Okay, this is the third comment I've written on this post... but I just thought of an idea for a story that has to do with the hobo signs. Another contest, Kirsten? :) So, anyway, wouldn't a story that's about, like, a girl today that uses those signs be pretty cool? Must start writing! (see my blog for more story ideas I have come up with- I think of about a thousand a day)
I'm totally obsessing over the fact the the Darkness Dwellers is being finished! Yay!!!!!!
Wow, that was a long post.
Darkness Dwellers. Need I remind you that you promised me an advanced copy when it comes out? xD I'm looking forward to it a lot.
In italics, darn it.
OH MY LLAMA YAY!!!!!!!!! I AM SOOOOOOO EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Also, did anyone pull any April Fools Pranks? I got up at 1:00 in the morning, got dressed, put in my contacts, tidied my room, and started to eat my breakfast when my parents heard me. And know the pathetic part? Some part of me thoguht it was actually 6:30. I was peeved when I found out the real time.
Good luck finishing it, Kirsten!!!
First of all, I am so excited about Darkness Dwellers! And secound of all, how was April fools for everyone! My personal opinion is that as long as you never hurt, steal, truly humiliate someone, or do something really distructive or mean, pranks are usaully pretty funny.
I loved the American Girl books! Have you ever been on the website? When I was younger I LOVED it. (come to think of it I still do.) DARKNESS DWELLERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm rather psyched.
Thanks everyone for the Kit Kittredge film recommendation. I viewed it. I liked it.

Oh I've heard and seen of these! They were at the National Cryptology Museum. Yeah hobo's used these during the depression. Purty cool! Some of them are very interesting. :)
