This is my 400th post on this blog! And next Monday it’ll be the Plaid Pladd’s 4-year anniversary!! I know lately I haven’t been as faithful about updating as in the early days, but at least I’ve stuck it out fairly consistently, even when I don’t have that much to say. I haven’t decided how to celebrate 4 years yet; possibly some kind of blog clip show where we reminisce about the posts that changed our lives? I’m thinking of that time Thomas made me drink Sun Drop mixed with Espresso Chocovine, obviously, since my tastebuds still have not recovered. What are your favorite Plaid Pladd Blog memories? Share them and I will compile a glowing tribute for Monday!! Get excited!!
In other awesome milestone news, I finally finished the first draft of the book I’ve been writing for the past 2 years, and working on for the past 12. It’s a little over 600 pages long right now, and I think I’ll be dividing it up into 4 parts. There’s still one more (hopefully quicker) rewrite to go before it will be fit to be read by some awesome beta readers (could this be YOU? Let’s talk later–I can’t make promises about how long a manuscript you’ll have to read, but I can guarantee that it comes with baked goods). Then I don’t know WHAT will happen!!! Probably nothing, but it’s exciting to imagine.
But for now, have to start preparing for Pi Day! Which, as you know, is serious business in the Ladd family.
