Today's depressing news item for all striving, yet-to-be-published writers out there: Tori Spelling just signed a deal for her third book.
God almighty. I don't like to be mean, but does anyone out there believe that Tori Spelling has even read three books?
I'm sorry. That's not fair. Maybe she reads all the time. Maybe she wrote the book herself, and it's awesome. And maybe that's a pig that just flew past my window.

People, I need some feedback about the calendar. Yesterday, when I went to plug all the spring events into the calendar, I realized there were—no joke—about 400 entries.
On one hand, this is great news. It means that we have a thriving—nay, bustling!—literary scene around Indy. On the other hand, my brain withered a bit at the thought of all that data-entry.
I will do it . . . if you actually read the calendar. The thing is, I don't know if anyone does. Can you help me out? Can you de-lurk just long enough to answer this multiple choice question in the comments section?
Q: Do you refer to the Lit Events calendar?
- I do, and I LOVE IT!
- Never. Well, once, but I don't like to talk about that.
- What Lit Events calendar?

I love it deliriously in theory, but in practice? B.
The real question is how many Tori title puns are out there. Once those are exhausted, I have to assume the books will be, too. (Right? RIGHT?)
I get a lot of lit notices from Facebook groups or via email, so I don't check the calender that much. I'm with Traci re: theory, of course, but...
Save yourself. I read the blog and that keeps me up on the happenings. And I think Tori Spelling is an avid Book Choy reader.
Bryan, I love the calendar! I refer my students to it. I realize it's a lot of work, but it's a valuable service!
I do, and I LOVE IT!
