And now presenting the world’s most rambly guest blog!*
So I’ve spent the past few weeks out of the Family Guy office because I’ve been on script, writing an episode that will probably make it to your TVs, oh, somewhere in late 2009 (if not 2010). Being on script is great because hey, you get to get out of the office, and if they work a late night there, so what, you’re already at home. Yay! Plus you don’t have to drive anywhere if you don’t want to and you can wake up whenever you want. It’s a pretty sweet gig when it happens, although I must admit that by the end of it, I personally can get a little stir-crazy. The heat in LA right now isn’t helping things (I’ve just been holed up at home with the a/c so I literally haven’t gone anywhere in days) and neither is the rather pathetic lineup of summer TV (I haven’t been watching anything regularly except So You Think You Can Dance. Well, America’s Best Dance Crew just started again, but it mostly just makes me miss Jabbawockeez).
What’s my point, you ask? Well, I guess that it’s nice to be able to do different things– if all I did all the time was write from home, without having an office to go to and people to interact with, I might go nuts, but it’s also so, so nice sometimes to be able to make your own schedule, writing when you want and chilling when you want. Of course, this is all about to go to hell, as I just got the deadline for my second novel and, um, it’s not that far away. Yikes! Cut to me spending the next few months writing all day with the rest of the Family Guy staff, and then coming home and writing all evening with my own self, and getting no sleep and being cranky all the time. Ah, good stuff. Hell, maybe I should be glad there’s no summer TV. Although the commercials for that show “Wipeout” have looked pretty funny…and okay, okay, I’ve been dabbling in “The Bachelorette”…and I just realized that VH1 is doing “I Love the New Millennium”…what was I talking about again? 
*may not actually be the world’s most rambly guest blog, because who knows, but still pretty darn rambly

I LOVE your book! I’ve ordered it from the US and got it shipped over to Sweden. Such a great book, hope you have a new one coming…? please..
I love She’s So Money. It’s amazing.
Her schedule sounds like mine during exams. You know how they always say to be well rested before exams? Haha. Yeah, doesn’t happen. lol. Mountain Dew is my life and it keeps me awake until all hours to finish studying, lol. :p
Great guest blog. :]
hope.
I love working from home!
I’m really interested in She’s So Money, but I haven’t been able to get a copy yet. I’ve heard a lot of good things about it, though.
I can’t wait to get a copy of She’s So Money. Soon soon! It looks amazing.
And working from home all the time might make ANYONE go crazy.
Good luck with the deadline. I hope it’s not too rough…and yes, caffeine is good. LOL Chocolate too because it makes you happy!

P.S. Kristi: I emailed you about next month…and am emaailing about something else in a second. Get back to me as soon as you can! Thanks!!!
Haha, I’ve been watching The Bachelorette too. It’s surprisingly good when bored.
I know what you mean about the LA heat. It’s just as bad in AZ. I haven’t left the house in a week except for getting food and appointments. And Wipeout & I Survived a Japanese Game Show look funny!

I won a copy of this book but have yet to read it, i’m dying to though. Me and my husband love Family Guy. When I won my copy of She’s So Money, I also got a Family Guy key chain. I had left the key chain on the dresser to add to my set of keys later. But when I came back to put it on, it was gone. I was looking all over for it…until I saw it hanging on my husbands set of keys. I tried to take it back but he begged me for it so I felt bad and let him have it. So you can see how much we love Family Guy =P
omg! writing for Family Guy, that is just awesome. I love that show! haha.
Anyways, that just little tidbit of you with the great reviews I’ve been reading about your book has definitely gotten me interested.
Can’t wait to read your book.
