BUT. That’s not what this blog post is about!

This month, there’s a ton happening! I’ll be signing books twice in Indianapolis and once in Chicago – check the events page for dates and times.

I’ll also be hosting at least one contest and one giveaway, beginning on July 18th. BIG SECRETS will be revealed. COOL PRIZES will be given away. Trust me, you want in on this!

The biggest thing happening this month by far is that I’m handing in the revisions for the sequel to Claire de Lune. It’s coming out in May 2011. Speaking of which *looks over at piles of pages* I’d better get back to it.

1. I was working on the new book.
2. I was tired.
3. I didn’t watch the State of the Union address, so I have no savvy political commentary.
4. Don’t worry, I have it DVR’d.
5. The kids were being cute.
6. The kids were being cranky.
7. I got distracted by something shiny.
8. Rear Window was on BBC, and I have a policy of watching that movie whenever it’s on.
9. Did I mention the new book?
10. I don’t have anything cute to say about the iPad that hasn’t already been said.
11. It’s too cold.
12. I ate too many cookies.
13. I didn’t have enough coffee.
14. Space aliens took over my website as part of an effort at inter-galactic domination  and they wouldn’t let me post.
15. Okay, that last one wasn’t true.
16. New book! Writing! Lots! Really!
17. I couldn’t find my car keys. (The two-year-old took them. They were in the refrigerator.)
18. I wasted too much time following interesting-looking links on Twitter.
19. You know you can follow me there – @cjohnsonbooks
20. I was busy critiquing.
21. I’m reading a really boring book and it’s taking up too much time but I’ve  been a real slacker at book club lately and I think I need to step up my game this month.
22. That last one was true.
23. Sequel-writing took up too much time.
24. I’m lazy.
25. Lists are more fun!
