I should mention that the end of the writing portion of the witch book also corresponded with my reaching the end of my notebook! In my interview over at Incendiary Lit, I mentioned that I always write in composition books. However, I didn’t mention that I decorate said composition books first. Look, I will admit it: I am obsessed with Mod Podge. Whoever invented Mod Podge should be crowned queen or king of the world. I would probably Mod Podge the walls of my apartment, if I wouldn’t have to pay a ton of money in fines. Here’s a photograph of the notebook in question:
My notebook -- finished!
Ah, sweet notebook. It’s served me well since 2006, through two NaPoWriMos, many frantic research sessions, and the entirety of this manuscript. I’m sad to see it go!
I thought I would also post Gertrude Stein’s reaction to The Siege in the Room and to the boxes which must seem especially ominous to her poor feline eyes:
Obvious Pun Here.

Wow, how industrious you are! Not only are you writing and blogging like a demon, and driving Gertrude Stein the Cat into hiding, but you design your own notebooks, too! (I’ve never heard of ModgePodge, but I’m about to click on your link.) I feel so slothful in comparison.
I’m sorry to hear of your publishing drought — it baffles me, actually. Right now I’d be happy if only I’d hear something.
