Five Random Things About Suzie
1. I drink so much orange soda, it's probably running through my veins. I've been known to go through a twelve pack of diet sunkist in a day.
2. I'm legitimately nocturnal (or a vampire). I will be so exhausted at two pm that I'm falling asleep standing up - it has happened before, at Six Flags no less - but as soon as the sun goes down I'm wide awake.
3. I have a gorgeous unused $6000 Reem Acra wedding dress hanging in my closet, and it showed up on my doorstep the same day my (now ex) fiance broke up with me. And thank God for that. I wouldn't have wanted to waste that dress on him.
4. Social anxiety plagues me daily. I write a script and practice in front of the mirror when I have to make a phone call, but most people who interact with me have no idea how nervous I am (or perhaps they lie) because I've worked so hard to try to overcome it.
5. I'm actually worried that I will never love my children (when I do have them in the far off future) as much as I love my dogs. I just like animals better than people - they're sweet and innocent and soft and furry - is that so wrong?

Hilarious!
Haha! That's hilarious!
Very funny... but dang it if I didn't spend the next two hours watching the little movies that were related to this one at the end.
I have a feeling this little gem's about to go viral. This is at least the forth blog/site I've seen it on.
The bad thing is, once it does explode, I think it'll have the opposite effect of what the content intends, and spur many more people into self-delusion that they can write a novel easy, just to prove they can do it.
Oh, wow! That was hilarious! I think the pitch fork line was my favorite. Thanks for sharing!
I nearly spit out my dinner when she told him how many editors he'd get: "Minus 13"!
Oh, this is too funny!
I might be really tempted to play this video the next time one of my students asks me, "Why do we have to learn all this grammar and spelling stuff?"
That guy drove me nuts!
I think I met that guy at the last conference I went to. Seriously.
:) That was very funny. Full of truisms.
Hey I've met this guy...lots of times. I really like the brain surgery line.
Oh my stars! This is hilarious! The sad thing is there are people out there who think writing a book is that easy. Thanks for the chuckle.
So funny! I don't know how many times I've said, "That's not how it works," when people tell me they are writing a book and what their plan is. They look at me like I'm the nut! Thanks for the laugh. :-)
Definitely read his query. L.F.M anyone?
