Noelle - Day 216 (Info, Doodles, and Hug)

Hello!
So today is just kinda one of those posts where I was like well here's some stuff...and there's some stuff over there....and some of this stuff...yeah let's call it a post.  Why not.

So starting off with boring admin stuff:  Other authors, I'm going to be talking about this a bit more later, but if you have a post?  Just make it 365.  Some of you guys...I dunno...seem almost timid like 365 is some kind of big thing (???)  Maybe its just the way I'm reading your emails.  Anyway, if you have a post, post it.  If there's a post by me already scheduled, just schedule if for the same day.  I can bump everything a day over.  No prob.

Also, this has been nagging me for a while - If you're new, hi!  I'm Noelle, I do most of the posts around here.  You might be wondering about the daily annoyances  posts and why every posts title has a day?  We're in the middle (actually, past the middle but whatever) of a challenge that I made up and really shouldn't have followed through on - to post everyday for 365 Days.  If you have any questions, you can comment by clicking on the title above, or you can click on the link below that says "read more here" or even the one below that which says "no comments".

If, new readers, you were interested in becoming an author - hint hint - you can email me or comment here.  We could always use some help, and there's no pressure to post (although you will become part of the "Noelle's-Really-Fed-Up-By-Being-The-Only-Active-Author" email list)  Please contact me if you're interested!  (or want clarification on what being an author would mean)

Okay, now for the doodles.  My friend (hi Alisa!) and I were discussing what Jess would look like as an adorable little six year old and I was like HOLD UP let me find some paper I'm drawing it.  It didn't really turn out like I wanted, but I think I did...okay...I guess.  You tell me.

Starting off (NOOOO DONT MAKE ME DRAW THE FACE PRESSURE AAAAAH)

Anyway it quickly turned into -

Inked, shaded, and still no complete face.

And after that, it wasn't long before it was finished!  Call it a weird doodle, but I just wanted to share it with you....for some reason.  *shrug*

Fun fact that will be talked about in the book but eh:  Jess's hair is actually blonde.  But black seems to be preferred by the readers, because that's what she had it dyed as in Book One.  Whatever.

So we had the info.  We had the doodles.  Now...its time for....A HUG!!!

I just wanted to give a blanket thank you to all our amazing authors!  A lot of you are in high school and are stressed out most of the time (I know I am) and some of you even have a separate blog (Jillian and Madison, if you want, you could comment with your blog links)  And despite that, I'm not the only one posting (*cough* finally *cough cough*)

But seriously.

I sent out one slightly annoying email (sorry guys) and boom!  Somebody else is posting every few days!  You guys are great, and I hope you know that.  You're in my prayers.

And to all the readers:  You guys get a hug too!  Not just because you follow us, or because you comment and are, and not even because you put up with my weirdness on a daily bassi, but because you're just awesome people.  I don't know what kind of day you're having, but I hope I made it a better one.  :)

Have a great day, don't forget to comment, and I'll see you tomorrow.
