OOOOH!  July 16th.  makes it a good 33rd birthday present for me or as a reward if I don’t have a heart attack on the three day walk!  To sum up my excitement allow me two words.  FUCK YEAH!

Minx,
That was one syllable. Not a word.
I’m a stickler for Scrabble rules.
Take your tiles back and you lose your turn – and now I know who has the Q.

I’d like to say that I summed my excitement up in one word because I’m verbally economical. Of course the truth it’s because I’m doing 50 other things and didn’t have time to really WRITE more words.

Yes, it is about time. The only other author I can think of that takes as long as Ms. Rowling to finish the next book in the series they are writing is George R. R. Martin. He has been working on A Feast for Crows for a long time. Of course he also managed to alienate a (vocal) minority of his readers by placing a John Kerry banner ad on his site. No, I’m not kidding. Some people have said they refuse to buy his next book because he is a John Kerry supporting Democrat. 

I have yet to meet anyone who has (vehemently) said they would stop buying Orson Scott Card’s works even though he has jumped on the “Oh, look chapter 9 verse 5 of the Quran proves Muslims are evil

Your Dad still laughs that no publisher in America would touch the stories and that Scholastic Children’s Books have made millions by publishing it.  What A Coup!

What can I say but it’s about time?  Maybe Ms. Rowling has her own life to live, but that’s a poor excuse for keeping us on tenterhooks for so long.  Harry and Ginny could have been married by now with a little witch and wizard in diapers…
