		<description>Late as usual, but the rooting for your work-time continuing happy and productive is no less heartfelt for that! And the the anticipation of &lt;i&gt;three&lt;/i&gt; books to come  - oh yes.</description>

		<description>I'm glad for your writing successes and happy to know that I'll be seeing new books from you. But I have to say that I do miss you online. Come back soon.</description>

		<description>Robin... Go forth and multiply. Or somethin' like that. 'Tis the season. At least that's what my anti-spam word says. :) Truly, you are doing the big work of a writer and as much as we miss you 'round here, we'll be waiting in line at the book store pretty soon, thankful that you put the kabosh on the blogging to finish those books. Congrats, truly!</description>

		<description>Hello, all y'all!  Checking in here.  Thank you so much for all your sweet messages!

Tomorrow it's out of the cave, onto an airplane, heading for some presentations in Philadelphia, then to NYC for my annual visit with my lovely, wonderful editor to discuss all the projects currently on the table.  I'm expecting that to be at least a three-hour lunch.

Hope you all are well!  Thanks for being so understanding in my time of work.  I swear I'm using my time well, and I hope you'll feel that way, too, when you read the results!

Ta-ta for now!</description>

		<description>I haven't chimed in for a while, but neither have you! (: We have missed you and will continue to miss you. However, we're all proud of you and for you that you're working on THREE BOOKS! This is fantastic, Robin. I'm so glad that it has worked out this way for you. I hope you're having the time of your life. Thanks for all you (and all you commenters!) have taught me. I look forward to updates whenever you have a moment to give them.</description>

		<description>My human-verifier word is music!

Okay, you may have time off to write (har har, I just realized how that sounded-- as if your blog is your full time job and writing is just some cute little hobby in which we let you indulge yourself). I just hope to see you at the 2nd Kidlitosphere conference.</description>

		<description>Word to what you said about good vibes and such. And, like Sara said, take your time. We'll always be here when you return.</description>

		<description>My anti-spam word is "season," as in "to everything there is a season."  This is your writing season.  Enjoy it!  I'll be here when you get back, and eagerly awaiting more books for the "New YA Fiction" section of my library.  :)</description>
