     Happy New Year!! Can you believe it's 2011? I think the first day of a new year is very exciting because there's no telling what will happen in the days that are ahead. What wonderful things are in store for us? I wish only fabulous things for you!  Today I will contemplate several new year's resolutions-things that I plan to do differently in 2011. Will you make a resolution? I will write mine down and truly try to make them things I can achieve.
     Nikol, I'm not sure what you mean. John, the newest Bailey School adventures have been the Bailey School Kids Junior Chapter books, like Snow Monsters Do Drink Hot Chocolate. They have the Bailey School kids in second grade. Marcia and I have had a lot of fun writing them. Sophia, I like your zombie idea. I definitely think zombies are fun to write about. In fact, I just finished a zombie story that I hope will get published. Another zombie story that I had great fun writing was Zombies Don't Play Soccer. My kids gave me the idea because they have played a lot of soccer.
     It is supposed to be fairly warm today so I plan to take my doggies for a walk. They have been turning into zombies because they haven't gone outside much. Have a great day (and year!), Debbie

house Every year my children and I decorate a gingerbread house. We got a little crazy with this years. We had to use lollipops to prop it up so it wouldn't cave in and then my youngest son got a little wild putting tiny smiley faces all over with icing. It is very unique! Hope your Christmas is full of happy times with your family. Merry Christmas! Debbie

Siena, so glad you got your books. Hope you'll enjoy reading them over your Winter Break. Unka, did you know you have the same name as a TV show personality? Kyle, I'm happy you like my books. You can write to me in care of Scholastic 557 Broadway NY, NY 10012. Did you know that occasionally the Bailey School Kids do go out of Bailey City? Sometimes they go to Sheldon City and sometimes very far away in the Super Specials. In Mrs. Jeepers Batty Vacation, they go to Romania. In Mrs. Jeepers in Outer Space, they go to Space Camp in Alabama. Have a great holiday, Debbie

Hi Jackson, for this time of year my favorite is Santa Claus Santa Claus Doesn't Mop Floors Doesn't Mop Floors. What's your favorite Bailey School Kids book? Blah, this story elements chart really helps me in writing. Ho, Ho, Ho, Debbie

Hey Leigh, I'm so glad you liked Vampires Don't Wear Polka Dots. It was my first book and definitely one of my favorites along with Skeletons Don't Play Tubas. Amanda, my favorite part of writing is the actual writing. My least favorite is the rewriting part-changing it to make it better. Check out my writing video to see how I really feel. Hannah, I've been very lucky! Take care, Debbie
