And at last! She has her manuscript in a state that she can be confident in confiding to literary agents. She’s queried her novel to many agents thus far and has also received a fair ...

Welcome once again to the blog, ladies and gentlemen. My name is Jorel, and I just want to say that YOU. . . are fantastic. But enough about you, let’s talk more about Bailey Day! I thought we’d stick with the ongoing theme for one more blog post. We’ve already talked about Bailey Day’s real life animal companion, and Bailey Day’s virtual animal friends, but there is one more kind of animal that Bailey Day is familiar with that is neither real nor virtual. Well, they are real “physically” at least, but they’re not alive. Though they are able to come alive if you have enough IMAGINATION! Have you solved my riddle yet? I’m talking about. . . STUFFED ANIMALS! ...

Oh, hi everybody. It’s Jorel. First of all, “happy” new year! That’s all I’m going to say about that. Second of all, you’re probably wondering why I haven’t made a post in a while. What’s it been, like, a month? 2 months? 14 years? I’m surprised all of the members of Bailey Day’s fanbase haven’t stormed the Day headquarters, smashed in the windows and laid siege to the place! I trust you all are intelligent enough to never do something like that though. The reason you haven’t heard from me for a while is simply because there hasn’t really been a lot to talk about. Nothing that I’d care to talk about anyway. If you do want to know some ...

Jorel here, and if the title of this post wasn’t enough to thrill you, then I don’t know what will. I can see the celebrations now. The men are taking their shirts off and lassoing them around their heads hooping and hollering as if the home team just scored, while the women are crying tears of joy as they cook a bag of popcorn in the microwave and bring a blanket to their favorite reading spot in the house.

At one point during ...
