Jackie Bouchard

For Jackie Bouchard’s day job, she writes boring things like reports, presentations and newsletters about the scientific research database publishing market. (Yaaaaawn.) In her copious spare time, Jackie writes humorous fiction. She is currently working with her agent on putting the final touches on her first novel, WHAT THE DOG ATE. Jackie enjoys: reading, writing, and, yes, even 'rithmetic (algebra rocks, don’t you think? Did she mention she used to be an accountant?), dogs in general, her beagle specifically, and her hubby. Not in that order. Jackie dislikes: writing about herself in the third person.

This is my favorite quote from Stephen King’s ON WRITING: “Sometimes you have to go on when you don’t feel like it, and sometimes you’re doing good work when it feels like all you’re managing is to shovel s**t from a sitting position.” At the Blazing Laptops Write-a-thon, I plan to shovel s**t for nine hours and hope that some of it will be salvageable for novel #2.
