said "yes" to attending the event: Creative Writing Class -- Putting Your Characters to Work.
date: February 10, 2009 05:20PM location: NYU SCPS, Washington Square, Brooklyn, NY, The United States description: I’m teaching a 5-week Tuesday-evening class for NYU’s School of Continuing and Professional Studies starting February 10th. If you or anyone you know has hilarious/tragic work experiences to mine for fiction or characters that need development, wants to jumpstart a stalled creative project or finally begin that novel (or just do something creative for fun), this class is for you. It will be fun! Really. I swear. | |

review of How Far Is the Ocean from Here: A Novel:

I want to apologize for the all the recommendations from me yesterday. I wanted to share the Stoker Award news, and I only pressed the send button once--I'm not sure what happened to create so many messages. Some weird glitch.Argh...this is terrible...
Again, I'm very sorry.

Here’s wishing you a nifty New Year filled with noiseless noses, neato nicknames, noble Nebraskans, gnarly narcoleptic nebulas, and novel novels about nut-eating narwhals and novercaphobic gnats. -Jeremy :)
P.S.—I’m currently offering autographed/personally-inscribed copies of my novel, Vacation, with free shipping for those in the US. If there’s anything you could do to help me spread the word about this, I’d really appreciate it. Feel free to click here for details:

Thanks for sharing, Amy! I love Mrs. Dalloway. Some of my favorites are 1984, Slaughterhouse-Five, A Clockwork Orange, and The God of Small Things.Here’s wishing you a yippee-filled Yuletime overflowing with yard-long yams, yapping yoyo-yanking yetis, yak-milk yeast-cakes, and yellow yarn-yielding year-end yard-gnomes.
-Jeremy :)
I don't know! I guess I always say Mrs Dalloway and I think that's probably true.More importantly: where are these fanciful festivities of which you speak? Phantom footstools? These are things I would like to encounter, but hardly ever do. Where can I find them?!
Why, what's your favorite novel?
