I would go to Narnia and join Lucy, and Susan and Peter and Edmund in their quest against the White Witch. And I would, of course, stop and have tea with Mr. Tumnus. And I would be so bold as to ask to ride on the back of Aslan as he breathes on the frozen animals. And I would rejoice at Aslan's rising.

I have a long list, but at the top are these:
Up From the Sea by Leza Lowitz, about tsunami survivors. And two of Rainbow Rowell's books, Eleanor and Park, and Fangirl.

I love Hazel and Augustus in A FAULT IN OUR STARS. I love that they loved each other and life to the fullest in the face of terminal illnesses. I love how John Green showed their strengths and weaknesses, and I love how he made me cry.

Tune into the way your thoughts run rampant (daydreaming is good) and jot them down on paper. They may be your next big story. Then be sure you hook up with a critique group with honest, gutsy members who will tell you the truth. And then buck up, take it home, and obsess over it until it starts giving you shivers of excitement. You will be onto something then!

I love the variety, meeting so many other wonderful authors out on the trail, being my own boss, and watching ideas sprout into action on the page in front of me.

Hi Kathryn,
Thanks for the kind words about Crazy. I'm so glad you enjoyed it. Yes, I am almost finished with the first draft of the next book, but I don't have a contract for it yet, so I'm not exactly sure when it will come out. Stay tuned to my website (lindavigenphillips.com) for more information!
Best,
Linda
