I Thought About Giving You a Serious Excerpt

But this one is more fun.

From that point on, all I can think about is kissing. And it's like it's everywhere. Noah and Melinda in the rain. Mom and Dad after they fight. Even in Gideon and Lucy's stupid cartoons, kissing! The only person who isn't kissing is Claudia; I would have expected she'd be on Shannon by now, but he's apparently devoted to his girlfriend back home, and Claude's making this big deal out of being heartbroken.

Bella never made me feel this way. Bella was just lips. We'r...

Pimping Myself

'cause that's how we do over on Invincible Summer, I guess.

My darling friend Misty wrote basically my favorite blog entry ever, and not ONLY because it makes me sound like a rock star (though that might be my favorite part.) You should check that shit out. It is here.

In other news...

I'm hard at work on my Invincible Summer edits (full disclosure: I'm hard at work on Invincible Summer edits in-between fighting Pokemon trainers) and also enjoying sunny (it's not sunny) Disney World with Christo...

Damn Saun

I've had a crazy week. How's yours been?

My INVINCIBLE SUMMER edits are due to arrive TOMORROW! So if you have any questions about what the editing-for-an-editor process is like, this is the week to throw them at me! Get on it!

Tease Tease Tease Tease

THE ANIMALS WERE GONE. Lio and Craig are eating lunch outside during the D.C. sniper shootings. Lio's POV.

He says, "Can I tell you something about September 11th? It's something I figured out the other day, and I guess I thought you might have something interesting to say about it. Or not say, you know, whatever."

I squeeze my fingernails into my palms. Now I remember. "Because I'm from New York?"

"Yeah. So here's what I'm thinking. I heard so much about how New York City really came toget...

Writer Survey

Yes, yes, I know, the vlog the vlog. But my lovely friend Sage did this over at her blog (http://sagelikethespice.wordpress.com/) and I wanted to play too.

1. What's the last thing you wrote? What's the first thing you wrote that you still have?

The last thing I wrote (and finished) is a YA about two boys getting together (the easy part) and staying together (not quite so easy) over the course of October 2002 sniper shootings in the suburbs of Washington D.C. This is my favorite book I've wri...

Stalling

I am sick and look DISGUSTING. (name that movie in the comments)

HERE'S AN EXCERPT. this is the first page of my WIP.


I only invented Zombie Tag three weeks ago, and we've already lost seven spatulas. For awhile, I stole my Mom's, but now she's out. I make my friends bring them now. Once our mothers find out where all their spatulas are going, they're going to be so mad. They're going to team up and form some kind of army against us, I swear. But we'd be totally prepared. Mothers can never be ...

I know I know I know

I've been hiding from this blog. It's been a crazy few weeks. BUT SOON I'M GOING TO VLOG FOR YOU.

However...

It might sell.
--EVEN IF the book isn't perfect.
--EVEN IF it's not your favorite thing you've ever written.
--EVEN IF you don't feel schizophrenic when you're writing it and you heard that's supposed to happen?
--EVEN IF you started your query with a rhetorical question or your manuscript with your main character waking up.

You might make a shitload of money.
--EVEN IF...well...I don't know anything about making a shitload of money, so I'll shut up on this point. But I hear it's possible!

And mo ma...

But A Quick Note...

Lately...I've been noticing an influx of over-confident writers.

I feel sometimes like the world is split between raincloud I WILL NEVER SELL writers and writers who are convinced they are J.K. Rowling. If you are of the first camp, please drink some tea and enjoy this blog post but realize it is not for you.

For the rest of you...

Here are some things you should maybe consider/deal with.

--The manuscript you are writing and pouring your life into and dreaming about and crying over? It might not...

Bad News Bears

Because the electronic world just hates me, my laptop is ker-fucked. At least my netbook is back in working order--hence I'm talking to you lovelies right now.

However, netbook has no webcam, so there will sadly be no vlogging in the considerable future.

Sooooo I'm going to do a regular post (boooo) for the rest of your questions. I'm disappointed, but vlogging was fucking awesome and I will definitely do it again in the near future.

I'm going to try to answer all your questions, tonight. If yo...
