Just when you think...
...you'd kill yourself before you'd start another first draft, when you think you're SO GLAD you're on the second draft of your WIP and you NEVER WANT TO START ANOTHER BOOK AGAIN...
...a new idea comes along and slams you across the head.
God. Damn. It.

The Problem is Borders Is Not a Goddamn Toy Store.
So if you read either Pimp My Novel or Editorial Ass (and come on, you should) you might be panicking a little bit for the well-being of Borders.
I know I am.
I'm no expert. I'm a girl who likes to buy books, and the nearest Borders to my house is a full ten minutes closer than the Barnes and Noble which means that, essentially, I'm a Borders-girl. (Guys, don't even talk to me about indies. If you have lived in Silver Spring, Maryland, you may chortle along with me here. Chortle chortle chortle.)

It's heeeeeeeeeere!
Please excuse my mother's horrible photography skills.
Singing copies at B&N. That's my dad grinning in the background.

WE BEAT BEAR FEELS SICK
That is all.
(unfortunately we're still #6. The elephant with a peanut allergy snuck in and stole #5. I don't feel I can complain, since BREAK has a peanut allergy as well, and it's really the reason we're on that list. THOUGH WE'RE MORE THAN JUST PEANUTS BITCHES)

Rule the World
BREAK is now the 6th bestseller in the category Bestsellers > Books > Children's Books > Science, Nature & How It Works > Health > Diseases > Fiction
we need to beat BEAR FEELS SICK before we can proceed to number 5.
COME ON GUYS. WE CAN BEAT BEAR FEELS SICK.
Though I'm not going to lie to you, it sounds pretty effing sweet. It rhymes. And it has a twist ending. BREAK has neither of these things. Guys, we might be fucked. I'm thinking 6th might be where our reign ends.
But it was fun while it laste

Time Turned Fragile
This is the song that inspired BREAK. A nice little song from Jonah to Jesse.
Clicky (audio only):
Tiny hands, recycled cans, the metal bands I could not stand
The time you cried and threw your crayons across the floor
These are the things I think about when I'm alone without you
I wonder about your wherabouts and hope like hell you're happy where you are
You used to say that you're just fine, but I still wonder all the time.
Hockey games, medical claims, police reports, terrible grades
J, I'm so proud

yessssssss. I did it! 58some thousand words, and it's all done! And I'm actually pretty happy with it, yay. And I have tons of ideas for edits.
Now I want to see if I can get a 2nd draft done before BREAK comes out. Clearly I am insane.
My release date is "soft," which means it's possible there's a copy of BREAK in your local bookstore RIGHT THIS VERY SECOND. SOMEONE ELSE COULD BE BUYING IT RIGHT NOW. ARE YOU GOING TO STAND FOR THIS?
Ugh, when did I become such an annoyin
