Absolutely True Confessions
So yesterday's thinking paid off. Today, I was able to draft a couple of chapters of new material and outline three more chapters. Everything is pretty much set for my trip to the west. I will be attending the Orange County Children's Book Festival. Check out the facebook page for more information. Unfortunately, a good [...]

Absolutely True…
I didn't get a lot done today…at least not in terms of actual writing. I did, however, do a lot of thinking. I like to think of revision as re-visioning. It's a process during which you have an opportunity to really envision your work anew. So, that's what I was thinking about today. I am [...]

Absolutely True Confessions…
Today, I took a break from revisions to create a Reader's Guide for Interlopers. The idea of a reader's guide was brought up in one of the meetings that I had earlier this week. It was something that had been mentioned to me before and I had actually started working on one in the past…but [...]

Absolutely True…The Secret Circle–Yeah, Right…
I am taking a break from the regularly schedule program to blog about The Secret Circle television series which premiered last week on CW. In a way, this is sort of related to my 30-day blogging challenge–in that it is about books made into a television series, but it's not about a day in the [...]

More tomorrow. Good night. Filed under: Absolutely True Confessions of a Full-Time Author, Anatomy of An Author Tagged: author appearances, [...]

Absolutely True…57th Street Children's Book Fair
I MISSED A DAY! Dun, Dun, DUNNNNNNNNNNNN! What can I say? By the time I got home last night, I just fell into bed. 57th Street Children's Book Fair was great! They had to move it inside because of the weather, but the crowd was still great. Plus, I was right down the hall (we [...]

Absolutely True…Chicago!
Chicago, Chicago, that toddling town…. I have no idea what that means. Halfway through the 30 Day Blogging Challenge and I am here in fair Chicago for the 25th annual 57th Street Children's Book Fair, which is happening tomorrow from 1-6. I have to say, I am a little chilly. I don't think that is [...]

Absolutely True…My Inspiration
Today, I will tell a story… It's an absolutely true story, and it may or may not get at some of the source of my inspiration. When I was in high school, a sophomore, we all had to take some standardized test that I guess was supposed to measure some facet of our intellectual capabilities [...]
