Karsten in Mourning

In this vlog: mourning the Patriots loss, throwing things in slow motion, backgammon with pigeons, and Lumierre the French Candlestick.

The Karsten Knight Holiday Spectacular

...Okay, maybe not so spectacular. Some poetry, some New Year's resolutions, some reasons I should be the next Bachelor on ABC.



Happy Holidays

The Query for WILDEFIRE

I don't usually post anything other than video on the blog, but I thought this was worth the break from tradition. Chuck Sambuchino, Editor of The Guide to Literary Agents, just posted Wildefire's query (along with my Super-Agent Mary Kole's commentary on it) up on his Successful Queries column on his blog:

http://www.guidetoliteraryagents.com/blog/Successful+Queries+Agent+Mary+Kole+And+Wildefire.aspx

This is a companion piece to a spotlight he's writing about Wildefire and I for a forthcoming issue of Writer's Digest. Thanks to Mary and Chuck for putting this together.

I hope you enjoy this behind-the-scenes featurette.

Karsten is a Fannypack Full of Rage

For Versus Week on the YA Rebels, I discuss the battles I regularly fight and ultimately lose. Slow walkers, playground bullies, and sunburns.

Karsten Knight's Time Capsule: Take 2

I know I already posted about the 10 Items I'd put in a Karsten Knight time capsule, but it was the subject on the YA Rebels this week, so now you get to see it live.



Two people already disliked this video. Do we think it was because
1) They disliked me eating Lucky Charms on camera
2) They think my cologne smells offensive
3) I made a Star Wars joke
4) They are just haters
5) All of the above

Karsten Explains Why Sloths are Like Writers

This week was 7 Deadly Sins Week on the YA Rebels. I spent only 29 seconds of this 4 and a half minute rant actually on-topic...but isn't doing everything except what you're supposed to be doing what Sloth is all about?



Featuring sloth poop jokes, me attempting to rap, and ferocious/adorable baby tigers.

Karsten is a Sock Gremlin Activist

It's random week on the YA Rebels, so in summary: Mr. Roboto, sock bags, sock gremlins, a review of Kim Harrington's CLARITY (Scholastic, March 2011), and enjoying candles a little too much.



Domo arigato.

Vlog #16: Moonshine and Risky Business

Since these vlogs are all filmed from the waist up, have you ever wondered if I'm wearing pants?



What can I say--writing is a Risky Business. **Cough**

Vlog #15: Karsten Knight is Batman

I am Batman. Look in awe upon my pimped out Batcave.

Vlog #14: Tall Trees, Wide Trees, Some as Big as Your Head

This week on the YA Rebels, we discuss setting. The only light in my room blew right before I was about to film, and I had to film this brief discussion on WILDEFIRE's locales in the dark.



Sorry for the drastic shifts in volume.
