More from T.C. Williams High School in Alexandria, Virginia

By far the best part of finally having my book out in the world is getting to talk to people about it. And probably the best people to talk to about it are teenagers. I love the honesty and spontaneity of teens and how open they are to new ways of looking at things. If […]

NaNoWriMo: Day 7

Yesterday, on the 7th day of National Novel Writing Month, I went over the 10,000 word mark in my 60,000 word novel. I’m just 2,000 words shy of being at 20% complete. Yay me! There is a little voice inside me that hisses, “But you should be at 16,000!” You see, I did not write […]

Virginia is for happy

What an amazing weekend I’ve had so far! This Friday I was invited to speak at TC Williams High School in Alexandria, Virginia. Later I signed books at Hooray for Books in Alexandria. Have I mentioned how much I love Alexandria? Having people listen to me talk about my book is a beautiful bonus, but […]

NaNoWriMo: Day 3

2,010 words. And not many more to wring out of myself tonight. I was sure I wasn’t going to be able to do it, but I consistently forget what a stubborn old bird I am when I’ve finally made up my mind about something. And I am finishing these two books. Tomorrow morning at 5:00 […]

TSSoE in a library near you!

Okay, so I’m a total geek. We’ve established this. Due to this total geekdom, I may from time to time click on links and surf the Googles and find out new things about my book. Because… my book! In the world! It never gets old. Here’s what I found out today. There is a site […]

NaNoWriMo: Day 1

Today was Day 1 of my “Write 2,000 Words Every Day” challenge for National Novel Writing Month. I wrote 1,139 on my novel, although if you count the two blog posts I wrote this morning, I am over the 2,000 word mark. Still, it bums me out just slightly to not officially go past the […]

It’s National Novel Writing Month

Today begins National Novel Writing Month, a completely made up excuse for writers to pressure themselves and each other to write. I’m so totally in! Here’s the deal: I have 27,000 words written in a 60,000 novel and 3,000 written in another 60,000 word novel. So I have 25% of two books written. 90,000 words […]

Cupid shoots straight (or gay)

There are many reasons to like OKCupid, the dating site created by Harvard students of SparkNotes fame. It’s a fun and clever way to meet new people and attracts a brainier crowd that the likes of Match and even eHarmony. But today you can add one more reason to love it: its stand against Firefox’s […]
