For Halloween I am dressing up as an extrovert.

Yes, that's me, speaking to a local high school creative writing class a few weeks ago (thanks to Annalisa the Awesome Librarian for the pic). I was talking about NaNoWriMo , how I won it last year, and how I will proceed to do the same this year. (Hint: Brag to everyone that you're going to win!) Have you signed up yet? Please friend me--my username is jenniferechols.

For my next trick, I'll be one of 18 authors in attendance at the super-fun annual Southern Magic Reader's Luncheon on November...
