I’m in the midst of end-of-the-semester grading and don’t quite have the brain power to put together a coherent post. So instead, I’m going to bombard you with adorableness. Enjoy! And a little something funny:
I’ll be back with more writing posts on Wednesday (including a WIP update), but since it’s a holiday here, I figured it was time for–what else?–a cute cat picture. I have a theory that at least half of the internet is comprised of pictures of cats. There’s one for every occasion. Enjoy!
Warning: Sentimental content ahead. I’ve said before that people in the children’s literature world are some of the nicest people on earth, but I’ve been just overwhelmed by how amazing everyone has been now that I have a book coming out. I’ve had so many people cheering for me, asking how they can help, etc. [...]
Last week, my husband and I headed down to NYC for my college reunion. While we were there, I was able to meet up with my editor, Rebecca, and her assistant, Aubrey, for lunch. It was so great to meet both of them in person since I’d been in touch with them via email and [...]
I saw this book trailer for Super Sad True Love Story the other day, and I just had to share it with you guys. What I most like about the trailer is that it conveys the tone of the book without really telling us what the story is about. I heard an interview with Shteyngart [...]
It’s my last day in the revision cave! Once I send the manuscript back to my editor, I’ll be able to rejoin the land of the living. It’ll be nice to actually respond to your comments and visit your blogs again, though I must say that not spending as much time on the interwebs has [...]
I’m still in the revision cave, but I think there’s a tiny light at the end of the tunnel. By golly, I think I might actually make it! And you know what’s been keeping me going? Having this series of incredible pictures to look at–because if goats can climb a dam then nothing is impossible: [...]
Well, it’s Monday morning, I’ve lost an hour of sleep due to Daylight Savings Time, and my To Do list is so long that it’s started its own To Do list. Anyone else feeling a little overwhelmed today? I think there’s only one way to fix that: a motivational montage! Having doubts? Don’t worry… Just [...]
I guess it’s odd for me to be doing a WIP update since I’m not actively working on anything at the moment. I’m waiting on some feedback on a project, and I think my brain is still too much in it to switch over to anything else. But because I’ve been fairly consistent with writing [...]
The other day I was going through a box of books from my childhood and trying to find places for them on my bookshelves. As cheesy as it sounds, when I was taking the books out one by one, it was like I was seeing old friends again. The feelings I’d had when I’d read [...]
