I've found quite a few writer friends who have entered. We all seemed to do similar stories, so I was wondering. :)

Re: What is the worst thing you have ever thrown up?
Chili. Need I say more? That was just horrid. And you all are reminding me of the worst flu I ever had on my first overseas trip to London and Paris. I had a few days in London (where I caught some mutant flu bug) and by the end of my week in Paris I felt like death. I had a few more days in London ...

Re: Do you have a new blog post?
How do I know I’m working on a new book? I find the perfect song for my main character.
What’s your main character’s song?

Re: Social responsiblity (the greater good) and the author
I suppose it's all about how you define those different terms... I'm assuming you know about the #SpeakLoudly campaign and all the people reacting to a proposed book banning of SPEAK by Laurie Halse Anderson. Some have called the story of a rape victim "soft pornography". Everyone has a di...

Re: Favorite quotes about writing
The motto of my blog... ;)
“As things stand now, I am going to be a writer. I’m not sure that I’m going to be a good one or even a self-supporting one, but until the dark thumb of fate presses me to the dust and says ‘you are nothing’, I will be a writer.” — Hunter S. Thompson (Gonzo)

Re: Your Writing Space
I always think about trying a coffee shop (I do love them despite only drinking tea), but I'm afraid I'll be too distracted. I must try it sometime. :D I do like the minimalist look, but I'm also a clutter bug. I have to force myself to throw out things so I can be more simple. Plus, I had just clea...

If I were an agent, I'd rep YA and Lit. I'd also take forever cause I'd want to read them all. :D

Re: Your Writing Space
One of the writers I did a special feature on writes in their recliner, too. :D http://www.reganleigh.com/?p=1558
I could have posted a pic of my bed. I've spent many late nights writing there. :) Loving all your pics, btw!

Re: Query Chat returns with Special Guests!!
I feel like such a crap friend that I never participate. One day I will be ready to query…one day… You always have the best guests! Maybe you could wrangle Nathan one day… ;-) Bah, I guess I'll keep you around. ;) And Nathan is welcome any time, but something tells me he's busy. ;). He's practicall...
