Sommer, these are fabulous. You are awesome for posting these - the videos and cartoons are KILLING me! THANK YOU!

I enjoyed this post - thank you! Great analysis of the ramifications of a snafu like this being discovered so publicly. You also make a good point that books should be "fixed" from one edition to the next. I know an author who discovered a typo in the hardcover of his book, and the publish...

Ha! Rick, I'm a procrastinator at heart, too. In fact, I'm putting off doing the laundry right now. That's why I wrote this post - it's as much a reminder for me as for anyone else.

Nice, Rick! This is a great metaphor - and I think it's better without the explanation. It's lovely.

"But commentary on a half-assed draft won’t be as construcive as commentary on a draft you feel proud of."

Truer words were never spoken.

Brodi, thank you so much for posting this. As someone who is searching for an agent at the moment, I can understand your hesitation to jump back into the query pool. It's so good to hear that if the passion is gone, it really is best to move on to another "relationship." And congratulation...

HAHAHAHAHA!

This. Is. HILARIOUS!

LOVE number 5!

Hannah, this is awesome. Which is to be expected, because it's coming from you. :-)

:-) I'm glad you liked it, Mira.

My husband and I tried our hand at pursuing a business venture about a decade back. Without going into the painful details, I'll just say that we sucked and leave it at that. But despite our major suckage at trying to manage people and make money, we actually learned something! And it's something th...

I JUST blogged about this this morning! Out of curiosity, I checked out the current NYT Bestseller list for MG and YA novels, and I looked up the blogs and websites of the authors of the top ten books on the list and went through their archives to see how long they had been blogging, tweeting, etc. ...

NATHAN! I love the cover. The fist-pump that Jacob Wonderbar is doing is a fabulous touch! It looks great! You must be so thrilled. I can't wait to actually hold it!

Well, I didn't get much time to write at ALL. Hubby came home with a ton of work to do, so I basically had the kids all weekend. Boo! But, I did manage to write and scrap and rewrite the first third of my chapter book a couple of times, and re-do the outline for it. So, all things considered, I did ...

Once upon a horse Sonja feared the darkness across the river might be too deep. Sighing, she turned and found a block of cheese made of Venusian so she picked up a sword to pierce into the looming thicket. "No!" said the block of cheese! "Don't go there!" But the cheese did not k...

I use Goodreads, but that's mostly because I was pointed to it early in the game and I don't like switching around a lot. And I don't have time to maintain/visit more than one on a regular basis.
