Gosh, thanks so much! It was a lot of fun. :D

My two worlds collided! When a photographer and a steampunk author get together... :D

"I'm pretty sure that's what love is."

Before I Fall by Lauren Oliver

I do understand what you're saying and I understand what I'm saying, so I'm sure there is a happy middle ground somewhere. lol I guess it all comes to down to how responsible you are with your words. If you can review a book negatively, but with class, you probably won't be looked down upon (I guess...

I think it's just one of those things where you have to do what feels right for you and then cards fall where they fall, you know? I think times are changing so much with the internet, visability of authors separate from their books, etc. as to why it's becoming an issue now, as opposed to when revi...

But what I mean is what I write on my personal blog could be exactly what causes me to lose my job or be unhireable. The same thing with writing. In a sense, the agent/publisher is our employeer. My boss isn't my parent, but you better believe I would be held responsible if I posted how I hated a fe...

The point, to me, is that you should treat it as you would any employment seeking situation. I can't post on my blog negatively about my fellow teachers and expect to a) get a job if I'm looking for one, or b) expect no ramifications in my current position. Could you? That screams unprofessionalism ...

Listening ain't always a bad thing (regarding the whole writer v. book reviewer debate):

Hugh Laurie would be great and so would RDJ, so I'm good with both. Megan Fox? If they cast someone in their twenties to play Katniss, I'm going to be really mad. I pictured a true teenager. Besides, Megan Fox is too scrawny and the wrong kind of pretty. I didn't see Katniss as some stunning beauty,...

Thanks for all the suggestions and nice things. :-)

How are y'all doing multi-quotes? I want to do the new ones in one thread.

Mine has changed from what I entered and I'm still not happy with it: Whispers about the outsider’s capture seem to be everywhere I turn today, but I’m trying to ignore the chatter. It’s not to say I lack curiosity about his arrival, because I’m most certainly curious, but knowing I’ll be face-to-fa...

I'm just now watching Lost on Netflix (I'm obsessed, btw). She would be pretty good! I think the chick from True Grit would be pretty good, too. Just looked at another picture of her and her skin is actually a pretty solid olive.

Woot! I really hope they cast fairly unknowns in the roles.

Like I said, once the holidays are over, I'm pretty well done with winter. Though it was fun for the first few days, but now I have to make up two schoo...

Paused w/ Black to read my friend from high school's manuscript that was recently purchased by Harper Collins.

Then back to Black…isn't that a CD or something…and then Matched came in the mail. :D

And on the 11th, I'm ordering Across the Universe. I'm so excited for that one. :-)
