Monday, August 24, 2015. Why reinvent the wheel? I'm linking to Chuck Wendig's always interesting Terrible Minds blog where he recently posted 100 RANDOM STORYTELLING TIPS.

If you're a passionate and supportive partner of a writer, there's a special nightclub for you in heaven- full of extra drinks and angels carrying cupcakes.

I'm not a doctor, I only write them (sometimes) into my books. 8 Tips For Partners of Writers. 5 I like hearing about your job but make su...

Fall Fifteeners: The Mystery of Creativity: Should You Be Surfing the Internet or Should You Be Writing?
http://fallfifteeners.blogspot.com/2015/07/the-mystery-of-creativity-should-you-be.html
Monday, July 27, 2015. The Mystery of Creativity: Should You Be Surfing the Internet or Should You Be Writing? This is excerpted from a post I did on Through the Toll Booth in 2008. You are a writer; an artist. If all your novels, stories and poems flow forth abundantly—golden words, clever concepts, satisfying connections and solid structure tumbling fruitfully from your brain to your fingertips and onto the page or screen, then this post will be of no interest. I’D RATHER BE WRITING (NOT). After all is...

Friday, July 31, 2015. Why I Read Young Adult. Neighborhood friends keep forwarding me emails inviting me to their next book club meeting. While I am never one to turn down free wine or any appetizer made with cheese (or any appetizers not made with cheese, for that matter), I continue to politely decline. I read at least a book a week, so you'd think I'd be drawn to this like college kids to Panama City during Spring Break. The heart wants what the heart wants. It's impossible to put the book down. ...

Thursday, April 30, 2015. Behind Closed Doors: What Happens to Your Manuscript When it Goes on Sub. Being on sub is scary. When my agent sent out UNDERNEATH EVERYTHING. I barely slept or ate. Every second seemed like a high-wire act. My thoughts spun out: Was my work good enough? Would it connect with someone? Would it be terrible? Would the publisher already have something just like it? Would they look at it on a bad day, in a bad mood? 1 Your manuscript is received and logged. This is typically a meeti...

Friday, May 29, 2015. Editor Interview: Brian Farrey-Latz. Last month, I interviewed my agent for some insights on her career and publishing. In part two this month, I'm interviewing my editor, Brian Farrey-Latz, acquiring editor for Flux (the Young Adult imprint of Llewelyn Publishing):. How would you like me to introduce you? You to introduce me as El Elegante de la Supremo, but what you’ve got above will do nicely. What would you love to see in your in box? What turns you off in a submission? Too much...

Fall Fifteeners: February 2015

Friday, February 27, 2015. Why I Write YA. Despite appearances (translation: I am old), it makes sense that I write young adult fiction. Let me explain. For the past decade, I have been held prisoner in my home by two socially-addicted teenagers with the same last name as me. My captivity started one night when I foolishly tried to escape for a relaxing evening of adult conversation and company. Warning: Parents of Teenagers- Do not try this at home. 1 Out of town. 3 In police custody. You get the idea&#...
