Things I Like

1. This cover. The colors are brilliant. The cracks. The glass as a fence--and you know how I feel about fences...

2. And this cover. The blue and the tree limbs... GORGEOUS yet creepy at the same time.

3. Email. Good thing, because between WriteOnCon and the Bookanistas and planning a trip to NYC in SIX WEEKS, and my inbox is NEVER EMPTY.

4. People. I spent last weekend, and the weekend before that, presenting at symposiums and conferences. It is fabulous to be surrounded by writers, by those seeking to become better writers, by those who inspire.

5. Sleep. I haven't gotten nearly enough, and I'm determined to get a nap today.

Teen Book Drop 2009

Support Teen Literature Day is coming up on April 16th. Since I'm all over the teen scene, I've stumbled on some young adult blogs. One of them is the readergirlz blog. You should go check it out if you're a young adult writer.

This is a trailer for Operation: TBD (Teen Book Drop), where they've teamed up with publishers to take books to hospitalized teens all over the country. If you haven't found Guys Lit Wire yet, you should go there too. They have book reviews that are made of awesome. YALSA is also involved, and they have a great website and blog you should check out if you're a YA writer. These are on my daily clicks list.

Oh, and if you wanna find out what you can do, go here.
