"like the Ghost Whisperer mixed with Angel, but with more Spike, plus a little Supernatural."
My brain just seized. In a good way.

Ghost meets Romeo and Juliet. Twilight meets Beetlejuice. Ghost Whisperer meets Dawson's Creek.

“Not dead yet!”
Ghost Whisperer meets Dawson's Creek.
And again, my brain seized. It would seem that any mention of J-Love's oh-so-earnest show has that effect on me.

Because books.
A reader/book blogger in her twenties (who also works in publishing but not at Harper) has been tweeting with me -- she's so smart and funny, and she loves to bake. So we're tweeting Cold Kiss cookie ideas! So much fun.

I overhead one of our writing instructors talking about next year's Writer's Institute [link] that's held here, and she was talking about offering a YA workshop. I hope you don't mind, Amy and Barb, but I pimped your books out to her as coming from highly recommended YA authors.

Erm, no, I seriously, seriously don't mind. Especially since I have very fond thoughts of UW-Madison. (We used to go there every year when I was in drum corps. LOVE Madison.)

Sure, that's great, Sail! Thanks.

Happy bookday, Amy!

I just pressed Send on my query letter with my writing resume and 2 writing samples in for a feature article in BUST.

Oh, as usual, dear.
My first query to a print magazine. Do I get a toaster, or a Xanax or something?!
