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.
Reavers ain't men. Or they forgot how to be. Now they're just nothing. They got out to the edge of the galaxy, to that place of nothing, and that's what they became.

Nana korobi, ya oki. (Fall down seven times, stand up eight.) ~Yuzuru Hanyu/Japanese proverb
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.

“Not dead yet!”
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.)

I just pressed Send on my query letter with my writing resume and 2 writing samples in for a feature article in BUST.
Wish me -ma.
Oh, as usual, dear.
My first query to a print magazine. Do I get a toaster, or a Xanax or something?!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
