HAPPY BOOKDAY AMY!
Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

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.)

Because books.
Sure, that's great, Sail! Thanks.

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?
