Guest Post: Myra McEntire on a Lesson Learned
Myra McEntire is freaking hilarious. I followed her on Twitter long before I had my book deals, and she was one of those kind authors who would tweet back at me when I made some inane comment. She was one of the masterminds behind last year’s “Do the…Guest Post: Elana Johnson on a Lesson Learned
Elana Johnson is a fellow Bookanista. She’s thoughtful and funny and one helluva dancer. And when I got my first book deal earlier this year, she generously offered me a lot of advice. She did this at a time when I didn’t even know what questions to…Guest Post: Jodi Meadows on a Lesson Learned
Last year for my blogiversary, Jodi Meadows wrote this amazing guest blog about why you shouldn’t quit. It was a lesson she learned through a lot of trials, and Jodi’s post inspired a lot of people. In fact, a lot of people linked to that post to…Guest Post: Kathleen Peacock on a Lesson Learned
A couple of years ago I met Kathleen Peacock on the boards at Absolute Write. I got to know her through silly posts about anything that came to mind at odd hours. I remember a lot of randomness and cheerleading. Kathleen is so wise and kind. And…Guest Post: Beth Revis on a Lesson Learned
Beth Revis is the reason I really wanted to be a part of the Bookanistas. Okay, I really didn’t know her. BUT the love the Bookanistas obviously felt for her when they made this incredible video made me want to join this group. And anyone who…
HAPPY 2nd BLOGIVERSARY TO ME!
July marked the second anniversary of this blog. Last year, I ran a week-long series of guest posts where awesome authors Veronica Roth, Jodi Meadows, Marjetta Geerling, and Jennifer Echols shared the biggest lesson they’d learned in the previous year….
I’m a YA Rebel!
Last week, I made the leap and auditioned for the YA Rebels, a group of YA authors vlogging about young adult literature. Two lessons I’ve learned in the last year – taking chances can pay off in a big way and life is too freaking short – made…
Journaling and Italy and My Father
I’m not into journaling. I know a lot of writers are, and if I never get another journal as a gift, I’ll be a happy girl. I just don’t care for it. Part of me wishes I did. I think about these famous authors who left behind a legacy of hundreds of journals filled with their thoughts and bits of writing,…
Bookanista Review: THE UNBECOMING OF MARA DYER
First, to give full disclosure, I want to state that the author is a fellow Bookanista. Sometimes it can be hard to review books by friends. But to be honest, I forgot who wrote the book and fell into Michelle Hodkin’s THE UNBECOMING OF MARA DYER.
Here’s the official blurb…
SCBWI LA Special Edition Vlog: Roommate Etiquette
Yep. Another vlog. I’m sure you’re asking yourself how often I’m going to torture you with these. The answer? As often as I can. Not really, I may do them a couple times a month – hey, it takes some time to edit these babies. The only reason I’m doing another so soon is because I care about YOU. And I…
