A short one

This will be a short post because I have a killer headache. I've been plagued with these damn things for about a month now (and off and on throughout my life, but never like this!).

But I wanted to point readers over to the blog of the beautiful and talented Erin Dionne. Her second YA novel was just published (whoo-HOO!!), and to celebrate, her editor at Dial books gave a two-part interview on Erin's blog. It's very informative for writers of all genres. Click here for part one, and here for part two.

And a big congrats to Erin!

Check back soon for posts on:
* How I untangled a knotty problem in my novel
* One of my goals for 2010: Allowing myself to feel like a legitimate writer.
* Some artsy movies that I've recently watched and recommend.

Models Don't Eat Chocolate Cookies...the book AND the book trailer!

Erin Dionne, who I have the pleasure of knowing, just published her first novel! Models Don't Eat Chocolate Cookies a wonderful story about a teenage girl who tries to lose weight in order to get out of participating in a modeling contest for chubby girls.

I couldn't be happier for Erin--or more excited about the many interesting things she's doing to promote the book. View exhibit A:
