Two Quick Things

September 7th, 2006

One: The Last Days comes out tomorrow! (More on that tomorrow.)

Two: Those of you who are writers may want to check out Justine’s blog, in which she tells How to Write a Novel. (Including my patented content-management spreadsheet trick.)

That’s it, except to say that our readings last night went exceedingly well. Thanks to everybody who came!

    Yep, that’s what ARC means. Speaking of which, I read “The Last Days” as an ARC. I want the hardcover anyway to see if there are any changes.

    I read So Yesterday as an ARC. They are much better, with all the mistakes and things and all the stuff that later gets taken out. My friend has the ARC Peeps and used to carry it around gloating (even though Peeps was already out…).

    Lol, Capt. Cockatiel–It’s me, She-Who-Gloats-About-Cool-Peeps-ARC! (Elizabeth, ARC means Advanced Readers Copy)

    My cover is the one with the big eye, not the realistic semi-black-and-white one.

    Yes, Topaz, but it has the fake-cover-yness of an ARC. But the fake covers are so nice — why does everyone hate them so?! I got So Yesterday as an ARC a year after it came out! I think that’s strange…
    I *heart* the big eye!

    ok so heres the thing i didnt know where to put this b/c i dont think it really fits anywhere.

    BUT… i really think you should right another book for the uglies series i know in the book specials you said that, that was the last book for the series. so i think maybe you should start a new series about tally and that one boy

    Hey, Scott!

    You haven’t been keeping up with your blog! Busy aren’t you? Started Last Days and it’s amazing. Four POVS…totally fexcellent! You are a master…truly. Minerva’s POV is fawsome.

    I’m thrilled because the book I’m writing now is in two POVs and I was looking for another example of great Voice differentation. Looks like I found it.

    PS…I met your a friend of yours…Maryrose W the writer. Her daughter B and mine are buds. Six degrees of separation, huh? And that was AFTER I emailed you the question about “dudes”

    I love your books! I read TLD in like two hours. (I read REALLY fast) I love your books! I am a writer myself, i actually just sent in my first 30 pages to an agent. I’m more fantasy, but your books are so good, i know so many adults who agree with me too. I know I’m young, (HS Sophmore), but i CAN do it! love the blog btw, maybe some day i will actually talk to you in person. Anyhoo, you are totally awesome (or fawesome, whatever).
