WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO WRITE A BOOK FOR BOYS?
Well…technically, any book could be a “boy” book or a “girl” book. In fact, I know a lot of boys who are man enough to read a book with pink on the cover who have really liked LYKY. They even liked CMH more.
Oh, and I have to say that the boy-to-girl ratio in the new Heist/Kat book is high. Seriously high. Boys as far as the eye can see…
DO YOU HAVE ANY TIPS OR ADVICE FOR WRITERS?
Sure do. You can read the tips here. Also, search the blog because there are a lot of things that make it in there from time to time, especially the posts with the label “for writers”.
ARE YOU EVER GOING TO UPDATE YOUR WEBSITE?
Yes. In fact, that will be one of my major priorities in the near future–probably after we have cover art and whatnot for the new Heist/Kat book and I have the time to really think about what needs to be added/streamlined/expanded, etc.
ARE YOU GOING TO GO SEE THE TWILIGHT MOVIE?
Uh…yeah!
IF I LIVE IN SAN ANTONIO AND AM NOT GOING TO THE NCTE CONVENTION BUT WOULD LIKE TO GO TO YOUR SIGNING ANYWAY, CAN I?
Honestly, I don’t know. My gut is no, but you could do some checking around and contact the National Council of Teachers of English–go directly to the source, in other words.
WHAT WAS THE LAST REALLY GREAT BOOK YOU’VE READ?
A few weeks ago I read WHAT HAPPENED TO CASS MCBRIDE and it’s still haunting me. It’s a powerful book (but some of you pre-teens might want to wait a little while before reading it or check with your parents or librarians–it’s pretty scary in its own way.)
WHY HAVEN’T YOU FOUND A TITLE FOR THE NEW KAT/HEIST BOOK YET?
Because I’ve lost my title mojo. It’s seriously gone. Missing. Vanished.
I fear sneaky John Green might have stolen it.
ARE YOU STILL NOT DRINKING DIET COKE?
Well…yes. And no. I used to drink 2-3 a day. Now I drink 2-3 a week which I consider to be a moral victory.
HOW ARE YOU HANDLING NOT BEING ABLE TO SEE FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS UNTIL THEY START RE-AIRING EPISODES ON NBC THIS WINTER?
How do you THINK I’m handling it? I’m supposed to give up Diet Coke AND Tim Riggins in one go?
It’s not pretty here. Not pretty AT ALL.
DID YOU EVER BUY FURNITURE?
Uh. No.
WHY DON’T YOU BUY SOME FURNITURE?
Good question.
WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO GET AROUND TO BUYING FURNITURE?
Hey, I’m not drinking Diet Coke or watching Tim Riggins and I’m doing it all without my title mojo…I’m dealing with a lot of stuff here, okay?
Darn it.
I really need a Diet Coke.
