Mini Blog: deadline me

August 30, 2010 by Ally Carter Leave a Comment

You know that movie Despicable Me?  Well, right now around here it’s all about Deadline Me because the first draft of Heist Society 2 is due on Wednesday.

Now, the usual disclaimers: it’s JUST a first draft.  We’re still a long, long way from finished.  The book itself will probably be out next summer sometime and I won’t start GG5 until Heist 2 is finished because Heist 2 comes out first.

Also, we don’t have a title.  We don’t have a cover.  And I can’t really say what it’s about just yet because all that is subject to change based on what my editor thinks about it.

Did that cover everything?

I hope that covered everything.

I will simply leave you with these, the two theme songs for HS2, to tease and tide you over.

    I mean absolutely no offense to any other fans, because I feel mostly the same way, but your comments made me laugh.
    You girls are some amazing people from what I read. Wish my friends were as awesome as you guys! lol
    As for the blog post, I’m not going to make any assumptions because Ally just LOVES to throw us off the scent. Both songs great, cannot wait!!
    Do your best Ally.

    Take your time Ally! I still can’t wait for Heist or GG5, but I know writing is hard. I just wanted to ask two Q’s thouh.
    1. When you do a draft, do you type it or write it out?
    2. Have you read Hex Hall by Rachel Hawkins? I love it and it’s very cute and addicting!

    Ooh, I like the new SPAM preventing question…. what is Ally’s last name?
    Darn it, I just can’t seem to figure it out! 😉

    But anyway, I just wanted to wish you luck on your deadline!

    Love, Hannah

    Oh my gosh I LOVE ‘Walk Like An Egyptian’! It’s such a catchy song, and I listen to it all the time on my iPod when I’m running. And I did a tap dance to ‘Putting On The Ritz’ last year!!!! 😀 (Just felt like sharin’ that with ya)
    And I feel like a criminal correcting an author’s spelling, but isn’t it spelled ‘Despicable’?
    Anyways, good luck with meeting your deadline!

    Niiice.
    Can’t you just imagine Angus or Hamish(or both) tap dancing? I can’t wait for HS2.
    It’ll be amazing.
    And I hate deadlines.

    Hey ally! I love thought of the crew going to Egypt! My grandparents live in Cairo so I know how awesome it is there. I used to tap dance too! Also, when is GG5 coming out in paperback? Love your books and I know you’ll do a great job with HS2!
