I just got the book! It’s sitting on my desk and I’m going to start it tomorrow. Can’t wait to read it. Hope I can make it to the #NALit chat, but may still be seeing #IfIStay
Oh yay! Got my fingers crossed that you’ll find the book helpful. I sure tried my darnedest to make it so. As for #NALitChat, I can accept back seat to book-turned-movie. 🙂 I just saw The Fault In Our Stars movie on Friday and happily bawled my eyes out – so glad I was in a hotel room and not in a theater. I would’ve been short tissues, big time.
How awesome! 🙂 Best of luck, Deborah!
Thanks! Always great to hear from you, Kurt.
I bought your book at Barnes and Noble on Monday and I love it! Now the pages are covered with my highlighting and side notes which means, of course, I now have to go back and revise my manuscript. Perfect timing, though. I was half way through my second draft. Now I now really now how to go back and make it better! Thank you, Deborah!
HIghlighting and side notes? Now there’s my warm fuzzy for the day! So glad to know there are some helpful things in those pages for you. Happy revising!
I’m so excited to add this book to my writing craft bookshelf…right next to your book, Writing Young Adult Fiction! Congratulations, although I think we writers are the real winners. 😉
I can’t make the chat tonight (we have visitors) but I look forward to the book launch week!
Visitors? Sounds like you’ve got a party of your own brewing, T. Raise a glass and nod in the direction of San Diego and you’ll be officially excused. 🙂
Happy release day!!
Thanks so much, Dave.
