Q&A Monday (#1)

Monday, May 25th, 2009

Welcome to the inaugural edition of Q&A Monday!

I got so many questions (keep sending! keep sending!) that I was considering breaking it up into two different Q&A days but then I realized that such a decision would no doubt be detrimental to my overall productivity because I am not the impressive Meg Cabot who somehow manages to be both a prolific blogger AND novelist AND has still finds time time to ride her bike AND watch awesomely bad reality TV. I know my own limitations, so I’m sticking to Q&A Mondays, Senryu Tuesdays and (retro)blog Thursdays for now. That will keep me busy enough while I write BUMPED, my first post-Jessica Darling novel.

The first question comes from Amber Lyn, who happens to be the creator and mod of the longest running Jessica Darling fan site. (more…)

BUMPED: My next novel!

Monday, May 11th, 2009

Bumped is the only reason why I haven’t been totally distraught about ending the Jessica Darling series. I’m spending the rest of 2009 and early 2010 writing it. Here’s the official announcement via HarperCollins:

Alessandra Balzer at Balzer & Bray/HarperCollins Children’s Books acquired World English rights to New York Times bestselling author Megan McCafferty’s new novel in a two-book deal from Heather Schroder at ICM. Bumped is a sharply funny and provocative dystopian novel set in a world where only teens are able to have babies, and are contracted by adults to carry them to term. Megan is best known for her Jessica Darling series, which started with Sloppy Firsts and most recently ended with Perfect Fifths.

The Foul Stench of My Dorm Room (Part 1)

Thursday, March 20th, 2008

Minus the in-depth psycho-social commentary on the devastating impact said stench might have had on my two years at the University of Richmond.

(This was a five minute free-writing exercise from 2001 that helped me bust through a brief period of writer’s block at the start of Second Helpings.)

Oh. It should be noted that the stench also affected my roommate’s fate at UR: She transferred too.

Our next door neighbors’ room did not reek. And they LOVED it there. Coincidence? I THINK NOT.

I am seriously concerned about myself. I am rarely if ever happy. It bothers me. Here I am, an intelligent, talented individual who for the life of her CANNOT stay happy. I do not enjoy writing entry after entry about my so-called teenage angst. I’d much rather write about how completely content I am with my life and surroundings but NEWSFLASH: I’m not.
