Christmas is come and gone and all I can think about is my books. I visit home for the first time in a year and as soon as I've gotten visiting my friends out of my system what am I stuck on? Gordon Korman's old books from the eighties. And seventies, probably. The Bruno & Boots books, now being reprinted under the Macdonald Hall title, The Twinkie Squad, Losing Joe's Place, No Coins Please, and a number of other books that I simply adore. You know he wrote his first book in seventh grade? Asimov was first published in a magazine at age 19! I'm running quite far behind, getting 8000 words in a WW book at age 21. I'll obviously never be able to make it as a writer.
