Reading LJ writers recommended
I realized I have never fessed up that I have been reading my friends list in more ways than one. That's right, I've actually been reading their books. A diverse lot, to be sure, with varied voices and each interesting in their own way.
You'll remember, of course, how much I enjoyed carriejones TIPS and coebooth TYRELL. But now, I've explored even further and enjoyed myself tremendously. aimee_ferris GIRL OVERBOARD, katibgirl IN THE NAME OF GOD, micolz EMILY GOLDBERG LEARNS TO SALSA, lgburns TALKING TRASH, kathyerskine QUAKING, mph33 LEMONADE MOUTH. Lots of interesting reads here. Oh, and cynthialord RULES for those of you who don't read a book until everyone else has already read it.
So now you understand why I have nothing to read on the airplane.
And on a writers high note--if you haven't been on Verla's today, hustle on over to hear about that rarest of gems--a first time writer taken from the slush and given a two-book deal. Danette, who is not only a very nice person but a native New Yorker to boot, accomplished her dream without spending tons of money on conferences or even connecting with an agent. It was pure dedication and perserverence. What a story! See you guys--Nonfiction RULES!
