It's about time to mess around with my blog again! Yay! So I'm working on a new header today, and thus will not be posting anything terribly interesting. How do you like the new digs so far? I feel pretty and artistic and stuff.
But never fear! As part of a week-long series, the amazing Elana Johnson has interviewed me on her blog today. Check it out. Elana is fabulous, and she happens to live very close to me. Except we never do anything together. (Dude, Elana, what is WITH that? It's like we both live on the internet or something...)
Also, it's about time I do a Q&A again. Yes, I'm running dry on posts. It happens, okay? Help a girl out and ask her some questions. I will answer them all this week.
Yay Q&A!
ReplyDeleteoooh what would you like to eat for your LAST MEAL ON EARTH... (i don't know why you'd be eating your last meal... let's assume you're 109 years old and still have all your teeth and a strong GI tract)
Okay okay. Let's see...
ReplyDeleteHow long before you landed Nathan Bransford when querying?
I love the new background. Did you design it yourself?
ReplyDeleteLiking the new background! I got some questions for you missy.
ReplyDelete1) Is your book on submission? Which one? Both sound super awesome.
2) I'm paranoid. I don't know why. I'm querying right now with an idea I love. Agents seem to like it too until they get to my partial. Obviously my writing needs work. But do you think an agent would pass along the idea to one of their clients who is more up-to-speed and polished with their writing? I don't think you can copyright an idea or a hook. I don't know why I think like this, maybe because I just really love this idea so much. Am I only the one who thinks this way? I'm crazy...
=)
No, Fairy, it's actually from that lovely new blogger template thing you posted a few days ago. I hope to draw my own eventually, but this is a good place holder for now.
ReplyDeleteI didn't see that one when I was looking through. It's great for this blog. (Although I'm sure you'll make an even better one.)
ReplyDeleteOooo cute new look! I look forward to the finished product.
ReplyDelete("Finished." Hehe. Blogs, like books, never really seem finished to their creators, do they? :P)
Read your interview with Elana Johnson. Great stuff!
ReplyDeleteYou are about to die. What are your epic last words?
ReplyDeleteElana's awesome! I can't wait to read her interview!
ReplyDeleteQuestion: Why don't ninjas wear unitards? They come in black too. Plus they are very stretchy and comfortable. Just sayin'. =)
(I love the new look, btw!)
I like the new background. I'm thinking of re-designing my own.
ReplyDeleteGreat interview today. Read it this morning but didn't have time to comment.
Questions? Let's see...Going along with Jeff's question, you're about to die but you're given the option of selecting your last meal. What is it? And why?
What is a 'typical' day like for you?
ReplyDeleteThanks for the link to the interview, Natalie! I'd love to meet Tolkien, too.
ReplyDeleteI'm likin' the new digs. Especially the skull mixed in with all the love. ;)
ReplyDeleteQ: You've mentioned, casually, that you like sushi a lot. Why? And does it taste fishy?
What did you write about when you were in high school?
ReplyDeleteCute new background! It's very YA writerish. I like it. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat interview and great new background!
ReplyDeleteHmmm...questions...OK.
If you did draw a background like this one, what would you put in it?
Can't think of a question right now, but I did give you an award on my blog. I'm sure you get those all the time, but another one's always great, eh?
ReplyDeleteI just read your interview on Elana's blog. It is a tough busines, but somehow worth it. :)
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your header.
I like the new blog design a LOT. It's very you.
ReplyDeleteQuestion: octopus, dolphin, or turtle?
I love the blog design! Again your art skills amaze me.
ReplyDeleteNow to ask a question...hmmm...
I'm on a Disney movie kick and I'm curious--what your favorite animated Disney film?
LOVE your banner! I also enjoyed your interview over on Elana's blog. It's a pleasure to follow you on your road to many successes!
ReplyDeleteI really like the new look of the blog!
ReplyDeleteI think it really suits your fun side.

Natalie, I ADORE the new header and background! Everything looks so neat and clean and... creative! Just gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteLooks great!
ReplyDeleteI loved your interview over at Elana's.
What childhood book made the biggest impression on you?
Love the design!
ReplyDeleteI have no questions for you. I'm boring like that.de
The new blog is really fun! Question: If you could make a wish and the perfect pair of shoes appeared out of thin air, what would they look like?
ReplyDeleteNo question today, but I love the new blog look!
ReplyDeleteThe new template's fantastic, very artsy, very you! :)
ReplyDeleteQ: You want to do an interview for me sometime? Huh, huh, do ya? do ya? lol...we'll talk later haha. Umm, When you're writing and you get a Shiny New Idea, what do you do? Do you play with it? Write it down and come back later? How do you handle all the character? :)
Also, favorite kind of pasta and/or rice?
I love this new blog look. It fits your artistic side!
ReplyDeleteReading about your publication journey was a treat. Thanks!
I LOVE YOUR NEW BLOG LAYOUT.
ReplyDeleteThat is all.
See? You are so much braver than I am ... I'm a wuss when it comes to fiddling with blog templates or ANYTHING HTML. Your new digs look great!
ReplyDeleteLove the new look.
ReplyDeleteIf you became a famous author, and they asked you to compete on Dancing with the Stars, would you do it?
