Question Time

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.

  1. Yay Q&A!

    oooh 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)

  2. Okay okay. Let's see...

    How long before you landed Nathan Bransford when querying?

  3. I love the new background. Did you design it yourself?

  4. Liking the new background! I got some questions for you missy.

    1) 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...

  5. 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.

  6. I 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.)

  7. Oooo cute new look! I look forward to the finished product.

    ("Finished." Hehe. Blogs, like books, never really seem finished to their creators, do they? :P)

  9. You are about to die. What are your epic last words?

  10. Elana's awesome! I can't wait to read her interview!

    Question: 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!)

  11. I like the new background. I'm thinking of re-designing my own.

    Great 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?

    Hmmm...questions...OK.

    If you did draw a background like this one, what would you put in it?

  18. 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?
