Hoo boy, have there been changes on the NINTH GRADE SUCKS front. Thanks to Paul asking me a particularly brilliant question (really, that’s not sarcasm…it was brilliant), I’m going back to the beginning and starting my revisions anew. But, it should be a kick-butt sequel to EIGHTH GRADE BITES, so I’m super excited about it.

The lovely Martha O’Connor, author of The Bitch Posse (if you haven’t read it, RUN to your nearest bookstore, because it’s AMAZING), tagged me for the five things about you meme…and it’s such a fun meme, that I have no problem coming up with five more things about me…

1) I’m completely anal about all the can labels in my pantry facing forward. Many people gasped at how evil the husband from “Sleeping with the Enemy” was for insisting on this…I just viewed him as orderly.

2) I can’t sleep with my socks on at night, no matter how cold my feet get, because my feet can’t breathe.

3) I’ve been addicted to Diet Pepsi for several years and, much to my surprise, I can’t seem to quit it.

4) I had never considered writing for tweens and teens until Vlad popped into my head.

5) My desk is home to many unorthodoxed things that I need to write. Such as my gargoyle, my frozen Charlotte doll, and my leprechaun in a jar.

I’m going to tag JA Konrath, Melanie Lynne Hauser, Ewoh Nairb, Ally Carter, and Nichole.
