Thor on YAvengers

Thor has his first post up over at YAvengers! Be sure to check it out. I hear it's quite amusing.

(My apologies for not posting much here lately -- I'm still stuck in the revision cave. Should be peeking my head out soon!)

Vlog 3: John Green, Wizardry, and YAvengers

It's 12am and I should be revising, but instead I made a vlog...

UNRAVEL ME Giveaway

I had the honor of meeting the lovely, hilarious, and talented Tahereh Mafi last night on a Pitch Dark Days tour stop. It was a last-minute decision, but I'm SO glad I went. I was squeeing internally the entire time.

But because it was last-minute...I now have two copies of her book UNRAVEL ME, which comes out today. (I had pre-ordered a copy beforehand that showed up at my house today, and then I purchased a copy last night.)

I thought, why not give away the second copy?

SO, you can enter below. This contest is US/Canada only. (I'm sorry, international peeps--I'm poor.) It will run until this Friday at midnight EST.

ENTER ENTER ENTER. Trust me, you want this book.

Yet Another Interview

This is turning into the week of interviews! I have another up today as part of Writer Odyssey Wednesday over at Chasing the Crazies. I discuss writing, queries, and connecting with my agent, Alison Fargis. Check it out if you've got a second!

Some Pretty Cool (and some "meh") Updates

Hi guys! Hope your week is going well so far.

Mine was sort of not so fun yesterday, seeing as I became a brace face again. Evidence:

At least they're not as painful as I remembered them being. And hopefully they'll be off by the end of the year. (Cross your fingers and toes for me, please.)

Other slightly cooler things:

1. I purchased this wonderful pair of fingerless gloves/wrist warmers (which I'm wearing in the picture above) from Etsy. They're making writing in my cold room so much easier! Etsy is basically the greatest.

2. My edit letter came in last Saturday! Which means I'll be holing up in my room even more than usual! I'm so excited, though. I can't wait to make Extraction ready for you guys to see.

3. I have a guest post today over at Writer Writer Pants On Fire, the blog of Mindy McGinnis (author of Not a Drop to Drink). Mindy sent me a list of questions related to Submission Hell and I responded! Hopefully my answers will be helpful!

That's all for now. Ttyl!
