Busy few days (of course, when HASN’T it been around here?) I’m finishing up my revisions on SSG2, which is currently called UNDER THE ROSE. There will be all sorts of news on the topic of the Secret Society Girl series soon soon soon. I’m starting to get really excited about other people reading the continuing adventures of Amy et al. I cherish these moments of being excited about it, as opposed to the moments where I’m nervous about it.
I think that’s one of the challenges of being a storyteller. On one hand, you have to write the book in a vacuum. You have to make the choices that are best for the story you want to tell, and not the one a critic or a fan or some hypothetical future reader might suggest to you. It’s the only way to stay sane and create a project with internal continuity. But on the other hand, you’re an entertainer. The point is to make something people like. So you have to either a) figure out something you like that people will like and/or b) make them like what you like. Bring them with you.
In other news, I saw Little Miss Sunshine tonight. I highly recommend it. I laughed so hard my stomach hurts. Phenomenal cast, great production, lovely script.
And, A Romance Review gave Secret Society Girl four and a half roses and said, “I have fallen in love with the characters and ongoing plot. It is kind of a chick-lit meets The Skulls novel, and gave me hours of entertaining reading.” Click here for the full review.
Sailor Boy and I have been working our way through our brand new DVD of Veronica Mars Season 1. Wuv. Twoo wuv. I can’t decide if I like Weapons of Class Destruction or Hot Dogs better. They both have such wonderful “LoVe” scenes (I just ran across that acronym at a fan site. Hilarious, huh? It means “Logan and Veronica = LoVe.” What will these crazy kids think up next?)
