Guess who I've been hanging out with!

Last Saturday, I was on a very fun Young-Adult panel with (left to right) Laura Preble, Debra Garfinkle, and Cindy Pon. It was at Romance Writers of America--San Diego chapter.

Our topic: Writing Young Adult. It's like writing for adults. Only different.


Catchy title, eh?

I had a great time. I loved being on a panel with three brilliant YA authors! I loved the RWA audience! I loved having lunch served to me!

And now I'm over guest blogging at Eileen Cook's blog. Eileen Cook is hilarious, asks fun interview questions, and is a little lax about getting dressed in the morning! (Sorry, Eileen, I couldn't resist!)

Tomorrow is the last day of school for my children! Yippee!

  8. I wish I could have been there. I’m working on a sporty romance for young adults and keep rewriting those romantic scenes.

  9. Sarah: I think you would've gotten a kick out of those romance writers! Do you have a chapter near you?

    Charles: I'm glad you recognized just how cool we are. Cool enough to stand in for a rock band.

    Sarkastic: Oh, fine. Now I have to confess. I didn't actually come up with that title all by myself. In fact, I may have had only a minuscule amount of input!

    Teresa: Thank you. And I hope you have a fun summer up the highway from me!
