Nova, an easily distractible fiction writer from the Catskill Mountains now living in New York City. I'm married to my first love and have a day job in book publishing, but other than that I am passionately irresponsible and never, ever want to grow up so please don't make me.
What:
I write short stories and novels. I've always thought of myself as a literary fiction writer, but since so many of my characters are teenagers I've started writing for young adults, too. My first original tween novel is under contract with Simon & Schuster, to be published in Fall 2009... once I finish writing it, of course. My novels for adults live unpublished under the couch.
Why:
This blog is where I can vent about exciting and inspiring writing moments and frustrating writing moments and ridiculous writing moments and of course the terrible writing moments. Not to mention all the rejections. Writers and readers and painters and photographers and collagers and magicians and puppeteers and graffiti artists—and everyone else!—welcome.
Lots of coffee? Would that help?
I had some more, thanks, yes, it does help. Still two chapters + one scene to rewrite. Someone might have to carry me home.
