I write humorous fantasy for children and YA and my agent is Andrea Cascardi of the Transatlantic Literary Agency.
I moved so many times growing up that I don't know where I'm from.
My dad is an artist and my mom is a musician so wherever we were, I grew up near ceramics, glassblowing, and painting studios, including some formative years in an artists' commune. Maybe some day I'll write a book about that.
"Lessons from Project Runway" is by me. And here's a ghoooost story, Ghost Walk in Gatlinburg. I will spare you links to the many blog posts and press releases I've written for various clients, in spite of how gripping "A Brief History of Hard Paste Porcelain and its Use in Insulators" is.
Oh Carol… when faced with an giant robot thingy (with the name “THE END”), your first instinct is to ask…
“who wins in a fight? cavemen or astronauts?”
crazy awesome… on the side note, KELLY SUE HAVE YOU SEEN THIS!?

“Hey bro. Bro! You reading Hawkguy bro? Missin’ out bro.
Because brilliant storytelling + phenomenal art + great characterisation + amusing plots = omg, want.”
One does not simply cut a scene with Daryl and a horse.
But I want to see this! Hope it makes the blu ray extras.
Okay before I got to the caption I seriously thought “Oh they’re just putting bags over the heads of the walkers now. That makes more sense then going to the trouble of trying to smash their teeth out without accidentally smashing their heads in. Good job you guys,” because I’m either a moron or a genius
Hey guys,
I’m winding down this blog a bit. I’ll still post, but not several times a day any more, it’ll be more sporadic.
HOWEVER, if you’re a writer, especially an aspiring novelist, do check out my new blog, http://desperatelyseekingwords.tumblr.com/ which I update every weekday. It’s a funny gif-based blog along the lines of Life in Publishing - I promise you will laugh or, you know, your money back :P
“Writing and reading decrease our sense of isolation. They deepen and widen and expand our sense of life: they feed the soul. When writers make us shake our heads with the exactness of their prose and their truths, and even make us laugh about ourselves or life, our buoyancy is restored. We are given a shot at dancing with, or at least clapping along with, the absurdity of life, instead of being squashed by it over and over again. It’s like singing on a boat during a terrible storm at sea. You can’t stop the raging storm, but singing can change the hearts and spirits of the people who are together on that ship.” ― Anne Lamott, Bird by Bird: Some Instructions on Writing and Life
