Please Make Your Kids Like Me

What? Too much? Too soon?

I know, I know, still 5+ months to go until The Pull of Gravity launches...

But see, that's just the thing. I need your kids here, now, distracting, er, interacting with me, giving me feedback, stomping their feet at the stuff we don't like and exalting at the stuff that we do like. Because how else do I pass the time?

I know you grown up guys come here, and sure, you're great, but you've got my Facebook page and that Trying to Stay Afloat place where I talk about jellyfish stings, and getting older and how much I hate to do laundry.

Ok, fine, no offense, but it's just that you're stuffy and BO-ring.

So, I want your 12+ kids! Especially if they love to read or write because I'd LOVE to do some of that kind of stuff here: post excerpts from new manuscripts and see what they think, get their critiques (have you ever shown your words to a 14 yr old kid? They're ruthless and honest! It's glorious!!!). I also want to read their words (er, not too too many of them, but small bites) and give feedback to them too. Did you know there's a new publisher who plans to focus solely on teen authors? It's the best time for a young adult to write! I want them to come here and "talk" to me, so we can inspire each other. I'd like to talk YA books with them, and have them help me spread the word.

So, if you've got any of those kind of kids floating around, please send them here to me. Tell them to introduce themselves in the comment section and let's get some sort of bloggy thing going.

Because what's the writer's life in this day and age without some sort of bloggy thing going?
