I just finished reading Anna's book last night. I won it in a contest on Heather Kelly's blog. My Very UnFairytale Life is packed with humor and fun, and I enjoyed it, being a big goofball myself. I think kids are going to love this book. To me, it has an Alice In Wonderland feel to it.LynNerdKelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04167392990015741278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3901370917824739259.post-40048854995942395602011-11-15T22:35:48.020-05:002011-11-15T22:35:48.020-05:00Terrific post with sound advice - thanks to both o...Terrific post with sound advice - thanks to both of you ladies!<br />:0) RobynRobyn Hood Blackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07279289715664168026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3901370917824739259.post-73698740670612098552011-11-15T17:09:48.611-05:002011-11-15T17:09:48.611-05:00Great advice.

I should use it more, as my NaNoWriMo is a little lacking in terms of humor. Still there, but not enough of it.chihuahuazerohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15677672177353350936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3901370917824739259.post-50777302203484367422011-11-15T16:01:28.446-05:002011-11-15T16:01:28.446-05:00I love humour and humorous books.

And bringing it back home to what I enjoy is most likely the way forward! And I really loved to learn about your writing history.

I'll never forget that Jay Asher thought he would write humorous middle grade and then he experimented with Thirteen Reasons Why.Laura Paulinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06503090226508079501noreply@blogger.com
