First I linked in from the Westerblog to read the article of your interview with Scott 15 minutes before Extras was due. I then saw the tag at the bottom for Scott Westerfeld. Natually, I clicked and ended up at this post. I must say, that after I read the blurb of Devilish, discovered it was set in a Catholic school (I attend a Catholic school) and was banned, I decided I wanted to read it. After reading your How to Revise a Book post and seeing your writing style, I now HAVE to read Devilish lol. Hopefully I'll be able to get my hands on a copy after my HSC (if I buy another book before my exams my mum will kill me lol) Hope to read more from you soon, I will now disappear and read the rest of your blog.....<BR/><BR/> - Ashmouse<BR/><BR/>P.S.

I loved the piece on Revisions (hee hee hee!) but I was mostly checking in on the Bartlesville situation, which continues to fascinate and horrify me.<BR/>I want to say: don't lose heart! Don't forget, you've already struck an immensely powerful blow to undermine Ms Rader and her ilk. You did that by writing a terrific, heartfelt book that – as well as being a riveting read – truthfully portrayed experimenting with one's sexuality, and coming out, as dramatic and consequential, sure, but also /perfectly normal/. Because of that, you've got Ms Rader scared. And her attempts to put her hands over people's eyes and shout 'don't look!' – which is all her reaction and the school board's really amounts to – will only attract more curious readers. It certainly worked for me by the way: Scary Uncle Amazon delivered my copy of Bermudez to me here in the UK a couple of weeks ago, and I enjoyed the book very much. <BR/>Keep on keeping on.

It's great! Not only am I a middle school librarian (who has all of your books in her library, thank you very much), but I am also a YA author. I'm on the second draft of my second novel, and I am definitely with you on only listening to my editor's opinion. I know for many, though, their agent likes to be the first to get their hands on a novel (which is one of the main reasons I have not pursued getting an agent yet). Is that an issue for you?<BR/><BR/>I'm glad I found your blog!

If each draft had feelings I'm sure they wouldn't even want to think they were once related. Or if there was a draft mall, where drafts go shopping, they would pass eachother completly unaware that they were created from eachother.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20580332.post-23435116408929635582007-08-22T00:11:00.000+03:302007-08-22T00:11:00.000+03:30wow...your life is crazy, and yet i wish i could m...wow...your life is crazy, and yet i wish i could more of a writer than a reader still.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20580332.post-8403520866403119362007-08-21T23:58:00.000+03:302007-08-21T23:58:00.000+03:30I love the post-its on the wall!
