Tim, I love seeing you on the blog! Keep showing up. Thanks for the recommendations, and high five on <em>A Tale of Two Cities</em>. And which one are you saying is like a fine wine--that one, or <em>Wuthering Heights</em>? I know it has to be Dickens. He is the MASTER. Patrick, if you were within range I would so slap you. And why is it fair that you're so much funnier than I'll ever be? Can you explain that? Judy, I think I'm ready to agree with you on that. I really do use it to process. But if I give in, then you-know-who gets his triumph. Although I like your position on that in the next post. You're a clever one. Kelley, I love that you guys can't shut up! That's why I miss you! Little Willow, thanks for the early review.

Writing always helped me in processing what was going on, and of COURSE you need to process your visit to the school in order to use what you saw and learned in your book...

I know you're all just dying to hear about books for boys who don't like to read... Here are two sure winners: Crackback, by John Coy. A football story that anyone would love. Diamonds in the Dust, by Caroline Cooney. Her creepiest work yet: a story about a family that takes in refugees. and, Jacob's Ladder, by Brian Keeney. It's getting mixed reviews, but I loved it. A boy wakes up in what might be heaven, might be hell. There, now your holiday shopping list is complete. Btw, the first book I ever loved was A Tale of Two Cities. The second book was Wuthering Heights. Some things are like a fine wine and others are not. Hey All…

You're right, Patrick, I do want to post! So badly! It's like giving up chocolate or something! It hurts! I went back to my high school yesterday to sit in on classes all day, and I have much to say about it! But if I can't stick to my reduced schedule for even one week, what good is that? Stop tempting me, you evil man. Shhhhh. Little Willow, thanks for your report. I always like it when you check in. Katie the Sis, tell your friend we all say he's a FREAK and he's WRONG and we're all united in this. Peer blog pressure always works. I'm sure he'll do what we say. Liz, I laughed when I saw that, because you're totally right, and I totally forgot that, too. And that is the kind of thing that pops into your head while you're doing something else, and then you can't wait to correct yourself. Dylan, I will teach another teen writing class in the spring, once I finish my work and come up for air. Maybe March? Keep watching the Changing Hands newsletter. Vivian, isn't it scary to think about the kind of guy you would have fallen for then versus now? (Actually, I think it's good to know that's changed. Our tastes in high school can be so weird.)

You know you want to post something and you've done a lot of writing today. It's ok to post after you do a lot of writing for the day. It is. It really is. Really! And if you miss your deadlines, you can always blame it on me. It's a legitimate excuse in 23 countries. C’mon… You know you want to post something and you’ve done a lot of writing today.
