In case you don’t know enough yet
About me, I mean, our friends Eisha and Jules over at Seven Impossible Things Before Breakfast have posted their interview of me. So if you’re wondering what more I can possibly reveal, leave it the Seven Impossiblers to ferret it out.
Seriously, I love their interviews of bloggers and authors. It’s like Inside the Actor’s Studio for the literary world.
Thanks, E & J! I wish I lived next door to you, too.

Thanks for playing! You were fun to grill (that makes you sound like a slab ‘o meat, but you know what I mean).
Nice interview;that was the first time I’ve read Seven Impossible Things Before Breakfast(great background layout! Of course,yours is the best,Robin but theirs is good,too)and will definitely keep an eye on that blog in the future.
The pleasure was all ours, Robin. You’re a great interviewee!
Robin, I do not have time for your humility. You were nominated for BBYA for God’s sake. Would you please proclaim your own greatness for like, five seconds, please?
Molly, I like how even your compliments sound harsh. Yes, I’m THRILLED that Evolution has been nominated for a Best Books for Young Adults. But no, not going to proclaim my own greatness. Sorry. Just extreme gratitude.
Lady T, I agree Eisha and Jules have a killer-looking site. Plus, they’re might entertaining, so I’m glad you’ll be checking them out.
E & J, pleasure’s all mine.
killer interview–i just might take a look at that “revolution” book after all. rb, don’t give up the ef word, chocolate is enough sacrifice for one lifetime.
ps to e. and j. what a great, fun, suck–you-in and let you play site. i wish i was a ya author, maybe even ya book of the year winner–sigh…
I read that whole thing and not one mention of me…
I guess I am ok with that. This time.
That was the most unbelievably precious photo of you and Bear. Such sweet, puppy goodness.
Great interview, Robin. Loved it. And super congrats on the nomination!
My only quibble is the Patrick got billing and I didn’t.
Patrick, as you can see, Heather caught the reference to you in the interview (and by the way, Heather, I had nothing to do with that–that was Jules’ work), so Patrick, settle down.
Annette, you’re right–it is a fun site, but you don’t have to be a YA author to play there. Right, Eisha and Jules? All they (and any of us want) is someone fun and nice to chat with. So if you think you fit the bill (and I know you do), stay and play there.
Oh my goodness, yes, everyone is welcome. We’re just a couple of librarians, and we basically just talk about books a lot, and sometimes interview bloggers or authors. No pressure, nothing fancy, just geeky, snarky goodness.
Yes, come and chat and play at 7-Imp any time. If you’re talking about the interview series, we’re interviewing bloggers (and now some authors).
Yes, mentioning Patrick was my evil doing. I always look forward to his comments; they made me laugh and snort milk outta my nose and such. I need to actually go visit his site, but, well, I have no excuses — except that I have two young children who, by the end of the day, have sucked all energy out of me. And sometimes life. They’re really vampire children. Night Children. They’re . . . oh this isn’t funny. I’m gonna shut up now.
Seriously, though, my almost three-year-old has learned to do an Evil Laugh (”mwahahahahahahaha”), and it’s quite amusing.
One day I’ll actually visit the Space Lord’s site and see who he really is.
Hmmm… Getting ‘please install PHP’ errors. Not sure if this is a multiple post now. I fix the internet by clicking back send back send back send until it works. So if this suddenly has 142 posts, I fixed it. You’re welcome.
Yes! Jules mentions me and you don’t! As I said. I’m ok, this time.
Next time think of this:
If Heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the Pearly Gates?
“If you put a good word in for me with Patrick, The Space Lord, I’ll let you in. Otherwise, remember what you did in third grade? I’m gonna have to say no. Rules are rules — unless you know Patrick.”
Ok, I’ve just read ALL the blog notes for the last few days-I’ve had kids with stomach flu, so you can imagine how out of the real(?) world loop I am. What a great interview!! And that puppy face! It was the first time I’ve seen that site also and thought it cool too. I found the info about scabs very useful and now will let my kids pick to their hearts content. Please don’t give up the ef word-it is a tremendously useful, even essential, word for daily life. I couldn’t get through most days without it, in fact, some days, it’s about all I say…
Deborah, I see I need to clarify about scabs: picking scabs = not good. Having scabs = not good. What we want is to avoid scabs forming by keeping wounds covered with bandages so dirt and air and other healing inhibitors don’t get to it.
If you do get a scab, the nice thing to do for your body is soak a washcloth in hot, hot water, then lay it on the scab to soften it (don’t scrub). When the cloth gets cool, dump it again in hot water.
The deal with scabs is they become scar tissue. And while your kids may think it’s cool to have all those battle injuries, you might want to stop the scar count at, oh, twenty (if my nephew is any indication).
And I hate to tell you, but you’re fired as my Cussers’ Anonymous sponsor.
Because of course I agree with you. But I still need to quit. Don’t I?
No, you don’t need to quit. Sometimes that is the ONLY WORD which will do. Period.
The trick with the F word is to use it sparingly so when it DOES come out of your mouth (loudly and like the expletive it’s meant to be) it has maximum shock value. Like when I said it in front of Joel Gray before I knew he was standing there, and before I realized who that very familiar looking guy was . . . at which point my mouth dropped open and I did a very credible impersonation of a f-ing idiot.
BBYA??? Oh how COOL! Congrats!
I’m sure Joel has forgiven you any geekery. Or else he tells that story at parties.
Robin,
Great interview!
Vivian
Thanks, Vivian! Jules and Eisha asked some great questions. They made the whole thing easy.
