THE SOUND OF SUCKING
Here’s the big announcement: My next book is tentatively titled MY FAVORITE FANGS and is a retelling of “The Sound of Music” in which the von Trapps are vampires, and Julie Andrews is an ass-kicking undead killer. It’ll be published by Thomas Dunne Books/St. Martin’s Press in either late 2011 or early 2012.

Today's Beatles poll
Other than “Ebony and Ivory” because it’s so obvious, give us your fave guilty pleasure from an ex-Beatle. (Mine is “Hi, Hi, Hi” by Macca. Yeah, it’s lame, lame, lame, and cheesy, cheesy, cheesy, but I still kinda like it, like it, like it.)

Sample #WhyWritersRule Tweets: No other profession has raised procrastination to an art form. We invented snark. Without us, no publishing industry. No publishing industry, no “Twilight” books for me to make fun of. #FuckEdwardCullen Imagine a world where the Iowa Writers Workshop was, I dunno, the Iowa Douchbag Workshop or the Iowa Nosepickers Workshop. Do you think Stephen...

A good day...so far
It’s a beautiful November day (I’m wearing shorts outside), I have a Mingus tune zipping through my head (specifically “Peggy’s Blue Skylight”), my fave seat at my fave Starbucks was available, and I dinged my back while I was in an Eagle pose, but 2 Advils took care of that.
