Since I need to focus on getting final alts finished on Stand-In Groom today, I thought I’d get someone else to talk to you about writing today. So here’s Meg Cabot’s advice on writing:

    Yay, I adore Meg Cabot! Her Heather Wells mysteries are some of my favorites (Size 12 is Not Fat, Size 14 is Not Fat Either, and Big Boned.) She’s an auto-buy for me.

    Meg Cabot is one funny lady. I’ve read a couple of her Princess Diaries books (I started typing Princess Bride…that’s not right, LOL) and her two young adult regency romances (Nicola and the Viscount and Victoria and the Rogue). Also her novel Every Boy’s Got One was hilarious!

    I’ve wanted to read the Princess Diaries books cause I love the movies (yes, even the 2nd one) but haven’t gotten around to it.

    Georgiana – I may have to check out the Size 12 is Not Fat – that sounds cute!

    Ah, Princess Diaries, eh? I guess that first one was pretty cute. Plus, it gave us Anne Hathaway. Who can complain about that?

    Thanks for the post. I love Meg as well. I had a shameless addiction to the Princess Diaries books shortly after the first movie came out…and my cousin who’s eight years younger than me read them at the same time:) Why I write for kids! Loved her comment about the “idea store”–I should say I go there next time someone asks where my ideas come from. Sometimes I wonder what they expect me to say…

    Her advice is so simple, yet so difficult to implement consistently! Hmm, sounds like a lot of things.

    Cute video. OK, time to put time in on my WIP.
