Picture it. It’s well past 8 on Saturday night. You’re sitting on your couch, fully immersed in the book you’re reading. You’re vaguely aware of someone pounding up your stairs, but it doesn’t register with you until there’s a loud banging on your door, followed by heavy footsteps quickly descending.
Now picture finding a package on your doorstep that you weren’t expecting until the 28th, at least. And inside…Go Teen Writers: Write Your Novel, plus the newest Nevermoor by Jessica Townsend.
What’s your response?
I’m not ashamed to say I jumped and eyed the door suspiciously at first, but then I hugged the books to my chest as soon as I freed them from their packaging. Nevermoor is safely tucked away on my shelf until next week—self control, Jen. Self control—but I’ve already marked some quotable quotes from Stephanie, Jill, and Shannon.
I knew as soon as Go Teen Writers: Write Your Novel was announced that this book would be one that encourages a lot of writers, so I added a second one to my card when I made the purchase. But you’ll have to wait until after the New Year to discover why. I know. Mean. (Hint: You’ll want to be signed up for my newsletter, if you’re not already!)
In other news, it’s Christmas week! Whether you’re writing this week or fully immersing yourself into holiday festivities with the fam, I hope it’s a wonderful one. And if you can see the sky tonight, be sure to go look for the Christmas Star for me!
