Writing Wednesday – Out with the In Crowd
9 December 2009
VERY special day yesterday. The UPS guy delivered my author copies of Out with the In Crowd. Unfortunately, it was a while before I could open it because McKenna was having such a good time climbing on the box. But, wow. Beautiful.
I don’t know if it’s cool or not for an author to say this, but I really loved writing this book. I was able to explore an issue very close to my heart—in high school, how much should you give up for the person you’re in love with? It’s something Ben and I wrestled with a lot, both within ourselves and with others who voiced their opinions on the subject. I’m really pleased with how the book turned out, particularly the dynamics between Skylar and Connor.
So the book officially hits shelves January 1st, though you might be able to find it in your local book store before that. Particularly your local Christian book store.
Because the books arrived, I got to do my first ever newsletter-subscriber-drawing (Okay, that totally needs a better name. Any suggestions?) The winners are Jody H., Nancy R., Morgan S., Mallory M., and Taylor A.
If you want to be entered for future releases (sorry, quick commercial), you can get the details here.
I’m going to spend a few more minutes basking in the knowledge that I’m officially multi-published, and then I’ll return to writing and being hypercritical and full of self-doubt.
Hope everyone has a great Wednesday!

Yay! So exciting. Feel free to keep basking—it’s way more fun than doubting. =)
