3/6/09 10:10It has been a while since I've posted writing progress, perhaps because I was so frustrated with starting over twice. But I feel now like this is the for-realsies first draft.

Up tonight:
June 3 -- Teen Author Reading Night (6-7:30, Jefferson Market Branch of NYPL, 425 6th Ave, at 10th St.)
Micol and David Ostow, So Punk Rock
Elizabeth Scott, Love You Hate You Miss You
Delia Sherman, The Magic Mirror of the Mermaid Queen
Jennifer Smith, You Are Here
Suzanne Weyn, Distant Waves
Jake Wizner, Castration Celebration
Jessica Wollman, Second Skin
Castration Celebration: That other teen novel about teens writing/staging a weird, offbeat musical. I'm sort of reminded of high school, senior year awards night. I was waitlisted for Cornell. The kid at our high school who'd gotten into Cornell got an award. My sister leaned over and whispered, "That's the guy you've gotta kill."
Not really. This town is big enough for the both of us.

Tidbits from YA reading
3/6/09 19:07Jake Wizner, author of Castration Celebration, relates that his name got on a white power web site, with the headline:
"Jew teacher advocates castration." (The book, for the record, does not advocate castration. The author of the musical, in the book, has been soured on men, so...)
Curiously, two of the authors (Jessica Wollman and Jake Wizner, who is a teacher and writes during the summer) said that they didn't write every day because they had full-time jobs. I had been working under the assumption that you really should write every day even if you do have a full-time job. (Not that I manage it. It's been about five-six days a week at best.)
