Tweet Tales Tuesday Week 143

I’ve been a big fan of the Adventures in YA Publishing website for several years. It has inspiring and informative posts about all aspects of writing and is a great resource for learning more about the latest and greatest YA novels. A while back, I was fortunate to strike up an online friendship with Martina Boone, the lovely writer who runs the AYAP website. I was even luckier when I got to have lunch with her after last year’s YALLFest. She’s just as sweet and inspiring in person as she is online.
So imagine my surprise and excitement when I got an email from Martina the other day asking if I was interested in joining Adventures in YA Publishing. What!? There was an opening for the interview coordinator, and she wanted to know if I was up for the challenge. I was initially nervous because I can barely keep up with my own blog, but this was a chance to be a part of a website I’ve long admired. So I said yes, and I’m thrilled to now be a part of the AYAP team!
And now here are my 15 Minute Tweet Tales for the week:
10/15 - She envisaged life as a writer: hobnobbing with fascinating people sipping wine. Reality? Hunched over keyboard swilling coffee in her PJs.
10/16 - After the toilet paper debacle of '09 caused him to clean his bum in a way that still haunts him,he keeps a surfeit of rolls in the cabinet.
10/17 - Their mutual hatred of people undergirds their relationship. They don't particularly like each other either, but it beats being lonely.
10/18 - Tired of being lied to and cheated on, she dates a rectitudinous man. But to him, honesty is saying EVERY thing he thinks, so she dumps him.

15 Minute Tweet Tales

10/19 - She wants her in-laws to like her, so she hews her beliefs until there's nothing left of her. Now they like her, but he misses who she was.
10/20 - When the first spaceship landed, people were relieved by the bonhomie of the aliens. But some thought it was a ruse. We should've listened.
10/21 - "Missy, you'll abide by my rules-" Instead of protesting her grounding, she whips out phone and shows Dad pic she took of him with neighbor.
