A blog in letters

Dear Agent S.,

Thank you for taking the time to talk with me yesterday. I'm so glad you like the latest YA project! I have been thinking about some of the things you suggested, and I plan to write a new first chapter this weekend, when I have a big chunk of time. I'm excited to move forward on this, and I REALLY appreciate your help. A lot.

Yours truly,
Lisa

Dear JCPenney,

This weekend I will be visiting. With two kids and a husband in tow. I hope you have gotten more of a selection in your young men's section than the last time we visited. The kids need some slacks and a nice shirt for a wedding in a few weeks. We don't want a suit, nor do we want t-shirts and shorts. Something in between, although you seem to have trouble with that concept. Think about it - there is more to life than the beach and funerals.

Yours truly,
Lisa

Dear NBA,

My kids and I have been disappointed to miss The Biggest Loser the past two weeks. Can you pick a different night for games? Please??

Yours truly,

Dear Jennifer Donnelly,

I know I'm really late reading A NORTHERN LIGHT, and I honestly don't know what took me so long, but I have to tell you that I think your book is in my top ten all-time favorite books. I finished it days ago and still, I find myself thinking about Mattie and hoping she's okay. What a story. Thank you!

Yours truly,
Lisa

Dear Maureen Johnson,

You did an incredible thing in April, implementing BEDA, encouraging people to blog everyday in April. Alas, I didn't join in, but I'm now doing my own thing for May called ANOBIMWI, otherwise known as Almost No Blogging in May, Write Instead. Yes, I realize if everyone participated in ANOBIMWI, what a sad blogging world it would be. But I have a big book to write, not to mention an author's event, a wedding, a kid's birthday, Mother's day, Memorial day, Free Comic Book day, the Wolverine movie, and ten other things I could list but won't.

Without you, I probably wouldn't have come up with ANOBIMWI, so thanks!

Yours truly,
Lisa

Dear friends,

If you read Author2Author, I'll see you there every Friday. If not, I'll see you in June! I'll miss you. Be good!! Remember, the Beatles said it best - love is all you need. And in case you don't believe me...



Love,
Lisa
