  1. How great to get some insight into Elizabeth Scott's process! I loved Living Dead Girl, so I'll have to pick up Something Maybe.

    Thanks for this!

  2. I completely agree about the reading thing, you pretty much described everything I love about reading and poetry in a better way than I ever could. <3

  3. Sounds like the reading is basicly what I reall love about it too. We're finishing our poetry unit with my family and I'll miss it.

  9. It is so fun listening to Elizabeth talk. So so fun. I loved Something, Maybe and I CANNOT wait for The Unwritten Rule.
    I'm so glad she's trying to get in to poetry. It's one of my favorite genres. :]

  12. She's so cool!!! When she's describing the poetry you can really tell how much she loves it. I can't help but smile. :) I'm also jealous of her willpower to just sit down and write, even if she doesn't feel like it. As a procrastinator I could never do that.

  14. I never read a lot of poetry in school, either.

    And my all time fave thing to do is read. I couldn't live without reading!

  15. Yay! I know what she means about wanting to read everything--there are so many interesting books in non-fiction as well as fiction. I love just grabbing a book about combating human trafficking and chocolate recipes and ethics and designer babies all in the same visit to the library. =]
