  2. It snowed last night, and my kids are getting ready to play in snow for the first time, so I would just like to apologize in advance for all of the times I am going to sing “Do You Wanna Build A Snowman?” today.

  3. Snow day tomorrow! It remains to be seen whether there will be ACTUAL SNOW. My almost-four-year-old has never gotten to play in the snow before. EEP!

    The most wonderful part about this is that I really can skip what I’d planned to be the next 5,000 words of the book and just jump ahead. Whooo!

    Me: Something is wrong with book. I cannot move on until I figure out what. Also Me: Are you sure you’re not just procrastinating because you don’t want to write the next sequence? Me: Hush, you! Also Me: What if we just didn’t write the next sequence? Me: I’m listening...

    Today in my YA class, we're talking about CONFLICT. This is my very favorite lecture/workshop! SO MANY FUN EXERCISES!

    I have a cover and an official description for INHERITANCE GAMES, both of which I will presumably someday be allowed to share, but in the meantime.... EEEEEE!

    Logically, I know that the purpose of my first drafts is just to get some version of the plot and a few hints of the character arcs down on the page, so I can fix it later. I KNOW THIS. And yet...

    Mary Higgins Clark was the very first adult author I ever read. I brought one of her books in for fourth grade silent reading time, and my teacher was torn, because she LOVED Mary Higgins Clark, but was not sure I should be reading murder books quite yet. Now I write them.

    This week in my YA class, we’re talking about premise, generating tons of story ideas, and discussing these two books and the relationship between premise and other elements of story more broadly.

    This is also the time of year that I google my book titles and words like award, nominee, etc., to see if there are any state reading lists I don't know about. Some happy surprises there!

    Every year, I promise myself I will update the Faculty Activity System every time I do something so that I don't have to do it all in January, so of course, I am spending today digging through my email trying to remember every single talk or panel I gave all year long.

    That moment when you are trying to move past a rough day and you tweet about it and suddenly 40,000+ other people are right there with you.

    And the reverse is also true. Sometimes, to catch a glass kid ball, something at work has to slide, and that is okay, too. If you are juggling 55 balls, some are going to drop, so you have to focus not on broad categories, but on the glass balls.

    And her point, addressing a room full of women, was not “prioritize kids over work.” It was “some kid stuff is glass and some is plastic, and sometimes, to catch a glass work ball, you have to drop a plastic family one, and that is okay.”

    Nora was not talking about juggling five balls. She was talking about juggling FIFTY-FIVE balls. The balls don’t represent “family” or “work.” There are separate balls for everything that goes into each of those categories. “Deadline on Project Y” or “crazy sock day at school”

    As this has gone viral, I have seen a lot of people interpreting this as “your kids are the glass ball” and/or referring to speeches made by men about juggling five balls, where work is plastic and family is glass. That’s not what Nora was saying in this case.

    I think about this ALL THE TIME. I dropped more than one ball today. It is hard to drop any ball, and I hate it! But they were plastic, and tomorrow, it will be okay.
