So what's next? - Meagan Spooner
http://meaganspooner.livejournal.com/9896.html
Well, as so often is the case with me, my subconscious had other plans. I was just this evening wailing to my CP Amie. About how my imagination was running away with the sequel to THE IRON WOOD and not HUNTED, when I don't plan to work on said sequel unless the first book goes anywhere. Whyyyy, I kept asking, whyyyy do I always want to write the wrong book at the wrong time? I tell you guys this, because that is what I did last time, and it worked. You will no doubt be hearing a lot about HUNTED over the...

The Chickadee Tweet: {Ottawa Doula} Fat Chance: Being Pregnant and "Overweight"
http://thechickadeetweet.blogspot.com/2012/07/ottawa-doula-fat-chance-being-pregnant.html
Tuesday, July 3, 2012. Ottawa Doula} Fat Chance: Being Pregnant and "Overweight". I wrote this post a long time ago - like, 8 months ago. This was inspired by a client of mine, but I've used no identifying information and have the ultimate respect for confidentiality. This is a rant/story about an issue more of us need to be talking about - and not just for pregnant women, but for all women who dare to surpass the dreaded. At no point in this discussion are you:. A) congratulated on your pregnancy. Based...

I went to a concert! - Meagan Spooner
http://meaganspooner.livejournal.com/10531.html
I went to a concert! I went to the most AWESOME U2 concert last night. We were sitting pretty high up, but the view was amazing and I'm pretty sure we had the best seat in the house, except for maybe the chick who got pulled up onstage to dance with Bono. I've never been to such a massive concert before. I went with Amie. It was a feeling beyond description for me. To explain why, I'll give you an excerpt from THE IRON WOOD. Until now, Lark has lived her whole life inside a dome- she has never se...The s...

The Chickadee Tweet: Co-Sleeping Crisis? Or Co-Sleeping Ignorance?
http://thechickadeetweet.blogspot.com/2012/02/co-sleeping-crisis-or-co-sleeping.html
Tuesday, February 21, 2012. I just came across this article. On Baby Centre, and it angered me. I realize that they're just trying to facilitate discussion, but it's these kind of biased articles that do more damage than good. I've written about co-sleeping. Before. It's very clear that there are many benefits, and I won't re-list them here. You can read the old post! Both deaths occurred (from what I can glean from news facts! Right off the bat, my "safety" alarm bells ring! 1) The only person who is pe...

What is Dystopian Fiction? - Meagan Spooner
http://meaganspooner.livejournal.com/10359.html
What is Dystopian Fiction? Sympathy for the Devil - The Rolling Stones. Just tonight, a brand new twitterfriend asked me, What is a dystopian novel? Often the first question people ask me when I say I'm a writer is, "What do you write? The second question tends to be, "What the hell is a dystopian? And Scott Westerfeld (Uglies). Making waves in the YA market. And it’s definitely true that the genre has exploded recently, which I love. Is a word with which many of us writers, especially those of us who wr...

Cue blizzard of exclamation points! - Meagan Spooner
http://meaganspooner.livejournal.com/10794.html
Cue blizzard of exclamation points! To help explain the complete radio silence on my part lately, I have some good news and some bad news. We’ll start with the bad news: I’ve had to stop working on HUNTED. I wrote the first 30,000 words of the book in just a bit over two weeks, and have been having so much fun with it. But I’m stopping for a good reason, so that assuages my guilt somewhat. The reason, you ask? Yeah, wait for it. I HAVE AN AGENT! The other writers I’ve gotten to meet over the past few day...
