For the two people who read my blog and don't watch Brotherhood 2.0:
In the past few days, Brotherhood 2.0 viewers have loaned several thousand dollars to people living in poverty through the great web site kiva.org. Join them!
Also, I will post my Printz speech here soon. And I will link to any of the other authors' Printz speeches if I come across them--they were all excellent.
And finally: I'm announcing here what will be announced soon on b2.0: July shall be NAtional Finish A Revision Of Your Book I Mean Seriously Come On Month (NAFAROYBIMSCOM). Anyone joining me?
That sounds like fun activity for July!
ReplyDeleteOf course, for me, it would be National Finish The First Draft Of Your Book I Mean Seriously Come On Month, but close enough. >.>
Sadly, for me, it is Finish the Revision of BOTH YOUR BOOKS THAT YOU HOPED WOULD BE OVER BEFORE YOU WENT ON VACATION month
ReplyDeletebut yeah.
I'm with you
NAFAROYBISMSCOM might be just the ticket.
ReplyDeleteHmmmmmm . . .
too late. i already finished my revision and agent already sent it out--BUT if someone buys it i suppose i'll be revising again--come on july! second book's only on chapter 3. suppose i could revise the first three over and over and over again. =9
ReplyDeletewhen is your new book coming out? we're waiting...
I'm sort of with you on this. I'm thinking of mine as National Rewrite Your Book I Mean Seriously Come On Season. I want to be done before the autumnal equinox arrives. (For no reason except that it will be twelve weeks and twelve weeks sounds... doable.)
ReplyDeleteI will be joining you for the July NFTFDOYBIMSCOM because I have like 12 books I have to write.
ReplyDeletealso, I will go to kiva.
also, I am glad that you post important b2.0 things on your blog so that I may be aware of the important things.
also, it was so great seeing you in DC.
also, in case you were wondering, I am very happy and having an amazing and wonderful time here in Amherst. Just FYI.

July for me is National Review Copyedits Write Something for an Anthology and Submit a Third-Book Proposal while Also Having Your Mother and Sister Stay With You in a Tiny Condo for Five Days Let'sHopeNoOneGetsHurt Month.
ReplyDeleteI'm not even going to try to make the acronym.
Yeah, I'll join you. I've dilly-dallied enough already. I've got to get this done!
ReplyDeleteI'm in for NAFAROYBISMSCOM. Although my personal subtitle on that is: While also working on a draft of book 4, promoting current release, taking chem and calc summer session and spending three days a week at the hospital researching and volunteering.
ReplyDeleteYes, that sums up my lazy summer very nicely.
Sign me up! I'm going to revise the draft I finished during November's NaFADOYBIMSCOM!
ReplyDeleteJohn, as always, you're made of 100 percent awesome
There are still several of us reading here, silly John.
ReplyDeleteI will be participating in NAtional KEep Writing POems For Your Book I Mean Seriously Come On Month (NAKEWPOFYBIMSCOM) for July. Thanks for the motivation.
I could try (she says wincing) bring on the no-doz ... hi john - do you know if katherines will come out in Australeeee?
ReplyDeleteI'm with you.
ReplyDeleteNational Finish A Revision Of Your Book I Mean Seriously Come On Month will maybe work.
Or maybe not. I'm starting to think this thing is going to go from 40k to 10k by the time I'm finished with it.
Ugh.
Oh boy! This is so tempting, but I just finished my 5th round of revisions and I'm letting it sit for the summer. September will be my NAFAROYBISMSCOM.
ReplyDeleteGood luck!

I'm there. July it is! Thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDelete(And may I just add that men in kilts do wonders for reducing world suck.)
I'm in, too. And I'm actually trying to finish by July 21st so I can read Harry Potter guilt-free.
