Did you guys see that Leah Cypess, another Greenwillow author, did an AMA on Reddit? I told my editor I could do one of those! All the answers would be the same!
I don't think so. Looks like a 10 to me. (not really a compliment)
jk
Just started re-reading QoA because I left my iPad AND my phone at home so I didn't have a book at work (horrors!!). Luckily I had loaned out QoA and my co-worker had it on her. Whew. Close. Anyway, it was so lovely to read. So take your time, Megan.
Yes, that's me. As you all know, I don't tweet and I don't blog, but I've been thinking that maybe I could handle a tumblr account. It seems to be pictures, mostly. I thought it would be nice to have one place to stick stuff so that I can go back and look at it later, and I see so many things that I'd like to capture by re-blogging. For example, I just found out that one can google "megan whalen turner" and "tumblr." Wow. That was amazing.
I understand there is something called "pinterest" but for the love of little green apples, don't tell me how that works.
It's much better that I stick to the shallow end of the internet.
I'm impressed--for the life of me, I cannot figure Tumblr out. In fact, I *know* I created a login when they had the DWJ tribute, but I can't even get logged in. But Pinterest is super-easy! (and a huge time-sucker)
As the kids say, "This! So much this!" tumblr is to me so confusing and strange that it makes me get a little angry when I try to use it. That and the fact that all I ever seem to see is pictures of Benedict Cumberbatch...
Tumblr is a labyrinth, but as someone who's been using it for a few years now, I tried and failed to make the switch to Pinterest. Tumblr is my home. (I think of it as the nerdy, wordy, shadow-dwelling cousin of bright and shiny domesticity of Pinterest.)
I'm intrigued to know your url. In the interest of fair trade, here's mine: quothshe.tumblr.com (it's mostly just pictures of random pretty things which in some way inspire me or remind me of something that inspires me.)
I felt the same way when I first started on Tumblr!! Coming from LJ, it's quite disorienting. When I started out, my BIGGEST frustration was the lack of commenting system. Like if you want to comment on somebody's incredibly insightful post, you can't do it, unless you reblog the post and write your comments there; and I think that's kind of weird, because nobody really gets to see your comment unless they go to your blog. So yeah, trying to have discussions on Tumblr is quite painful.
I find Tumblr quite impersonal for that very reason.
But I have succumbed to the dark side, because half the Legend of Eli Monpress fandom is on Tumblr and I have failed to get them over this side of the fence.
O Great MWT, the PYT, I'll call you Megan coz in my head we are super close... when you finish book number 5 "The Skinnydippers in Eddis's Volcano That's Gonna Go Boom Over Attolia" (Thanks inkasrain) , - I assume you'll be touring worldwide, to the far reaches of the Pacific ocean and beyond, let me know if you need a place to stay when you inevitably come to Australia. If you give me some notice, I'll make sure the flies are gone too.
Sorry for being generally MIA, and lurking at best. It's not for lack of love, just lack of time :( But I'm listening to audio versions of all the books, for probably the fiftieth time. I've turned some more friends on to this series, and they're all absolutely thrilled. (How could they not be ;)
Keep up the amazing work <3 I have no doubt the next book will be worth the agonizing wait
NOBODY EXPECTS THE NEXT MWT BOOK! Her main weapon is Unreliable Narrators! Unreliable Narrators and awesomes ... her two main weapons are Unreliable Narrators, awesomes, and these nice Mede coats - damn, I'll come in again...
I do suggest, Ms. Megan, that when you announce the next book, you peek in over Martha Mihalick's shoulder to watch Twitter EXPLODE. Honestly, it'll be chaos. Everyone should be able to witness their own handmade natural disaster.
She is correct. You should have seen what happened yesterday simply because you posted something fairly innocuous on Tumblr. We exploded all over the place. I would suggest you join so you could see without Martha's help, but you don't need the distraction. :-)
Mwt: while you are visiting our fair fansite, do you have any reading suggestions for us? I'm running really thin on books worth reading. You realize that other books are just a way to pass the time in between your novels, right?
