Just a little mini update, because life is crazy busy right now, but I wanted to share some good news. STILL MISSING has now sold to Taiwan! Yippee! And in just over a month STILL MISSING will be published in the States and Canada, which is almost five and a half years from when I first started the book. WOW!!On a completely unrelated topic, I'm SO happy that So You Think You Can Dance is back on. But I'm kind of annoyed that they are going the American Idol route and filming everyone's hard-luck stories. Now, I love a great story about someone overcoming adversity, obviously, but we don't know the dancers yet, nor do some of them even make it to the next round. It just feels very contrived. Like they are milking every sentimental moment for all it's worth. Does that bug anyone else?
Those hard luck stories bore me, too... Like the bio pieces during the Olympics coverage. Show more sports! Show more dance! LOL
ReplyDeleteAnd I think on Idol and SYTYCD they give some contestants an unfair advantage because some have had so much more screen time before the voting starts.
Totally! But then there are the ones where they give us ten minutes of back story and they cut them???
