Kevin Williamson Made My Day!

After the whole hoopla with Publisher's Weekly, I didn't really think this week could top last week, but then when I woke up this morning--OH so early to teach my class-- suddenly... this week totally won!

I discovered that Leah (who is AWESOME) passed my latest Vampire Diaries recap onto Kevin Williamson via twitter. How did I not know that Kevin Williamson was on twitter? Seriously, fighting with my printer is addling my brain and btw we are still NOT on speaking terms!


But moving on, what did Kevin Williamson-- the genius behind the Vampire Diaries, Dawson's Creek, Scream, and Teaching Mrs. Tingle (which by the way I had to watch at least 100 times while I was waiting to hear from colleges) have to say about my recap?

kevwilliamson now that's a recap. loved it.

AAAAAHHH! So you know what, Il Primo! The next time you're breathing down my neck and telling me to quit being on the internets, and it's INTERNET! INTERNET! Not internets! Drop the s! My response to you will just be @Kevin Williamson!

Il Primo: Frankie, work on your WIP! Delete more words, kill more adjectives, stay off the INTERNETS!

Frankie: Oh yeah, Il Primo?!?!!?

Il Primo: YEAH!

Frankie: @Kevin Williamson!

Il Primo:....

Frankie: :-)

Ok, seriously, this is very cool. I have loved Kevin Williamson's work since I was 16-that's a whole decade, ie., that's a loooooong time! (And for the record I could not stomach Dawson's Creek after he left). He has definitely had an influence on my writing -I love how self aware his characters are and how often they will say something completely ridiculously true though you have no idea at the moment. Come on, who doesn't love Pacey going on about that movie with the hockey players and the ducks...with that guy...that guy... when you know he, Pacey, Joshua Jackson was THAT guy in the movie. Too good! So the fact that Kevin Williamson even maybe looked at something I wrote for a second, totally had me grinning for an hour straight. Until I had to wipe it off my face and put on my "I'm a totally strict teacher poker face for class."

But then I went right back to grinning when it was over! So....not a whole lot to report on the Nanorevismo front-Tuesdays are never good writing days for me because of my work schedule. Though rumor says there are more armadillos on the loose...

But here is some excitement!

You can still enter to win an ARC of Lauren Kate's Fallen! Contest ends 11/20 (the same day New Moon is in theaters!)

Thank you to The Bookologist for featuring an interview with me and the FNC chicas at her blog today.

Super thank you to the Vampire Diaries Online for featuring my recap! (Btw you can access all of the recaps at the FNC now through my sidebar)

And now...I'm off to grade papers!

  1. Your weeks just keep getting more and more epic. Pretty soon I'll be saying I knew you when... (And you BETTER not forget the little people *cough me cough* when you get there!) :)

    PS-It's things like this that TOTALLY validate my Twitter obsession. I have the Tweet where Michael Buckley (one of my favorite writers) told me my tweets are so funny they make him pee his pants marked with a "favorites" star.

  4. I know, it's crazy! Trust me, I don't forget anyone! Least of all you, Shannon-you're epic!!!

    And yes, I only started taking twitter seriously like a few weeks ago, but wow, its sooooo cool!!! And the funny thing is, I was pretty convinced that no one was reading those recaps and I was about to quit doing them, but it was like the Universe stepped in and said, ummm no, wait you have to keep going.


    And Sara, you are soooo much more famous than me, silly!

    Thanks Anonymous. Love the anonymous love!

  10. Thanks Southern Princess.

    Oh Yeah Donna!

    Lila, I love that idea, I'm in! Just need to fix my resume.


    And Sarah, all of this fame is for you, so my blurb is worth more=bigger sales for your book. ;)
