Hey y’all! Long time, no blog. (Your patience is appreciated while I’m working on my own book, letting off smaller amounts of verbal steam here and here as I go.)
I have, as far as I know1, a whopping total of 55 words in the above anthology, all originating with Twitter. I didn’t send anything in particular to the editor, but told him he could use whatever he wished from my posts; I’m told this post as well as this one made it in.
But there are several hundred more contributors, many of them writers and comedians you may have actually heard of (even if all you know about Twitter is that it’s something CNN won’t shut up about), such as John Hodgman, Margaret Cho, Diablo Cody, Neil Gaiman, Paula Poundstone, Eugene Mirman, Susan Orlean, and Ana Marie Cox.
AND if you’d like to get your mitts on a copy, you can do so while also benefiting Team Lucy Kate for the March of Dimes. Rad, huh? (More on Lucy Kate, who is presently recovering from heart surgery, here.)
Go, Team Lucy Kate!
Lucy Kate, August 24

1 Going here on what I’ve been told made the book, by someone who had an advance reader; haven’t received my contributor’s copy yet.
