I'm author ELLE STRAUSS and welcome to my website!
I write fun, lower Young Adult (teen) fiction to do with whimsical things like time-travel, fairies and merfolk.
When my serious side peeks out, she's called LEE STRAUSS. She likes to write upper YA about real things that have happened in the past, or made up things that could quite possibly happen in the future.
This blog is about books, mine and other fab authors', but occasionally I'll share about other topics.
I wish I could, but I think that would break my whole "limiting the internet to avoid getting migraines" thing. Can you give me the recap? No. Bummer. I'll have to flag it to watch after I have this baby.
finally had a chance to watch! ooo... the first part about what is publishing made me think of *why* I want to be a published novelist. Sometimes/most of the time, it's because I want everybody to read my stories and LOVE THEM! ;o) The other time, like when I'm having to leave my beautiful house and move 800 miles north, is to make TONS OF MONEY!!! *snort* ;o)
I lurv her analogy of the knife... and, hey! I eat a lot of cheese sandwiches! ;p She is so funny--thanks, Elle. I just might blog on this. Signed, your dead moose/mooch friend~ ;p
Ugh. I'm always stumbling upon these things when I can't watch the video. I'm in a roomful of people watching TV right now. I'll make a mental note to come back to this later.
You're right. That was so worth twenty minutes. Thanks for posting!
