What’s the anime freak listening too now? ADVANCEMENT OF THE MUSIC BOX by David Frick

Well, you want to know what it’s like to be a teen and fighting to get published?

Setback #1:  Conferences are expensive.

The South Carolina Writer’s Workshop is coming up. Its faculty is made up of 10 Authors, 10 Editors, and 10 Agents, and I REALLY want to go.

So I asked my grandmother if I could work for the little company she owns while my family is visiting Texas this summer.

Her company is a gymnastics studio. Gymnastics Plus.

Kind of ironic, considering the rant at the beginning of my second book–a satire of all things related to the “American Anorexia Physique.”

So I’m spending two weeks counting leotards (At least I don’t have to wear them!), with my Uncle dropping in every day to inform me the toilet’s stopped up.

Hey, whatever it takes.
