But I absolutely LOVED Violet Rains Almost Got Struck By Lightning!! It's one of my favorite books! I have read it like 5 times! I hope it becomes a movie, that would be awesome.; February 19, 2010 at 10:21 AM
Danette Haworth said...: Hi Sandy!
Flash mobs can happen anywhere, anytime, and are usually set up online or by texting. For example (sorry if you already know this), I could go on Twitter or Facebook and say, "Bring your light sabers to Orlando Fashion Square Mall Saturday and hang at the picnic area. When the whistle blows at 12 pm, start fighting!"

It's kind of like a party--you hope a bunch of people show up, but you have no way of really knowing until it happens. I saw one on YouTube where a bunch of people showed up and, on cue, fell down as one and stayed down for a couple of minutes.

SO WEIRD! But the light sabers, now that's funny!

Hi Madeleine,
I remember you! You're always welcome here.

I'm so glad you enjoyed Violet Raines. Check out my website if you want a sneak peek at my new book, The Summer of Moonight Secrets.; February 19, 2010 at 11:56 AM

Thoughts on Writing

"It took me fifteen years to discover I had no talent for writing, but I couldn't give it up, because by that time I was too famous." --Robert Benchley

"When writers meet, they are truculent, indifferent, or over-polite. Then comes the inevitable moment. A shows B that he has read something of B's. Will B show A? If not, then A hates B; if yes, then all is well." --Cyril Connolly

"Yes, it's hard to write, but it's harder not to." --Carl Van Doren

"Writing is easy. All you do is stare at a blank sheet of paper until drops of blood form on your forehead." --Gene Fowler

"I always write a good first line, but I have trouble writing the others." --MoliFre

"What no wife of a writer can ever understand is that a writer is working when he's staring out of the window." --Burton Rascoe

"Writing is the only thing that, when I do it, I don't feel I should be doing something else." --Gloria Steinem

"I love being a writer; what I can't stand is the paperwork." --Peter De Vries

"This morning I took out a comma and this afternoon I put it back in again." --Oscar Wilde

"I will tell you a story." --Jesus (Matthew 21:28, CEV)
