I’m busy doing a massive freelance project due the day I leave for the Thanksgiving holiday, so I surely should not be blogging at a time like this. What has gotten into me?

Oh, if you know me at all, you know how easily distracted I am. I get the best writing done when I’m closed up in a room for hours on end, have to be quiet, have no internet and no TV and can’t talk on the phone… and dinner’s not until six. There’s really not much else to do but write.*

Anyway, like some other authors I know, I’ve been struggling with how best to use Facebook. I don’t want to annoy my friends and family, but I also want a way to get book news out there and be able to talk about my books and writing and all that. And I don’t want to have to force people to be my friend either.

So… I made this Facebook page last night. You can “like” it, to keep up with future news about my book, or you can “like” it just be nice to me. Or you don’t have to like it, really. I’ll probably make more use of it in the future, when there’s stuff to tell you about Imaginary Girls.

Also, another fun distraction is that I keep meaning to put up a FAQ page on my websites to answer questions I get a lot from readers… If you have any burning questions for me, feel free to leave them in the comments, or you can ask them completely anonymously on Formspring. I’ve started answering some questions there, but I’ll collect some to put up in the FAQ.

Finally, what’s the best first-person novel you’ve read lately? I love first person, and I’m always hungry for new voices. I am dying to read this novel.
