Yay!! You have officially made my daughter's day! I can't wait to tell her.

Did you know I had a second Super Secret Project?
The press release: FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE BLOOMSBURY CHILDREN’S BOOKS TO PUBLISH THE MUCH-ANTICIPATED SEQUEL TO THE NEWBERY HONOR WINNER AND BESTSELLING NOVEL PRINCESS ACADEMY To be published August 2012 “Shannon Hale’s books blow me away. When I read them I get lost in the magic—her stories ar...
I am so impressed! I don't know if I could handle twins. I'm a twin myself and have heard all of the 'horror' stories from my mom. :) So glad I was on the other side.

Writing through the chaos
Amber asks, "Will you do a post on how you juggle writing and kids? My creative energy is completely sapped." Oh man, I am so sapped. I am a Vermont maple in winter. I've got two mobile almost-one-year-olds and a 4 yo and 7 yo and a husband, who counts as maybe a 10 yo. I'm kinda bragging, becau...
Congratulations, Carly!
I am already among your devoted minions on Twitter.

And the winner is...
Carly! She who wrote: "Oh my gosh! So exciting! I hope I win! I can't wait to read this! OF COURSE I would go to Austenland if it really existed. I am a super obsessed Austen fan and actually have my own entire wardrobe already since I do historic costuming. The idea of three weeks in the actual...
Congratulations! Will you show it at Sundance first? I hope it makes it to ATL. The new Jane Eyre movie was only shown in ONE theater here. (In a city of over 4 million??!!) If I have to, I'll fly to SLC to see this!

That's a wrap, lads and lassies
That was a line from the movie, if it stays in, and I keep thinking of it these past two days. Yesterday was our last day of filming Austenland. After the last shot, the crew gathered onto set and there was cheering, applause, some dancing to Nelly, and tears. I was surprised by my own emotion. ...
Those pictures were great. If I haven't said it before... I CANNOT WAIT TO SEE AUSTENLAND!

Photos! Leaked from set! (sort of)
Now, you know I wouldn't really leak photos from the Austenland set. As soon as photos are officially released, I'll link to them from here. I'm such a good girl. So much fun stuff I can't wait to share! In the meantime, I'll content myself with these photos. Salmon and asparagus quiche I ate,...
You should enjoy this experience! I wouldn't worry about "gushing". The people who are reading this blog are genuinely happy for you. Enjoy the rest of your stay!

7 reasons why I'm loving this
So I've been gushing a lot. And I've had it pointed out to me that not everyone enjoys sitting on set all day as much as I do. Movie sets are famously unglamourous and boring. And of course there are downsides to everything that I don't get into, because why dwell on the negative? E.g. after the...
It's so hard for me to picture chilly nights. We're still baking here in ATL. Hope your coat and gloves get there soon!

A lazy day in Austenland
We start night shoots tonight. 10-12 hours of filming = 1-4 minutes of finished movie. So anytime you see a minute or two of an outside evening/night scene in a movie, the cast and crew spent all night filming it. It's a little tricky in England in the summer, because nights are pretty short. Su...
Yay! Pictures. So cute!!

Babes in Austenland
I have enjoyed every single one of your posts! Please keep them coming. I cannot even imagine how thrilling it must be for you!

Sausage buns and good fun
It's absolutely surreal to be sitting here in the English countryside, look up, and see one of my characters walking across the grass in dress and bonnet or breeches and boots. How did you get out of my brain?! Sometimes people here apologize to me for how slow and tedious it must be to sit her...
That was such an eloquent letter. Kudos to you for writing such an amazing book that obviously means a lot to her.

A breathtaking fan letter
Oh wow. Sometimes you get a fan letter that just blows you away. I rarely share fan letters because it feels so self-indulgent (look! look! this person loves my book and SO SHOULD YOU!). I hope you'll forgive the indulgence this time because I think there's some profound truth about what books...
I'm glad you posted this. I for one, am thrilled that Stephenie Meyer wrote Twilight. For years my mother had been telling me I needed to write. I had no idea where I should even begin, so I procrastinated.
Then, I read Twilight and that gave me the inspiration I needed. Now I have an amazing literary agent and will go out on submission after we complete revisions on my YA manuscript. Wahoo!!
Oh, also, we LOVE Princess Academy in our house. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it! You're both amazing authors and it's great that you're friends!

Interview with a vampire author
In the summer of 2008 I was contacted by the fabulous Joe Monti. At the time he was with Little, Brown (and now he's an agent with Barry Goldblatt Literary - go team!). Stephenie Meyer, her editor Megan Tingley, and the Little, Brown team were working on a guide to the Twilight Saga and wante...
I know exactly what you mean about rejections. I am so grateful for every rejection I received, because now I have the most amazing agent who really understands my writing!
I'm a twin myself, so I have a very healthy dose of respect for you! (Even though I am on the other end of the spectrum.)

The exquisite beauty of rejections
I put a new page on my website in the goose girl section, recounting its reject history and including a few rejection letters. I'm so glad I saved all my rejection letters. Those of you who have come hear me speak may have seen my letters laminated into one long roll. It's satisfying now, battle...
