| 8:58 pm | katie_bowden: | @marybrebner I’m trying for three times a week. Do you aim for updating on the same days of the week? #kidlitchat |
| 8:58 pm | aecverost: | @Becky_Levine – The best thing to do is ask your editor any PR q’s you have – they forward the queries on to the inhouse team! #kidlitchat |

| 8:59 pm | rillajaggia: | Too late…the wound was mortal. RT @mikalroy: @rillajaggia (bows down) #kidlitchat |
| 8:59 pm | Becky_Levine: | @storyconnection FB fanpage–trying to decide whether/what to do there for my critique-group book. #kidlitchat |
| 8:59 pm | Evilgenius333: | @rillajaggia #kidlitchat @chris_Kringle And @haller_fyenic interact w/ the audience. It’s a prologue that takes place 2 years before series |
| 8:59 pm | kdueykduey: | @storyconnection I don’t get the fan pages, and honestly, they now annoy me except for the causes…. #kidlitchat |
| 8:59 pm | sarahshum: | @mikalroy is that your cat furiously rubbing? gigglefest #kidlitchat |

| 8:59 pm | mikalroy: | @HilaryWagner1 Yup, we scour. (See, @mitaliperkins?) #kidlitchat |
| 8:59 pm | JoanneFrench: | #kidlitchat does blogging interfere with your writing goals? |
| 8:59 pm | rillajaggia: | @KayCassidy Which one? #kidlitchat |
| 9:00 pm | storyconnection: | @lkblackburne I agree & mktg is abt getting ur brand out there. That means consistency. If blogging, post REGULARLY. #kidlitchat |
| 9:00 pm | mgbuehrlen: | @laq997 I have separate accounts for personal and writing. #kidlitchat |

| 9:00 pm | KindrilyKaren: | Side note: Considering how SWAMPED u agents and editors are these days , thank you for chatting with us at #kidlitchat |
| 9:00 pm | marybrebner: | @katie_bowden I usually remember to update on Sun, Wed and Fri/Sat. Not too consistent–I think I need to make a schedule! You? #kidlitchat |
| 9:00 pm | joycelansky: | @storyconnection Thanks. I’ll check that one out. #kidlitchat |
| 9:00 pm | gregpincus: | And weatherwise, out here in LA, I just saw a cloud! No. Wait. Scratch that. My bad #kidlitchat |
| 9:00 pm | Becky_Levine: | @DDHearn You’ve been reading Percy Jackson. #kidlitchat |
| 9:00 pm | dlschubert: | @elanaroth But what’s inappropriate is a matter of opinion. Writers often blog about the journey incl partial/fulls, etc. #kidlitchat |
| 9:00 pm | Evilgenius333: | @rillajaggia #kidlitchat and it does it without giving them anything about the main storyline of book 1. |
| 9:00 pm | bonnieadamson: | @sarahshum Local SCBWI boards fielding questions today re response time–seems to be lengthening. #kidlitchat |
| 9:00 pm | f_rancesca: | RT @JennBailey: Trying to take something off the internet is like trying to take pee out of a swimming pool. #kidlitchat> oh so sad & true |
| 9:00 pm | SarahDarerLitt: | @laq997 I have diff Twitter a/cs for writing and politics (I write a political column) wanted to keep identities separate. #kidlitchat |
| 9:00 pm | JennBailey: | @laq997 I would ask can you keep up with separate twitter accounts? What is your goal? Gotta know what your aiming at to hit it #kidlitchat |
| 9:00 pm | ktubb: | RT @JoanneFrench: #kidlitchat does blogging interfere with your writing goals? Blogging often helps me clarify them. #kidlitchat |
| 9:00 pm | mikalroy: | There is nothing sadder than an author’s old blog. If you’re not going to blog, take it down. Else it’s just a graveyard. #kidlitchat |
| 9:01 pm | elanaroth: | Listen to @mikalroy. Google is my best friend. I will research you. Be warned. #kidlitchat |
| 9:01 pm | KayCassidy: | @rillajaggia The one with Bonnie’s comment about blog reading. Somehow was attributed to me.  #kidlitchat |
| 9:01 pm | Becky_Levine: | @aecverost Yes, I’ve been doing that. And he’s great–just getting started. #kidlitchat |
| 9:01 pm | marybrebner: | @KayCassidy See, I like how you have specific topics for the days you post, too. I’ve been thinking of doing the same… #kidlitchat |
| 9:01 pm | laq997: | @Evilgenius333 #kidlitchat no frogs frm this storm to the west of you. but we still have a bunch from last storm-where should i send them? |
| 9:01 pm | rillajaggia: | Woudn’t mind some lightning RT @gregpincus: And weatherwise, out here in LA, I just saw a cloud! No. Wait. Scratch that. My bad #kidlitchat |
| 9:01 pm | bonnieadamson: | RT @Becky_Levine: @DDHearn Youve been reading Percy Jackson.–Have you seen trailer? #kidlitchat |
| 9:01 pm | mikalroy: | @f_rancesca But it doesn’t have to be a thorough cleaning. The determined will always find it. But it doesn’t have to be easy. #kidlitchat |
| 9:01 pm | mgbuehrlen: | RT @mikalroy: nothing sadder than an authors old blog. If youre not going to blog, take it down. Else its just a graveyard. #kidlitchat |
| 9:01 pm | JennBailey: | Did a murder mystery on Twitter for 6 wks with 8 other writers. Tweet Mystery of Death. Great fun but too hard for the audience #kidlitchat |
| 9:02 pm | storyconnection: | @kdueykduey If you have a fanbase, using FB fanpage, u can post upcoming bk signings, blog & website updates, testimonials, pics #kidlitchat |
| 9:02 pm | DanyelleLeafty: | @JoanneFrench It doesn’t if you don’t let it. The key’s in balancing the two–as well as all the other demands in life. #kidlitchat |
| 9:02 pm | kdueykduey: | I must go write chapters, but thanks to all…#kidlitchat |
| 9:02 pm | bonnieadamson: | RT @mikalroy: There is nothing sadder than an authors old blog. If youre not going to blog, take it down. Just a graveyard. #kidlitchat |
| 9:02 pm | f_rancesca: | RT @mikalroy …nothing sadder than an author’s old blog. If you’re not going to blog, take it down. Else it’s just a graveyard. #kidlitchat |
| 9:02 pm | storyconnection: | RT @mikalroy: Nothing sadder than an authors old blog. If youre not going to blog, take it down. Else its just a graveyard. #kidlitchat |
| 9:02 pm | DDHearn: | RT @JoanneFrench: #kidlitchat does blogging interfere with your writing goals? I know it has taken time away from my writing. #kidlitchat |
| 9:02 pm | Becky_Levine: | RT @mikalroy: Nothing sadder than an authors old blog. If youre not going to blog, take it down. Else its just a graveyard. #kidlitchat |
| 9:02 pm | Evilgenius333: | @dlschubert @elanaroth #kidlitchat You can write about full/partials, but other agents read your blog. Do you want them knowing about reject |
| 9:02 pm | mikalroy: | Ashamed to see I dropped two apostrophes there. #kidlitchat |
| 9:02 pm | elanaroth: | @dlschubert Yes, but when I can figure out who has the book besides me, that’s oversharing and totally unprofessional. #kidlitchat |
| 9:02 pm | rillajaggia: | @KayCassidy Sorry!. I think I know what happened. the whole column moved down as I was clicking on repeat. apologies! #kidlitchat |
| 9:02 pm | JennBailey: | We are reevaluating and will try again. Remember people love to help as long as it doesn’t take too much time or cost them money #kidlitchat |
| 9:02 pm | sarahshum: | True dat. RT @mikalroy There is nothing sadder than an author’s old blog. Don’t bother with anything if not going to do it WELL #kidlitchat |
| 9:02 pm | DanyelleLeafty: | @JennBailey It sounds like a lot of fun. #kidlitchat |
| 9:03 pm | DDHearn: | @Becky_Levine Yep. I’m on Curse of the Titan right now. Fun stuff. #kidlitchat |
| 9:03 pm | katie_bowden: | @marybrebner I’m about the same – same days, same struggle for consistency  #kidlitchat |
| 9:03 pm | joycelansky: | @Evilgenius333 That’s why I was late to kidchat. Couldn’t get home with Memphis storm. Lot of power out & flooded streets. #kidlitchat |
| 9:03 pm | mgbuehrlen: | A friend of mine, published with Scholastic, has a fb fan page. It’s booming. #kidlitchat |
| 9:03 pm | gregpincus: | We’re clearly not a one hour chat anymore. Let’s continue! And HUGE thanks to agents, editors, publicists, and, well, EVERYONE #kidlitchat |
| 9:03 pm | dosankodebbie: | @marybrebner @KayCassidy I like how you have specific topics 4 the days you post I’ve been thinking of doing the same #kidlitchat Like this! |
| 9:03 pm | Becky_Levine: | @bonnieadamson Trailer not as exciting as I hoped. Book’s better so far! #kidlitchat |
| 9:03 pm | KayCassidy: | @marybrebner It helps me a lot. 3 days a week content is set. The other 2 days are fun days where I can indulge random musings. #kidlitchat |
| 9:03 pm | leewind: | @SarahDarerLitt keeping IDs separate online seems…unlikely. I’ve got perf. artists, teens, preschool moms, #kidlitchat world, etc… |
| 9:03 pm | maggiedana: | This is your mother. Pick ‘em up. At once. RT @mikalroy: Ashamed to see I dropped two apostrophes there. #kidlitchat |
| 9:03 pm | KrisYankee: | Must get my kids to bed. This was awesome! Tweet you next Tuesday. #kidlitchat |
| 9:03 pm | DDHearn: | Or is it the Titan’s Curse? Oops. Anyway, it’s the third Percy Jackson book. Great concept, updating the Greek myths. #kidlitchat |
| 9:03 pm | Evilgenius333: | @dlschubert @elanaroth #kidlitchat and if you do write about it, you certainly don’t need to include who requested or rejected. Poor form. |
| 9:04 pm | dlschubert: | @elanaroth Got it. So generalizations are okay, but not specifics? #kidlitchat |
| 9:04 pm | mikalroy: | Okay, gang, this has been fun and a tad overwhelming. But I’ll be back next week! Have a good night! #kidlitchat |
| 9:04 pm | KayCassidy: | @rillajaggia LOL. No worries. Technology is nothing if not quirky. #kidlitchat |
| 9:04 pm | katie_bowden: | I’m out. Thanks once again guys! #kidlitchat |
| 9:04 pm | f_rancesca: | @gregpincus THANK YOU! First chat and while completely overwhelmed, also sort of giddy… #kidlitchat |
| 9:04 pm | rillajaggia: | Cheating. Gives you more characters to play with. RT @mikalroy: Ashamed to see I dropped two apostrophes there. #kidlitchat |
| 9:04 pm | Becky_Levine: | @DDHearn Son’s quote “Rick Riordan is a genius.” I agree. #kidlitchat |
| 9:04 pm | bonnieadamson: | @Becky_Levine Percy was spot on, though, don’t you think? #kidlitchat |
| 9:05 pm | ktubb: | Re: blogs – can you resell to, say, magazines what you post there? Surely you can, but just checkin’. #kidlitchat |
| 9:05 pm | quirkywriter: | RT @quirkywriter: @mikalroy I bought @cynthia ‘s book based on her blog and mission. #kidlitchat |
| 9:05 pm | Evilgenius333: | @laq997 #kidlitchat I have 3 accounts. You’re looking at 1st. Then I have one for each character. Will be starting something new soon. |
| 9:05 pm | bonnieadamson: | @mikalroy Thanks–see you next time! #kidlitchat |
| 9:05 pm | dosankodebbie: | LOL!! RT @maggiedana This is your mother. Pick ‘em up. At once. RT @mikalroy: Ashamed to see I dropped two apostrophes there. #kidlitchat |
| 9:05 pm | elanaroth: | @dlschubert I might just be of the school of thought that says publicly tracking your query process isn’t wise. #kidlitchat |
| 9:05 pm | storyconnection: | @Becky_Levine Since only members can participate, good way to keep in touch w each other, share links, post info, post events #kidlitchat |
| 9:05 pm | pvlundqvist: | @gregpincus Thanks Greg! Lively and informative as usual. Night all. #kidlitchat |
| 9:05 pm | sarahshum: | Ugh, response time, my nemesis. So much guilt. Too often the pile loses to the immediate tasks of the day. Have to do better #kidlitchat |
| 9:05 pm | amy7a: | Wow. This was wonderful. Thanks for my first kidlitchat. #kidlitchat |
| 9:05 pm | rillajaggia: | OMG! I didn’t even notice. Great company here! RT @gregpincus: Were clearly not a one hour chat anymore. #kidlitchat |
| 9:05 pm | leewind: | Off to work on re-write! Thanks all for the #kidlitchat Namaste, Lee |
| 9:05 pm | editorgurl: | I mostly read blogs of authors I’m working with, it’s a nice way to keep in touch for those long stretches between revisions. #kidlitchat |
| 9:06 pm | elanaroth: | @dlschubert Publishing is a small world and we all know each other. Just be aware of that. #kidlitchat |
| 9:06 pm | SarahDarerLitt: | @leewind I know, but at least my tirades about health care reform on my political twitter feed and I try to keep this writing #kidlitchat |
| 9:06 pm | HilaryWagner1: | #kidlitchat That was exhausting! It moves so fast! |
| 9:06 pm | jimhill: | open question: are paid mss evals at conferences a good idea for new writers? #kidlitchat |

| 9:06 pm | bonnieadamson: | @sarahshum I think everyone’s having the same problem these days. #kidlitchat |
| 9:06 pm | joycelansky: | @mikalroy With a full time day job, I’m lucky to blog once a month. Would that work against me? #kidlitchat |
| 9:06 pm | Evilgenius333: | @gregpincus #kidlitchat Youre missing one hell of a party over here, buddy, w/ your lonely little cloud. |
| 9:06 pm | EngridE1: | @sarahshum Sorry, had to be away for 20 mins, Thanks for the reply, that’s good to know, for me anyway. #kidlitchat |

| 9:08 pm | marybrebner: | Thanks for a great time, tweeps! See you next time. #kidlitchat |
| 9:08 pm | KrisYankee: | Last question, is it beneficial to create character blogs/tweets b4 the ms is picked up? #kidlitchat |
| 9:08 pm | MyraMcEntire: | Blog ideas seem to come in bursts. You can always write when they do and schedule posts for later. #kidlitchat |
| 9:08 pm | bonnieadamson: | @jimhill I think so–how did yours go? #kidlitchat |
| 9:08 pm | joycelansky: | @Becky_Levine I love Greek Mythology, so Percy Jackson is like candy. #kidlitchat |
| 9:08 pm | editorgurl: | @elanaroth Yes, just came by and am completely overwhelmed by the speed of this thing! #kidlitchat |

| 9:09 pm | kdueykduey: | @storyconnection I just don’t like the hardsell/spamminess of most the FB fan page invites, I guess….#kidlitchat |
| 9:09 pm | jimhill: | It seems like the quickest (only?) path to editorial access. Of course you have to have a good mss. #kidlitchat |

| 9:10 pm | storyconnection: | Does this chat ever have a discussion topic? It’s so hard following all the threads… #kidlitchat |
| 9:10 pm | mitaliperkins: | @HilaryWagner1 @mikalroy “interested” is the operative adjective before an editor or agent who scours, right? #kidlitchat |

| 9:11 pm | DanyelleLeafty: | @DDHearn It’s a lot of fun, and it helps me get under my characters’ skin better than I would otherwise. #kidlitchat |
| 9:11 pm | Evilgenius333: | @laq997 #kidlitchat Get on it when you know your character well enough to answer as him/her/it. You need to stay in character at all times |

| 9:11 pm | bonnieadamson: | @gregpincus How do you get to someone’s FB fan page–can you search for it? #kidlitchat |

| 9:16 pm | MyraMcEntire: | Blogs keep me going when the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak! Whispers of encouragement from others who “get” writing. #kidlitchat |

| 9:17 pm | peg366: | @MyraMcEntire I agree.#kidlitchat |
| 9:18 pm | AudryT: | @elanaroth Do agents consider all the possibilities when they consider an MS (such as movie-filmability, video games, etc.)? #kidlitchat |

| 9:20 pm | justkeepreading: | Some day I’ll get to particapate in the chat for #kidlitchat |
| 9:20 pm | elanaroth: | @dlschubert I would say I mostly only read up if I’ve requested material. Then I want a full picture of you as a writer. #kidlitchat |
| 9:20 pm | EngridE1: | @f_rancesca You’ll get the hang of it. Read the transcript when published. I use TweetChat & control the speed of posts. #kidlitchat |
| 9:21 pm | SherriePetersen: | @Evilgenius333 @JennBailey @elanaroth #kidlitchat I’m jealous of your weather. California just has wind. |
| 9:21 pm | jimhill: | @elanaroth should an author include ideas on different markets for a property when approaching you? #kidlitchat |

| 9:21 pm | bonnieadamson: | @justkeepreading Did you have a problem logging on? #kidlitchat |
| 9:21 pm | jlpowers: | I’m sorry I missed the discussion at #kidlitchat, too. I forgot about it. But I’ll be here next week. |
| 9:22 pm | laq997: | @elanaroth i hide under the pillow when i hear thunder. i do have to fight the dog for the spot. kidlitchat #kidlitchat |
| 9:22 pm | dlschubert: | @elanaroth Do you check if you’ve requested a partial, or only for a full? #kidlitchat |
| 9:22 pm | elanaroth: | @jimhill If it REALLY warrants it. But mostly I like to the let the property speak for itself. #kidlitchat |
| 9:22 pm | kathleenfoucart: | Ack, made a phone call & missed half the chat. I’ll check out the transcript tomorrow! Good conversation this week #kidlitchat |

| 9:22 pm | BriannaSayres: | @joycelansky Thanks for the advice about TweetChat. I will try it out for next week’s #kidlitchat (And thanks to all for such a great chat.) |
| 9:23 pm | MyraMcEntire: | @mgbuehrlen Yes. It’s so amazing to be able to connect. I mean, Lewis and Tolkien had the Inklings back then – today – TWITTER! #kidlitchat |
| 9:23 pm | ZimblerMiller: | @jennifertribe For your tweetchat list do you have #kidlitchat on Tuesdays at 6 pm Pacific? It’s not on the list whose link you sent me. |
| 9:23 pm | rillajaggia: | Great chat, thanks all, especially @gregpincus &@bonnieadamson. Back to Kite Tales now, my strings are being tugged. Goodnight! #kidlitchat |
| 9:23 pm | EngridE1: | @EgmontUSA I slow down the speed on TweetChat, but the typing has been really slow, I used it & Tweetdeck #kidlitchat |
| 9:23 pm | elanaroth: | @dlschubert Well, I only request fulls…I don’t waste time with partials much unless it’s from a conference and I’m unsure. #kidlitchat |
| 9:23 pm | literaticat: | #kidlitchat come visit – http://www.verlakay.com/chat.html |
| 9:23 pm | EgmontUSA: | Night all. Thanks for the great chat. #kidlitchat |
| 9:23 pm | EngridE1: | @bonnieadamson I did the same thing. Are we stressing TweetChat out? Awwww #kidlitchat |
| 9:24 pm | dlschubert: | This is the first time I’ve participated. Loving it! How do I get a transcript? #kidlitchat |
| 9:24 pm | mgbuehrlen: | @MyraMcEntire Now THAT made me smile. How often I wish I lived in their author circle! #kidlitchat |
| 9:25 pm | dlschubert: | @elanaroth Got it. Thanks again for all your help. Much appreciated! #kidlitchat |
| 9:25 pm | bonnieadamson: | @dlschubert Follow @gregpincus Greg will tweet when transcript is up on his blog–prob. any moment now. #kidlitchat |
| 9:25 pm | MyraMcEntire: | @elanaroth If an agent requested a partial and you received representation elsewhere, should you let the (partial) agent know? #kidlitchat |
| 9:25 pm | jlpowers: | @elanaroth Curious, too. My interests are all over the place. Do u think blogs have to be centered on y.a. stuff? #kidlitchat |
| 9:25 pm | AnnaZiska: | @EngridE1 Thank you, and I am following you as well. #kidlitchat |
| 9:25 pm | elanaroth: | @dlschubert No problem! #kidlitchat |
| 9:25 pm | bonnieadamson: | @EngridE1 LOL–seems so! #kidlitchat |
| 9:25 pm | EKokie: | Damn. I missed #kidlitchat … off to read the transcript. |

| 9:25 pm | jamieharrington: | RT @literaticat: #kidlitchat come visit – http://www.verlakay.com/chat.html |
| 9:25 pm | CREvers: | @elanaroth What are things that would make you “unsure” about a MS from a conference? #Kidlitchat |
| 9:26 pm | MyraMcEntire: | @mgbuehrlen Or Byron, Shelley and Keats – or the Lost Generation – but without the substance abuse. #kidlitchat |
| 9:26 pm | Charong: | RT @crissachappell: #kidlitchat important for YA authors to explore their IP options and look at more than just a book http://tl.gd/deat |
| 9:26 pm | AudryT: | There’s #amwriting #iamwriting #writingparty and probably more regular hashtag chats. #kidlitchat |
| 9:27 pm | gregpincus: | @dlschubert I post the transcripts every week at http://bit.ly/10ndtk #kidlitchat Some of today’s is up. The rest later -upside down or not! |
| 9:27 pm | elanaroth: | @CREvers My secret? Sometimes I just say “send a partial” since it’s easier than saying “no” to someone’s face. #kidlitchat |
| 9:27 pm | JennBailey: | Night all. Tweet you next Tuesday. #kidlitchat |
| 9:27 pm | EngridE1: | @EKokie LOL You missed the fun of the chat, but you’ll be able to read everything we missed! #kidlitchat |

| 9:29 pm | elanaroth: | @MyraMcEntire Absolutely let the person with the partial know! #kidlitchat |
| 9:29 pm | PaulWesman: | @EngridE1 #amwriting #kidlitchat Bummed I missed blog disc. (was orig my question to Bonnie and Greg two weeks ago!) What’s topic now? |
| 9:30 pm | bonnieadamson: | @PaulWesman That was the only topic, Paul–was a good one. Be sure to check out the transcript! #kidlitchat |
| 9:30 pm | KrisYankee: | @BonnieAdamson @gregpincus just sent email to other writers in my agency about #kidlitchat. Maybe they’ll b there next Tuesday. |
| 9:30 pm | MyraMcEntire: | @elanaroth I’ve read so many conflicting things about partials. Thank you! #kidlitchat |
| 9:31 pm | mgbuehrlen: | Okay, off topic, but my editor says I can use “hung” as past tense of the execution version. What do you think? Hanged or hung? #kidlitchat |
| 9:31 pm | bonnieadamson: | @KrisYankee Great–the more the merrier! #kidlitchat |
| 9:31 pm | Casey_McCormick: | Great #kidlitchat. Second time following along, first time participating. Thanks all! |

| 9:31 pm | EngridE1: | @PaulWesman Topics tonight centered on “Do you post your original work online?” – Are Fan Pages on FBk a good thing? – continued #kidlitchat |
| 9:32 pm | bonnieadamson: | @mgbuehrlen Always heard hanged for people, hung for objects–is that changing? #kidlitchat |
| 9:32 pm | EngridE1: | @PaulWesman A lot of input to personal questions from Editors, Agents, etc. #kidlitchat |
| 9:33 pm | mgbuehrlen: | @bonnieadamson Apparently dictionaries are including that “hung” is now acceptable. #kidlitchat |
| 9:33 pm | MyraMcEntire: | @elanaroth Off to email now! #kidlitchat |
| 9:33 pm | BJMuntain: | RT @literaticat I check people’s blogs/websites before I take them as clients – just to make sure they aren’t totally nutbars… #kidlitchat |
| 9:34 pm | EngridE1: | RT @gregpincus: For a biz side chat, there is also #platformchat on Friday (hosted by @thewritermama and @merylkevans) <- Exclnt #kidlitchat |
| 9:34 pm | BJMuntain: | RT @elanaroth Ditto @literaticat. Blogs and websites are a great indication of your personality and savvy. And professionalism. #kidlitchat |
| 9:35 pm | bonnieadamson: | @mgbuehrlen Huh. Interesting. Still think hanged sounds better. #kidlitchat |
| 9:35 pm | BJMuntain: | RT @elanaroth I’ve seen rejection letters I’ve written show up on blogs. Don’t do that. #kidlitchat |
| 9:35 pm | mgbuehrlen: | @bonnieadamson Me too. #kidlitchat |
