I'm back to my school library job and was shelving new books yesterday. I really do enjoy working there! Seeing the K thru 8th graders come into the library just warms my heart. (unless of course, they're picking their nose right before they hand me a book! ; )2. Stephenie Meyer: Author of the Twilight Saga is on the cover of the new Enslow catalog. They have a new e-catalog that's really cool, too! www.enslow.com
3. My revision for MERCY LILY is coming along and I plan to get it to my agent by Tuesday. The original version is still out with 4 editors, but we'll send the revision to 2 other editors who asked for it and then start sending it out to more. Will this be the deal maker? God I hope so. I heard there's a movie coming out about Jack Kevorkian, starring Al Pacino....and, it's not like Jack makes a cameo in Mercy Lily or anything, but the subject of assisted suicide is so relevant, I think my YA would be a must-read (if I do say so myself. Ha.).
4. I'm still creating the story "bible" for my humorous MG novel, but there's just so many hours in a day that I can see straight.
5. I have 3 nonfiction ideas I'm eager to flesh out, but again...(see #4)
Have a great weekend!

What's a story "bible," btw?
A story "bible" or "series bible" is basically something I can refer to to keep me on track with details. Character profiles, setting details, tidbits of info crucial to the story and why, etc.
(for instance, I have a dog in this latest book and even though it sounds like a no-brainer, I kept forgetting if it was male or female! LOL)
Series Bibles are used for television and film, and just helps to keep plots tidy.
Woah. You rock, Lisa Albert.
BTW, I emailed the powers that be yesterday about bringing you in for a visit. I let them know about the "Lisa Albert Name Dropper Pricing" posiiblity and that they'd save $$ cuz you'd stay here.
Chicken fingers crossed!!
I DVR these days, too. :-)
I grew up with you for some of our childhood. My name is Suzy Campbell (fka Suzy Schulein). Perhaps you remember? Pot pies and Sesame Street at lunchtime after Kindergarten at my house? Maybe my Mom let you come over for some of those lunches. I remember your mom. I was reading through your entries and when you began to mention your mother, I eagerly kept reading, hoping you'd say Syvia and be the Lisa I thought you were! I remembered your mom's name was Sylvia. I'm so sorry you lost her. I remember some of your sibs: Judy, Nick, Gina...multiple others but my memory is lacking! Anyway, I wanted to say a heartfelt "hello" and wish you the best in life. It sounds like you are experiencing a great deal of it. My folks moved back to Milwaukee about 4 years ago (from CA). Big change for them. Well, it would be lovely to hear from you anytime "old friend." Much happiness and all my best! Suzy
