I've started writing a new story. It's falling out of me like those kids' guts in the climactic scene of Summer School. Hopefully, I'm using much better similes in my manuscript. If not, I'm in trouble.
I'm breaking away from realistic (boy) middle grade for awhile and writing something out of my comfort zone. The story is still middle grade, but it's a lot bigger and more adventurous than BIRD NERD or CROSSING CHALK. It also has something to do with time, but it's not time travel.
I'm gearing up for SCBWI-LA. It's going to be righteous. John Green, Laurie Halse Anderson, Norton Juster, Bruce Coville, Libba Bray, Gary Paulsen. My head is going to explode just thinking about it. After gathering my brain particles from the air and stuffing them back into my skull, I'll be posting my thoughts on the conference. Same bat time. Same bat channel.
Until then, enjoy an eleven year-old's sense of humor. Adventure Time is one of my students' favorite shows. I'm warning you, it makes no sense, but it's a riot.
That was all kinds of hilarious. But yeah, I hope your new MS makes more sense than Adventure Time. :) Good luck, I'm sure your mystery book will be brilliant.
ReplyDeleteHi Mr. Wymer! It's Porschia (yes, I still read your blog)
ReplyDeleteHow's your summer been? Love the new book idea! Sounds super cool! I can't believe you put a clip of adventure time on your blog!!! I'm so excited!(especially since it's the one with the fries)I wonder what two certain creative writing students of yours would say...
P.S. Does Blondie like the show?
EHE: Adventure Time is unique. Brilliant? We'll see.
ReplyDeletePorschia: Thanks for reading and stopping by. Blondie doesn't watch the show, she wouldn't understand it. But does anyone? How was the Stanford writing program? Have you gone yet? Can't wait to hear about it. Email me at my school email and tell me all about it.
TRACY: That is a brilliant song. I can hardly wait until Kelly sees it. I like your other books but am excited to see you step out of that comfort zone!
ReplyDeleteAnita: It is brilliant, indeed. Stepping out of the comfort zone makes me squirm. I like it.
ReplyDeleteWow, I wish I could go to the SCBWI-LA conference. But alas, I too am a teacher and live on the east coast. Which means my butt stays here.
ReplyDeleteMichael: As I've offered PMM in the past, you can always hole up at my house. Tuition and flight are still quite a bit. I recommend getting to SCBWI-NY during the winter in NYC. That's a lot closer to you.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on leaving the comfort zone!
ReplyDeleteRobert: Painless thus far.
