Notes
Two from Book View Cafe
More great stuff on Book View Cafe: a long piece by Ursula K. Le Guin about books and ebooks, and a continuing series by Stephen Harper Piziks on current life in high school, this time with advice for YA writers about texting:
“Even if you, a card-carrying old fart, personally hate texting and willfully remain ignorant of how it works, you can’t simply ignore it when you’re writing about modern teenagers. It won’t fly.”
