Some Screaming Fangirl: A little update on SSF!

Well you know you've failed at blogging when you haven't even looked at Blogspot in three months, let alone post in six!

As some of you remember, I posted a mixture of Writing YA (Young Adult) tips and pop culture nonsense back in the ol' days. Since then I got a huge bout of "senioritis" and sort of gave up.

But never fear! For not only has SOME SCREAMING FANGIRL graduated high school, been accepted to the college of her dreams, and actually caught on sleep, but she has a PHONE now! Mobile blogging is the way of the future.

(Sarcastic audience member: Poor spellcheck is also the future then).

So my writer and pop culture friends, how have you been? What lovely life accomplishments have you, well, accomplished?

And more importantly...what new music are you listening to? Because I need some recommendations. Oh yes.

Fun Facts about SSF!

SSF’s favorite band is Australian, her favorite singer is Canadian, and favorite childhood band was British (no, not Beatles, surprisingly). Yet SSF is supposedly just Arizonian (or so the birth certificate says).

SSF once received a tweet from screenwriter Diablo Cody (Juno, Jennifer’s Body, Young Adult). On 9/20/10 to be exact. It. Was. AWESOME.

SSF has only read the first two chapters of 50 Shades of Grey. She says it’s much like being a kid allowed to watch the first two scenes of a R-rated movie - then being told to go to bed right as the gore/naughty stuff begins.

SSF does have a YA/urban fantasy series WIP, which she’s been writing since seventh grade. She can’t share all the juicy details, but the plot involves dream world monsters, mental hospitals, and lots of indie music.

SSF does hope to be an entertainment journalist one day. Maybe all this blogging and posting pictures of LOLcatz will lead to great things one day. Until then, let’s have fun, shall we?

TO COMPLETE AND UTTER STRANGERS

Tune into Some Screaming Fangirl (SSF) for blogs that look at the YA (young adult/teen) side of the book industry, with a fresh, teen perspective. Also expect tons of pop culture reviews and discussions (you know, like movies, music, TV, videogames, other books). Sometimes SSF even does both! Entertainment AND writing tips! Like a playlist for writing fight scenes or what TV show finales can teach us or the different types of best friends you see in movies.

Is there a YA topic you want to talk about? Maybe a slice of pop culture you feel like fangirling/boying out about? Leave a comment or let me know at somescreamingfangirl@gmail.com. Or just hit that follow button. I like friends.
