You know they would do that too
Thing is, I totally knew it was from Rei before I even checked SF’s tags. That’s how good I am. Or how good Frizzy is. Either/or.

We are thrilled to introduce Marissa Meyer, long-time Wrimo and YA fiction writer, who joins us to talk about her debut novel, Cinder, which came out in January from Feiwel & Friends, an imprint of Macmillan.
Can you tell us a bit about Cinder?
Of course! Cinder is a retelling of the classic Cinderella story, but with a science-fiction twist. Our heroine, Cinder, is a sixteen-year-old cyborg, meaning she’s part-human and part-machine. In a world where cyborgs are considered second-class citizens, Cinder earns her keep in her stepmother’s household by working as a mechanic at the weekly market. Her reputation brings the handsome Prince Kai to her booth one day, and soon Cinder is caught in a political battle of wills between Earth and the Lunars—an evolved species of humans who live on the moon and have developed powers of mind-control and manipulation.
Cinder is the first of what will be a four-book series called The Lunar Chronicles, each of which is inspired by a different fairy tale. Book 2: Scarlet, based on Little Red Riding Hood, will be out in January.
What’s the connection between NaNoWriMo and Cinder?

The moment when my student doesn’t pay attention in class:
When they don’t do their homework:
The awkward moment when i’m walking into the classroom and they are like:
Their faces when i’m correcting the tests:
When a student thinks she/he is the best and confronts me:
When i took their ipods, cellphones out and they look me like.
Outside i’m like:
But inside:
Yup, this is exactly what my Tumblr would look like if I spent time reblogging….

I was wondering when I’d see the one for “writer.” Although, in my case, the “what society thinks I do” is what I think I do. The picture for “what my mom thinks I do” is 100% correct.The six perceptions of a writer.

This image has been making the rounds for a few days, and so far the only objection I’ve seen any writers make is, “I’m more of a Spider Solitaire person myself.”
