Things With Happy Endings/Writing Tips

2:33 PM PDT, July 22, 2008

Thanks to everybody who came to my online chat! You asked such great questions, I was blown away.

And if you missed the chat, never fear…the transcript will be going up here (click on where it says CHAT TRANSCRIPTS at the top of the page) soon!

And you can always join me for another virtual live chat at Teen Second Life on Friday, August 8, at 4PM (EST). To find out more details, visit here. I’ll be appearing as an avatar designed by teens (even I haven’t seen what I look like yet)! So mark your calendar….

Here are some questions I got from the chat that I didn’t get a chance to answer, because there were soooo many people in the room, and I couldn’t get to everybody in the time we had:

Meg, I really really really want to be a writer when I grow up. I’m always writing stories, but I can never seem to finish them. What do you think this means?

Not finishing your story could mean lots of things. Maybe you’re better off being a songwriter or a SCUBA instructor…or maybe it just means that you haven’t found the right story. Usually when you find the right story, you love it so much, you want to finish it (well, sort of. 99% of writing is keeping your butt stuck in the chair while the rest of your friends are out having fun. Try to think of how good you’ll feel when you get paid for it write the words THE END. That always helps me).

My advice would be either to spend more time with your butt in the chair, switch to a new story that means more to you, or give up and become a professional figure skater. Hey, it worked for the girl in the movie Ice Princess (based on a story idea by Meg Cabot). Anyone can do it!

Meg, how do I get an agent?

Unless you are born into the literati world and know someone who knows someone, the only way to get an agent is via the query letter. Go here and read how I got my agent (I think it’s the second question down) using a guide. This is the guide I used (mine was the 1997 edition):

You should never pay an agent (until you’ve started making an income from writing. Then he or she takes 15% of your advances/royalties).

BTW, the editor who originally signed my Princess Diaries books for my UK publisher, Sarah Davies, is an agent now at The Greenhouse. She only reps YA and children’s lit. She’s tough but good!

Meg, did you know what was going to h
