This is a very interesting article about young adult readers.  Two things leapt out at me:

--Only 6% of survey respondents preferred e-books.  79% said paperbacks, 74% said hardcovers (obviously, they could choose more than one format).

Told ya so.

This has been a very packed week.  I've been doing a fiction line edit for a client, and a nonfiction edit for another client, and pushing to get both done by this weekend, so I can start NaNo.  I'll wrap them both up on Saturday.  I also expect to be done with the draft of last year's NaNo book, which kept getting shoved aside for other projects, and the final polishing of an older book, which I will then send on to my agent.  That will clear the field!

And guess what my NaNo book is gonna be?  A YA!  Still romantic adventure, and paranormal to boot, but this is a big departure for me.  I didn't think like a teen when I was one, so I never felt I could do this genre.  But I've been reading a lot of it, and I've always felt it was important, and wanted to be involved with it.  So we'll see if I can.  NaNo is awesome for doing this kind of thing--stepping outside your comfort zone, trying something new.

I keep forgetting that Supernatural is new tonight.  My mind is preoccupied with trick-or-treating.  Yes, it's tonight.  Yes, I know Halloween isn't until Saturday.  Tell Pennsylvania.  They've missed that memo for over two decades. *sigh*

Okay, I have to get back to work.  Must input the edits for both projects, work on the draft novel, order RAM for my computer, update the checkbook, order an oil delivery, and start a read-through I kind of promised at the beginning of the week.  I hope to get that done while I wait for trick-or-treaters.  The rest I need to do before 2:34, when Number Two gets home.

Yeah, that'll happen.
