We readergirlz girlz tore up the keyboards last night talking everything from writerly schedules (thank you, Little Willow, for offering to make me breakfast); TV shows ("So You Think You Can Dance" rocks supreme); the joint appearance by Erin McIntosh and Melissa Walker in the newest six-word memoir book (oh, baby); certain showcase dance number videos that will never be aired (thank you, Mercy, for keeping our secret our secret); the emergence of Priya as a readergirlz street girl; favorite bands (yes, mine is still and will always be Bruce Springsteen); landscape as character (thank you, Nicole, for the question); favorite editors, past and present; how I stink at the samba (just ask Jean Paulovich); whether I will every write fantasy (thank you, Maya and Hipwriter Mama for your faith in my abilities); whether I've watched "Glee" (I'm so sorry, Lorie Anne); and why Flow: The Life and Times of Philadelphia's Schuylkill River was perhaps the most challenging and most rewarding book that I've yet published, though 2010 and beyond is filled with books and potential books that were probably even harder. All along Dia Calhoun and Holly Cupala were tossing out not just literary questions but riotously funny—and unexpected—images.
Which is all to say that if you haven't participated in a readergirlz chat, you really ought to. They happen twice or month or so. They will keep you at the edge of your fingertips.

JacketFlap tags: readergirlz writing contest, Jennifer Petro-Roy, Lauren Miller, Erin McIntosh, Add a tag
Extraordinarily fine work was submitted for the inaugural readergirlz writing contest, which asked writers to yield a brief piece of a fully lived emotion. In the end, a single winner would not do. Please join me in congratulating the winners here, below, who are all receiving signed copies of Undercover. And please join us for the second of the four contests, newly posted here.
Jennifer Petro-Roy is a librarian/graduate student in Library Science with eventual aspirations to be a young adult librarian/young adult author; she is at work on a memoir about her battle with and full recovery from anorexia and exercise addition.
Erin McIntosh likes writing poetry on windows and tulip stems, standing on roofs during dust storms, and Arizona sunsets.My worth was in flesh, visible bones, rib cage mere piano keys to play.
Sweat and footfalls placated the fear. Body tense, I calculated my worth.
My mirage beckoned, grasped, screamed, pulling me deeper.
Can't stop, can't stretch, can't grow, can't be.
Just me. Am I enough?
Supplement my worth with nothing.
Prove I am through negatives and loss.
Fear. Relief. Fear. Always fear.
Until a step. A struggle. A Sisyphean slip.
Again. Stone in place, the view belongs to me.
and neither will love
redemption is erased, the idea
of forgiveness a myth
we don't touch
or look
or speak
there is an indescribable air
filled with everything we
never wanted.
Lauren Miller lives in Pennsylvania and would someday like to write for a magazine like Seventeen, Popstar, or J14; she hopes to publish a book or two.
after several attempts.
Slowly stripping one layer:
one by one.
I am fully exposed to you now.
Critique me if you like.
Hate me if you dare.
Love me, that'd be great.
No matter what you say,
it'll all just make me stronger.
You are welcome, and thank YOU.

I am full of smiles, reading this. :)
It sounds fun - I am always intimidated by large chats.
And you should watch Glee. It became more consistent towards the end of the season and had good character development despite the large cast. The storylines move extremely fast, but it works for the show. It's cheesy and silly, but it knows and revels in it. It's an afterschool special on crack with a wink. Not for everybody, but worth trying. (My grandparents like it! However, they could've lied to be nice to me.)
Liviania, you crack me up! Yay for chats of awesome at rgz, Beth. It was a blast to host you. You were marvey for certain.
What fun to have you, Beth! I'm so sorry I had to leave early. xo
Ah! I love this roundup. May I copy your style and post this sort of thing in the future? xoxo
Chatting with you is so much fun...you are a fascinating person to talk to, Beth. (Still hoping you will come to Seattle...?) :)
Thanks, Beth :) The chat last night was really fun.
Thanks Beth, for a fabulous chat, and for being a fabulous rgz AIR.
