NY Comic Con 2012<\/p><\/div>\n

Big crushes of people packed the Javits Center this weekend for NY Comic Con 2012.\u00a0 What did 100,000 people feel like?\u00a0 A lot of fun.\u00a0 Especially since many of the people were dressed in savage, colorful, and sometimes flesh-baring costumes.\u00a0 Our favorite?\u00a0 A little boy came as Bumblebee in a homemade, cardboard, yellow outfit and when he knelt down and curled up, he transformed into a car.\u00a0 Ingenious.<\/p>\n

Intrepid volunteers Katie, Rufka, Lainey, Mindy, Chelsea and S.T. join Caragh to act out Ch. 1 of Promised. Click to enlarge.<\/p><\/div>\n

I am deeply indebted to Katie, S.T., Rufka, Lainey, Chelsea, and Mindy, the volunteers who joined me on the Unbound Stage to act out the first chapter of Promised<\/em>.\u00a0 It was a dangerous and action-packed scene involving many invisible weapons, precarious heights and heart-rending drama, but my bold volunteers were unfazed.\u00a0 With zero preparation, they rose to the challenge to produce an awesome, super funny scene. \u00a0I only wish it had gone on longer.\u00a0 I only wish we were still there.<\/p>\n

\"\"Other highlights included meeting Cecil Castellucci in person after years of email correspondence, seeing fellow MacKids writer Tommy Greenwald with his trademark dry humor on a MG Lit panel, browsing through Artist Alley, meeting up with my agent Kirby Kim to chat, signing books at the table next to Veronica Taylor (the voice of Ash. I actually heard her say \u201cI choose you!\u201d), and hanging out with my fabulous family.<\/p>\n

Would I do it again? \u00a0In a heartbeat.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
