ljm:

I want to make sure I cover all necessary topics in the You Are Among Friends book (which will be published by the holidays, by the way! Start your letters to Santa now!). In writing the zine, I wrote directly to my memory of my twelve-year-old self. In the book, not only do I want to address a wider audience, but I also want to address a range of concerns wider than the ones I personally dealt with most.

Girls, ladies, women: What were you most concerned about as an adolescent? What made you deliriously happy? What did you worry about? What made you cry so much that your dad scolded you at the dinner table to “quit crying all the time?” (Oh. Just me, then?)

I’m asking that ideas be sent to me via my website—click the “Say Hi” link at the top.

I’d like this to reach as wide an audience of ladies as possible, so if you have it in your heart to give a girl a good old-fashioned reblog this morning, please do!
