A VERY BLOGGY BLOG ENTRY
Many of you have noticed that I have not posted a blog entry since early January. “Where are you?” you have asked. “What are you doing? DID THEY FINALLY GET YOU?”
Well, for ONE thing, I’ve been fixing up this site! See, parts of the site were wobbly and hard to update. So this entire blog–this entire site, in fact–was moved over to Wordpress. It was recreated PIECE BY PIECE by Rexroth Implausible of Unfeasible-Implausible Enterprises. Every single page has been updated and will continue to be so! It’s a LIVE WIRE! What new things can you find here? Well, how about a bunch of new appearances on the bulletins page! An updated bio page! An updated FAQ with an exciting new MAILING ADDRESS where you can SEND THINGS!
I know. It is a lot to take in.
In the meantime, some of you have had questions. Now I shall ANSWER a few.
CommentorX asks: If you boss told you you had to write about a girl falling in love with a monster, but not a vampire, werewolf, or zombie, then what?
I guess my first question would be, WHO’S YOUR BOSS? Because that is a totally weird thing to ask, especially if you are, like, a surgeon. Are you a surgeon?
Unless that was a hypothetical question and you were asking me, in which case I would say bigfoot.
accio_awesome asks: Do you need an intern for the summer?
In need help, generally, what with the writing and internet stuff and all these hamsters I take care of. But I honestly cannot even imagine what my intern program would be like.
Lola asks: Can I send you my copies of your books to the mailing address you have on your site so that you can sign them? (I will provide an extra SASE, plus $ for shipping)
If you send a book with an envelope that has all the correct postage on it so I can sign it and pop it back in the mail, then sure! Just make sure it’s correct, so your book doesn’t get lost!
If you leave MORE questions below, I will ENDEAVOR TO ANSWER THEM. In any case, BLOG SERVICE HAS RESUMED!

What do I do when my internet won’t load Youtube videos, or social networking sites?

Oh no Maureen! I know this isn’t a question but the FAQ link at the bottom of your bio page is a bad link. It goes to http://www.maureenjohnsonbooks.com/faq.html instead of http://www.maureenjohnsonbooks.com/faq/
Just thought you’d like to know!
March 11th, 2010 at 10:49 pm
Fixed! Thank you!

Can you explain your obsession with jars and things in, and having to relate to jars?
March 11th, 2010 at 10:55 pm
See the FAQ
March 11th, 2010 at 10:58 pm
Okay, didn’t see that. Thanks!
March 11th, 2010 at 11:07 pm
Dear Maureen, I used to think you knew everything. Then you called a gentle giant – the Bigfoot – a monster. You made a little girl AND a Sasquatch cry.
March 11th, 2010 at 11:09 pm
Do you ever tour?
March 11th, 2010 at 11:09 pm
So good to have you back. We’ve missed you so!
March 11th, 2010 at 11:09 pm
Hi there!
I just have a question. Do you think that you’ll ever write a book from male point of view??
March 11th, 2010 at 11:10 pm
I am referring to the actual, one and only Bigfoot.
March 11th, 2010 at 11:13 pm
It’s entirely possible.
March 11th, 2010 at 11:14 pm
Seriously? An MJ internship?! Where do I apply?!
March 11th, 2010 at 11:14 pm
It would be completely amazing if you developed an intern program. Seriously.
I would move to New York for the summer and sleep on a bench for three months if I could be your intern. And I am quite fond of being, you know, clean. So that is saying something.
(I’m sorry this isn’t a question, and upon re-reading this I notice it sounds a little creepy. I promise I am not related to Edward Cullen. I just find you AWESOME.)

What do you think about Girl Scout cookies?
March 11th, 2010 at 11:23 pm
Why did they make the children’s book festival during the school week? This seems counterproductive to me.
March 12th, 2010 at 12:50 am
The better question, over the intern one, would be do you need a personal assistant?! I’m in NYC and I need a job so I can stay
Otherwise, do you have an NYC job suggestion? Haha!
March 12th, 2010 at 12:59 am
im going to new york in a few weeks.
where should i go?
March 12th, 2010 at 1:18 am
On a scale of one to ten, how made of awesome are you?
March 12th, 2010 at 1:20 am
A couple years ago, you used to make really fun, really informal videos and post them on Youtube. Are you going to do that again? They were really fun to watch.
March 12th, 2010 at 3:01 am
1. If you had an internship program I would pee my pants then do something incredible like bake you a hundred pies/cakes (whichever you prefer) each with a word in it. These words, when put together, would create an extremely persuasive argument for why I would be the ideal intern for you!
2. How many cups of sugar does it take to get to the moon?
March 12th, 2010 at 3:20 am
MJ!! So happy to have you back! 140 characters (or less) at a time is too small a dose
will you ever come to melbourne, australia? i think you should, it is pretty awesome (although i suspect i am bias, and it cannot compare to NYC)
just a little side note – i ordered scarlett fever on amazon (and it stuffed up and was late etc.) but when it arrived, i screamed, tried to rip open the box, got angry because i couldn’t rip the box, got scissors, opened it, picked up book, held it to my chest, squealed and jumped around in circles. i was very excited and am obviously a nerd. but proud of it.
okay, that was random! sorry!

what does “in need help” mean?
March 12th, 2010 at 11:28 am
I feel that working for you, Maureen, would probablly be one of the most amazing expirences of an Interns life, like seriously. You’re most likely the awesomest person ever.
March 12th, 2010 at 3:52 pm
(Yes, I know this is a multi-part epic question. Please forgive me!)
As an aspiring writer and editor I’m always curious about the writer/editor relationship. What kind of relationship do you have with your editor? What things do you fight over the most? Was there anything in one of your books that your editor wanted to get rid of but you kept in?
March 12th, 2010 at 9:22 pm
I read Suite Scarlett recently, and it was the first book I’ve read that you wrote. Let me just say that it was one of the best books ever, and since scarlett fever came out and can’t wait to read it. And the Pretty Little Liars Series can’t even match up to your great style of writing and believe me, those are one of the most amazing novels out there.
Suite scarlett was different and i loved how she lives in a hotel, the connection between scarlett and spencer, the romance, the plot, the humor and wit, the prank, the actresses and everything in the book. Gosh your one of the most inspiring authors outt here 
By the way will there be another book after Scarlett Fever and wad there anything that you got rid out in suite scarlett which affected the plot?
March 13th, 2010 at 3:22 pm
where did you get the idea of the bermudez triangle from?
March 15th, 2010 at 9:19 pm
If you weren’t a writer then what do you think you would be?
March 15th, 2010 at 9:20 pm
Of the books that you’ve written, which character do you identify the most with?
March 15th, 2010 at 9:21 pm
How did you meet Hank and John Green? Have you ever met the Yeti?
March 15th, 2010 at 9:32 pm
Do you like waffles?
March 16th, 2010 at 9:10 pm
yaaaay subscribing via RSS is working now!
March 23rd, 2010 at 11:46 pm
You can’t imagine what your intern program would be like? MAUREEN. YOU *LITERALLY* WROTE THE BOOK! You = Mrs. Amberson. Me = Scarlett. It’s all very simple.
(No, but seriously, I can polish the jars, fix the broken stuff in your apartment, go on crazy food quests…)

[...] there are quite a few others. Some of you ktliterary.com vets might know me as WebMonkey. Thanks to Maureen Johnson, I’m also known on the interwebs as Rexroth Implausible, one half of Unfeasible-Implausible [...]
