Vlog #5: The Substitute Rebel

This week, I filled in for Scott Tracey on the wonderful YA Rebels YouTube channel.
The prompt: the best and worst advice I've been given as an author.
The pros: There is dancing.
The cons: There is dancing.

  6. XD Masky scares me. He's all...glaring and harshly disapproving. (I hope I spelled Masky's name right, I'd rather not have him glare at me).

  7. I think you should have kept your first name. Karsten Knight sounds kind of boring now that I know your real name.

  8. You and Lady GaGa should get together for a concert. It would be MAGICAL.

    Great advice too! It's good to know I'm not the only one who plagiarizes. ;]

  9. Thank you for backing me up on the emoticons issue O_o

    But I think you might be leading writers astray by telling them to plagiarize in order to publish. I mean, it's all good and well, but that's not the most important thing. The most important thing is to do the one thing NOBODY HAS EVER SAID BEFORE: the secret to getting published is to pick a kickass pen name. I went with Madonna.

    P.S. Can you give Masky my number? He's just my type.

  11. I seriously laughed out loud through this whole thing... from the Dr. Evil pose to the flesh eating houseplants. That was hilarious, McSexypants! I can't deny it; you're my new favorite advice-giving guru.

  12. Too funny, love the Will Ferrell/Robert Goulet reference. And, thanks for holding back on the shameless marketing blasts. If your characters have names half as cool as McSexypants, they'll be viral all on their own.
