Book excerpt: The original Blue Sparrow was born on Twitter. It's a compilation of my daily ramblings on writing and reading to encourage fellow writers to write. After it got published, my Twitter followers asked me to make the second book, with illustrations this time. So this is it. This book has 140 pages just like 140 characters in a tweet, each page adorned by an encouraging tweet like "There is no wrong way to write a novel. The only wrong way is not to write it." and an adorable drawing by illustrator Jeff Bergstrand. Happy writing!
