another back in the day... I love the dr set... I believe you could hear a heart beat with that one...?
omg I loved Fast Forward that was my favorite movie!
I just had a couple of moments. Sweet Valley? YES! Cabbage patch kids... Oh man.
Your throw back posts make me so happy! :) Such fabulous memories! <3
I read all the Sweet Valley High books. hehe!
(And I loved the Judy Blume books and the Ramona the Pest series!)
Golden Girls!!! I love that show, also I saw Rue McClanahan on Broadway in Wicked, it was fantastic!!!
I LOVED Sweet Valley High. In my 20s, I auditioned to write for them...twice. And was, of course, rejected twice. But it was fun. They sent an outline written by Francine Pascal, along with two books. It was good practice in trying to write in someone else's style and it taught me quite a bit about what an outline should look like. Ahhh...wouldn't that be the life? To come up with a series and just write the outlines and let others do all the work, paying them only $1,000 a book? Of course, then we'd still write something else on the side.
Found you through Tiffany's blog...she has your icon on her right panel and it drew my attention!
Yes, Francine had ghostwriters. She used Daniel Weiss Associates, at the time a huge "book packager" to do all of it. Daniel Weiss is now with St. Martin's Press. I interviewed a ghostwriter who wrote for the Nancy Drew series and I had information on ghostwriting for R.L. Stine. I think anything mass produced THAT much is probably ghostwritten, but usually in secret.
Kristie, stop by my blog--I gave you an award!
