If I don't get the goose-bump factor when I'm reading it than I can't do it.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
When I read a book, I like to be surprised. I don't want to read the same genre formula that I've read a hundred times before.
I guess my thermometer for my baseball fever is still a goose bump.
If the hairs on my neck stand up while I'm writing, I figure the reader will get the same kind of shock.
I am so excited about the 'Goosebumps' movie; I am geeking out. I was a huge fan of the books.
One of the things I wanted to do with my own books was bridge the gap between 'Goosebumps' and adult horror.
I used to have all the Goosebumps books as a kid too.
The thing I'm always trying to do when I write is hit that sweet spot where the book both keeps you up late at night, and yet a week after you've finished, it still pops back into your head.
I haven't written a young-adult book in years. I'm also doing six 'Goosebumps' books a year now.
I know I'm known for singing some of those high notes, but that's really not what giving someone goosebumps is all about. It's about really trying to find what makes you unique.
The addition of romance in my books or mystery to a historical romance is the sauce, not the goose.
