Sarah, I agree. You can really bond over French fries.

And Jo, ever since I found out Carrie AND Cynthia were our mutual friends, I knew we needed to hang out more. I hope to have writerly lunches with both of you soon.

Valynne–you called it! The REAL reason I didn’t take pictures of my Train Buddies is because I didn’t have a camera. Which also explains the lack of food pictures in this post.

I’m a little surprised you didn’t take pictures on the train. Awkwardness doesn’t seem to ever stop you. You’re fearless. (Cue the Taylor Swift song now.)

Emily!
I guess we just have to have random lunches more often so we become better friends!! It was so great to meet you. And now I want to take a train ride and make more cool friends.

Now Emily, how could I *not* remember you? We shared so much together over that plate of French fries! I hope our paths cross at another writerly event soon!

I love it. The picture, not the trend.

It won’t last. Vampires are soooo yesterday. Werewolves are the next trend.

lol! I love the picture. I have nothing against vampire novels, but I’m getting tired of teen vampire romance novels.

I think . . . it could. The fantasy train shows no signs of slowing down.

A) This made me laugh
B) I am majorly impressed that I didn’t have to try to read the photo sideways. Good work.

I think it’s more like YA Fantasy section. There are zombie novels, post-apocalyptic, even killer unicorns. You can find practically every genre, but there does seem to be a huge emphasis in vampire/werewolf/supernatural/fantasy, etc.

Of course, I remember the days when if you wrote fantasy you kind of whispered it in this shamed kind of way, because only the geekiest of geeks actually read that stuff. For all non-fantasy readers/writers out there, the cycle will change and some other genre will take over for a time.
