leewind Lee Wind
So this is going to be the color commentary blog of R.L. Stein's keynote at #ny11scbwi #pilobumps
EllenHopkinsYA Ellen Hopkins
@leewind I see you. Of course I'm sitting next to you. #pilobumps
mbrockenbrough Martha Brockenbrough
@leewind Do you have pilobumps or are you just excited to... OMG! What was that? #pilobumps
leewind Lee Wind
Well Howdy, Ellen. Thanks for crashing! You're always welcome... #pilobumps
mbrockenbrough Martha Brockenbrough
@leewind, Oh it was just @ellenhopkinsYA. She scared me. #pilobumps
leewind Lee Wind
Okay, we're ON! #pilobumps
leewind Lee Wind
So, should we share how we came up with the brilliant hashtag?: #pilobumps
mbrockenbrough Martha Brockenbrough
@leewind My rapidly dwindling battery will add delicious tension to our conversation. #pilobumps
EllenHopkinsYA Ellen Hopkins
@mbrockenbrough @leewind it's cool in here or scary or both #pilobumps.
leewind Lee Wind
Ooh.. as delicious as the chicken? #pilobumps
mbrockenbrough Martha Brockenbrough
@leewind If they had taken the skin off, the bumps wo
uld be smoove. #pilobumps
leewind Lee Wind
So, "Pilo" means skin, as in "give me some skin!" Or, maybe... another language. #pilobumps

Special cliffhanger commentary coming from @mbrockenbrough & @leewind at #pilobumps. I'll have regular ol' tweets here.
mbrockenbrough Martha Brockenbrough
@leewind I think pilo relates to hair. You know, like depilatory. Shaving, waxing, the like. #pilobumps
leewind Lee Wind
Well, if R.L. Stine's books give you LOTS of goosebumps, maybe your arm hair just falls off? #pilobumps
EllenHopkinsYA Ellen Hopkins
Listening to R.L. Stone will almost make the chicken palatable #pilobumps
mbrockenbrough Martha Brockenbrough
@leewind The Brazilian editions, maybe. #pilobumps
EllenHopkinsYA Ellen Hopkins
I think they gave us this weird broccolini stuff in honor of "weird" #pilobumps
EllenHopkinsYA Ellen Hopkins
Night of the living broccolini #pilobumps
leewind Lee Wind
wikipedia's telling me that Goosebumps has sold over 300 million books! That's amazing! #pilobumps
mbrockenbrough Martha Brockenbrough
@leewind, do you know what the R.L. in R.L. Stine stand for? The answer will terrify you. #pilobumps
leewind Lee Wind
Then again Wikipedia's also telling me that lentils are delicious. But I believe them on R.L. Stine... He's brilli... AHHHHHH! #pilobumps
mbrockenbrough Martha Brockenbrough
@ellenhopkins Will you please rescue @leewind? He seems to have been attacked by his plate of raw lentils. #pilobumps
leewind Lee Wind
Scared you, huh? Heh, heh. These lentils are no match for my superior mastication. #pilobumps
leewind Lee Wind
AHHHHH! What DOES R.L. stand for? #pilobumps
EllenHopkinsYA Ellen Hopkins
@mbrockenbrough @ellenhopkins @leewind I'm pretty sure those are fake lentils #pilobumps
mbrockenbrough Martha Brockenbrough
@leewind Just as long as you do it alone, with your mouth closed, buddy. #pilobumps
mbrockenbrough Martha Brockenbrough
@leewind Robert Lawrence. TERRIFYING. #pilobumps
leewind Lee Wind
perhaps it just needs some sauce... Monster Blood 3? (note how I worked in one of his titles, there. #pilobumps
EllenHopkinsYA Ellen Hopkins
@mbrockenbrough @leewind you guys have to quit using such big words #pilobumps
heatherwpetty Heather Petty
@EllenHopkinsYA @leewind JEALOUS! Let's pretend I'm sitting there too... being completely witty and charming. #dreams #pilobumps
leewind Lee Wind
well, we were going to go with the full Latin for goosebumps, but we wanted to keep it Middle Grade... #pilobumps
mbrockenbrough Martha Brockenbrough
@leewind You're a regular Creature Teacher. Also? Those weren't lentils on your plate. They were (da-dah-dunh) PILOBUMPS!
leewind Lee Wind
OMGosh! I ate PILOBUMPS! AHHHHHHH! #pilobumps
EllenHopkinsYA Ellen Hopkins
I actually rallied for the entire word : piloerection. No , not kidding #pilobumps
leewind Lee Wind
That was definitely my Hairiest Adventure yet. #pilobumps
EllenHopkinsYA Ellen Hopkins
Okay twerps. Did you know the scientific word for goosebumps is piloerection? #pilobumps
leewind Lee Wind
Well of course, @ellenhopkinsya You write Young Adult! (And I believe, a new adult series... congrats!) #pilobumps
mbrockenbrough Martha Brockenbrough
@leewind Piloerections are perfectly natural, of course. It's not just a YA phenomenon. But pilobumps are catchy. #pilobumps
leewind Lee Wind
If I recall, my middle grade years were lousy with poorly timed piloerections. Um... okay, THAT was personal. #pilobumps
mbrockenbrough Martha Brockenbrough
@leewind Oh, the razor wit. #pilobumps
leewind Lee Wind
My razor wit is a Shocker On Shock street, isn't it? #pilobumps
mbrockenbrough Martha Brockenbrough
@leewind Well, I Am Your Evil Twin. #pilobumps
kdueykduey kathleen duey
@EllenHopkinsYA Mr. Stine sold lots of books. One of us could take the premise to YA??? PILOERECTIONS I'd look great on a cover. #pilobumps
mbrockenbrough Martha Brockenbrough
@ellenhopkinsYA and @kdueykduey Naughty ladies. I approve! #pilobumps
leewind Lee Wind
Oh, @Kdueykduey! Welcome to the virtual color commentary! @EllenHopkinsYA @mbrockenbrough #pilobump
EllenHopkinsYA Ellen Hopkins
Wish you Were here Kathleen #Pilobump
kdueykduey kathleen duey
@leewind @EllenHopkinsYA @mbrockenbrough #pilobumps I should be working. But no. You are all too funny.
kdueykduey kathleen duey
@EllenHopkinsYA I do, too....but am really trying to get #3 DONE. and move on.....#pilobu
EllenHopkinsYA Ellen Hopkins
Who's ready for scary stories? #Pilobumps
leewind Lee Wind
AHHHHHH! Lin's doing the jokes! #pilobumps
mbrockenbrough Martha Brockenbrough
@leewind @ellenhopkinsYA Do you think Lin's kindle joke gave Jon Fine pilobumps? #pilobumps
EllenHopkinsYA Ellen Hopkins
Let's see if these jokes are funny. #Pilobumps
leewind Lee Wind
@mbrockenbrough or just break out in a sweat - there are more than 1,100 writer and illustrators in the room! #pilobumps
leewind Lee Wind
@EllenHopkinsYA - one of them made me laugh! #pilobumps
leewind Lee Wind
Okay, so it's 350 or 400 million books sold. And that's Lin's official word on it. @mbrockenbrough Take THAT wikipedia! #pilobumps
EllenHopkinsYA Ellen Hopkins
Jovial to creepy in how many years? #Pilobumps
leewind Lee Wind
Goosebumps Horrorland is his new series (25 books knocked out so far!) AHHHH! He's taking the stage! #pilobumps
mbrockenbrough Martha Brockenbrough
@ellenhopkinsYA Everyone goes from jovial to creepy. Aging's a b*tch. #pilobumps
EllenHopkinsYA Ellen Hopkins
And he looks pretty normal #Pilobumps
mbrockenbrough Martha Brockenbrough
@leewind OK, I'm getting scared about how much better R.L. Stine's verse is than mine will ever be. #pilobumps
EllenHopkinsYA Ellen Hopkins
Squiggly things with yellow eyes... Sounds like my ex #Pilobumps
mbrockenbrough Martha Brockenbrough
@leewind A room full of 400 thriller writers. Do you suppose they set a cat loose every so often? #pilobumps
EllenHopkinsYA Ellen Hopkins
Sometimes there are no good responses to questions, as we just heard from Mr. Stine #Pilobumps
mbrockenbrough Martha Brockenbrough
@leewind Dear R.L Stine, I've read 40 of your books, and they're all ... #pilobumps
leewind Lee Wind
"Dear R.L. Stine. I've read 40 of your books, and I think they're really boring." How scary and funny is that? #pilobumps
mbrockenbrough Martha Brockenbrough
@leewind Oh, goody. @RL_Stine's going to read reviews from kids. Now that's scary! #pilobumps
EllenHopkinsYA Ellen Hopkins
Everyone is a critic. Glad Goosebumps fans question the endings, too. #Pilobumps
leewind Lee Wind
@mbrockenbrough - Jinx! You ARE my evil twin! #pilobumps
mbrockenbrough Martha Brockenbrough
@leewind Actually, I'm the good one. #pilobumps
EllenHopkinsYA Ellen Hopkins
I want my own land! CRANKLAND? TRICKSLAND? #Pilobumps
mbrockenbrough Martha Brockenbrough
Authors, advice from RL Stine: It's always a mistake to go in a parade with Mickey Mouse. #NY11SCBWI #pilobumps
leewind Lee Wind
Never act (or tour) with children or animals. Or Mickey. #pilobumps
EllenHopkinsYA Ellen Hopkins
Where do you get your ideas? Kind of think that one applies more to horror than contemporary, but maybe not #Pilobumps
leewind Lee Wind
@EllenHopkinsYA, I think you came up with the new Las Vegas ad campaign: TRICKSLAND! #pilobumps
mbrockenbrough Martha Brockenbrough
@leewind AAAAAH! Am down to 11 percent of my battery. The end is near. The lights dim. I can't feel my fingertips. #pilobumps
mbrockenbrough Martha Brockenbrough
@leewind @EllenHopkinsYA And antibiotics could ensure that what happens in Tricksland stays there. Mostly, anyway. #pilobumps
leewind Lee Wind
@mbrockenbrough... Hold on! "You don't know how things are going to end up." R.L. Stine didn't know he'd do horror! #pilobumps
EllenHopkinsYA Ellen Hopkins
Imagine writing books with one finger! #Pilobumps
mbrockenbrough Martha Brockenbrough
OK, RL Stine is holding up the finger he uses for typing. Now *that* is scary stuff. #pilobumps
leewind Lee Wind
"I've written 300 books with this finger. look at it. It's bent." #pilobumps
EllenHopkinsYA Ellen Hopkins
RL Stine wanted to write funny books for adults. #Pilobump
leewind Lee Wind
his first gig -writing made up interviews with celebrities. #pilobumps
mbrockenbrough Martha Brockenbrough
@leewind The many scary ways R.L. Stine made money writing--fake interviews?--make it clear his destiny was to terrify kids. #pilobumps
EllenHopkinsYA Ellen Hopkins
Then he wrote ad copy for magazines... Writing for a living...i've talked about building careers, and he certainly has #Pilobumps
leewind Lee Wind
He had NO idea he'd write horror, just knew he wrote funny! The idea of horror was suggested to him by an editor, and it took! #pilobumps
EllenHopkinsYA Ellen Hopkins
It wasn't his idea to write scary books, but he did when an editor suggested it. And there went his career.. #Pilobumps
leewind Lee Wind
asked teens why they liked his books, and they said "we like to be scared." And he's delivered! #pilobumps
mbrockenbrough Martha Brockenbrough
@leewind Secret Kids Network. SKN? Pronounced "skin." As in the stuff that gets goosebumps. #pilobumps
mbrockenbrough Martha Brockenbrough
RL Stine's advice to graduates: "Just say yes.... sometimes the surprises turn out to be really nice." #NY11SCBWI #pilobumps
EllenHopkinsYA Ellen Hopkins
In Italy his books are called LITTLE SHIVERS. Hmmmm. #Pilobumps
leewind Lee Wind
goosebumps in 35 languages - translated back, "chicken skin," "little shivers" - and of course, PILOERECTIONS! #pilobumps
leewind Lee Wind
Nice to hear even R.L. Stine went all fan-nervous meeting Ray Bradbury! Awww... (a heartfelt ending!) #pilobumps
mbrockenbrough Martha Brockenbrough
@leewind And scene. #pilobumps
leewind Lee Wind
@mbrockenbrough After that huge round of applause, did you and your computer revive like tinkerbell? #pilobumps
leewind Lee Wind
A BIG thank you to @mbrockenbrough and @EllenHopkinsYA for helping out! It was scary-funny! #pilobumps
leewind Lee Wind
@mbrockenbrough? Martha? AHHHHHHHHHH! #pilobumps
