She began by reading from The Frenzy; the library's copy was checked out, so she read from a borrowed tablet device. She also talked about her gratitude to Charlotte Zolotow, for knowing what to do with Weetzie Bat, and how she (FLB) has been trying to get the movie version made forever (lamenting that Gwen Stefani is now too old to play Weetzie). She also described how she *sees* her books, like they're films, and how her best work starts with the feeling she wants to convey. She mentioned the projects she's working on now — including a Weetzie Bat prequel and about ten other things all at once — and encouraged all the writers in the audience to follow their creative bliss.
