Okay, okay, after this, I really am going to lie down...

A couple of news bytes that stood out to me:
...18-year-old Cassandra Carter, who rose to fame at 14 as a young author is putting off college to write a sequel to her first novel, in time for her second to be published. Ironically, the sequel is called Fast Life.

The second piece of news that stuck out to me is that Disney has crossed into a new market by marketing Disney tales like Aladdin, The Jungle Book and Winnie the Pooh Hindi, Marathi and Malayalam. I guess that's a great idea, but I'm more inclined to wonder why Disney doesn't find Indian stories to publish and market. But that's just me...
