We Paul Rudnick, so we jumped at the chance to participate in the tour for his latest title, It’s All Your Fault, which hits shelves everywhere on January 26. We got to ask Paul for his Top Ten things he has to have in his writing space, and we think you’re going to love them. We’ve also got a fabulous giveaway to share with you at the bottom of the post!
***Paul Rudnick’s Top Ten Things He Needs In His Writing Space***
- A fiendishly comfortable couch
- Ancient sweat pants
- A stack of yellow legal pads (I write my first drafts in longhand)
- Many cheap ballpoint pens (see No. 3)
- Bottled water (so I don’t have to stagger to the sink)
- A bag of cashews
- A hand-held vacuum, for crumbs
- Eventually, a computer
- Air-conditioning when necessary
- A friendly cartoon mouse, who will do all the actual writing

One last chance. One wild weekend.
My name is Caitlin and up until forty-eight hours ago I had never:
Tasted alcohol, kissed a boy, sang in public at the top of my lungs, kidnapped anyone or--WHAT? STOLEN A CONVERTIBLE?
Now I'm in jail and I have no idea what I'm going to tell:
The police, my parents, the mayor, all of those camera crews and everyone on Twitter.
I have just noticed that:
My nose is pierced and I have-WAIT? IS THAT A TATTOO?
I blame one person for this entire insane weekend:
My famous cousin.
Who is also my former best friend.
Who I have HATED for the past four years.
Who I miss like crazy. NO I DON'T!!!!
IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT, HELLER HARRIGAN!!!!
