As a pre-launch bit of fun, Mlynowski asked on Twitter:
Ever wonder what YA authors would tell their high school selves? (If they had magic cell phones that could call the past?) #gimmeacall
Lots of YA authors responded, and you can see some of their responses in this article by Mlynowski. But the cool thing was that thousands of regular folks jumped in with all kinds of advice to their teen selves. Here's the whole conversation.
And that was what was so great about this book launch -- lots of us got involved. Some had funny advice for themselves, some poignant, some serious. The exercise appealed to a wide range of personalities, and the clues to their teen personalities were intriguing.
So what would you tell YOUR high school self?
Have you witnessed other product launches that got people involved like this?

I saw this on facebook and thought it was such a cool idea. I don't write YA, but I think it's a question that digs down to where a lot of ordinary people's insecurities began. Maybe that's why it has intrigued so many.
What would I tell my teenage self?
Do a better job taking care of yourself.
Good advice. Too many don't, at all ages.
