Does it really need to come on at 4AM and not let up until 9AM?
Why does it have to sound like banshees being tortured by trolls? What's with the even LOUDER clanging? That's almost, but not quite, like the bell that tolls for thee? Or me in this case.
Am I ever going to get a good night's sleep again?
Stupid NYC with it's stupid steam heating. I don't ever remember it being this loud before. Is it because I have a book due on Friday?!
I'm so TIRED! Waaaaaahhhhh!!
I wish I had a horrible-noise dampening fairy.

Yes, I am aware that steam heating is super energy efficient and good for the planet. So, no, I don't really hate it. But if ...

Because you deserve it, some more YA author fairies for your delectation:

I wish I had a zen master fairy to help with the parenting of the children.
Lauren Myracle, author of the amazing and terrifying Bliss, had this to say when I asked her what her fairy is:

A while back I asked my faithful blog readers
what their fairy is or what fairy they wanted. Twas a popular post so in honour of the imminent publication of my latest book,
How To Ditch Your Fairy, set in a world where almost everyone has a personal fairy, I asked these questions of a tonne of writers. I'll be sharing their answers with you over the next few months.

My new novel, How To Ditch Your Fairy, is set in a world where almost everyone has a personal fairy. My protag, Charlie, has a parking fairy (which she hates because she's only fourteen and doesn't drive and doesn't like cars), her best friend has a clothes-shopping fairy, and her arch enemy has an all-boys-will-like-you fairy.
So what's your fairy?
Or what fairy would you like to have?
