here is some more from Shonda:

And BTW I love her twitter description of her shelf - "I make stuff up for a living. Remember it's not real, okay? Don't tweet me your craziness." LMAO.
And reading Shonda's comment - I think all will be staying at Seattle Grace next year to "work things out." Now - I would be really surprised to see more people die come September.
I guess I don't get why people hated it. It wasn't happy by any means but it leaves season 9 open for lots. Will Derek lose his hand (um, we had this story line before), will Hunt & Christina get back together and will she have a baby? Will Arizona live? (I personally don't like Arizona...) What about Mark? If Mark makes it - what does the next season have for him - a season of regret? A depressed McSteamy? It leaves a lot open, but most season finales do. I can't name one that wraps everything up in a nice, neat package that doesn't leave some questions open.
