I like revising much, much better than getting down a first draft. The first draft is just getting the pieces to the puzzle. Then I get to put the puzzle together!

I always had stories inside my head and one day I just decided to start writing them down. I didn't actually decide.

Kids should read whatever they want to read. So I'm hoping that just like 15-year-olds read "Summer Sisters," I'm hoping that they'll read this.

hi I hope u want to be my friends

I think about Lenaya and Hugh. Will they know how much I've changed this year? Will they have changed too? I'll wait until tomorrow to find out. And then it's possible I won't find out after all. Because some changes happen deep down inside of you. And the truth is, only you know about them. Maybe that's the way it's supposed to be.

our finger prints dont fade from the lives we touch

I'm really quite bad at coming up with plot ideas. I like to create characters and just see what will happen to them when I let them loose!
