I'm also really excited for this series and to hear more about your motivation behind writing and coming up with your story and everything else in the writing realm 🙂 I think I can relate to you so much in having a soft spot for teenagers and wanting to take not so great experiences you had and share them with others, so people know they're not alone!

I understand them. I empathize with them. I remember what it was like to be them." I feel this so much. Maybe because I'm only 20 so I was a teen not long ago lol. But my voice will always be in YA. It's so incredible that you wrote a book girl! You should be proud 🙂

Damn girl! 😉 I love the idea of you being so empathetic with teenagers – the poor angels need someone to "get" them!!

I'm pretty much the opposite in that I blocked all of teenager-hood out (even when I actually WAS one). But that's so fantastic that you're able to channel all that emotion into something and make everything you went through and felt help someone else!

I tried to block out most of my teenage memories. I was not a fan of high school, at all. The teenage years were so confusing. I remember everyone telling me that everything I had an issue with then meant nothing in the real world and I would look back and laugh at it all….which I do now sort of of, but then I just couldn't see it!

Your marching band picture brings back a flood of memories. Us band nerds gotta stick together! Forever! And now I am going to go have nightmares about plumes.

And our prom dresses were eerily similiar though mine was purple (???). Same cut and same shimmery fabric though!
