Today

Today, at the end of the Rochester Teen Book Festival and a two-month break from the insanity that is the internet, I have several realizations:

1. The YA book-loving community is amazing.
2. I love writing. I can't stop doing it. I will always doodle and come up with wild story ideas, because that is in my blood. Who I share those stories with is still

Thank you so much, Jenn! I am alive... a little bruised, but I'm hoping to be smarter about things from now on.

The festival was incredible. I was so honored to be a part of it.

GREAT realizations. I hope you keep them someplace visible for those days when doubts or frustrations try to take root. They're like weeds: yank'em up, but give it a season and they return.

Thanks, April! I am still trying to embrace all the things I love about writing and ignore the whole publishing angle...which is tough considering I've been so focused on it. It's a process.
