Dream Debutante Dress - If I have to get out of my sweatpants and UGG boots, might as well go for it.

Notes from a YA Debutante

Thanks for including me in this great event, Lisa! It’s an honor to be part of such a talented group of writers and the trip to Australia you threw in the mix was just so generous! ( Note: I could only pay for three tickets so Veronica is travelling in Brodi's suticase..shhhh! :P)

Here are ten random facts about me, in random order of course:

1. I love numbered lists.

2. I started writing seriously eight years ago. UNDER THE NEVER SKY is my third manuscript.

3. I read roughly ten books at a time. They are everywhere in my house.

4. I’ve seen Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark more than twenty times.

5. Whenever I can, I compare things to art or paintings, which usually makes no sense to anyone other than me. For example, “He’s got this skinny, Egon Schiele look to him,” or, “She has a Boticelli face.”

6. I have always named my computers/laptops. My current MacBook Air is named Romeo. The last was named Leo. I don’t know why they all end in “eo.” Maybe the next one will be Galileo? Or Neo? Or Theo?

7. I love rainy days, but not Mondays. I’m not a fan of Mondays at all, and I would like to propose that the entire month of February be done away with. We could move Valentine’s day to March, and no one would miss it. Are you with me?

8. I love being by the ocean but not “in” the ocean. I blame my parents for letting me watch JAWS at an impressionable age.

9. I took archery lessons as part of my research for UTNS. Loved it big time.

10. Regarding my debutante dress, I’m a little iffy about it. I think it’s gorgeous but it doesn’t look as comfortable as my sweat pants. Can I be a debutante in my beat-up UCLA sweat pants?
