Interview with Katie

Me: Hope everyone had a great holiday and an awesome weekend! :) This week I have the MC of Aliens Ruined My Life, Katie, with us. Say hello, Katie.

Katie: Hello, Katie.

Me: *rolls eyes* Katie why don't you tell us about yourself?

Katie: Before or after the invasion?

Me: After. That is when your story starts.

Katie: Not really. Maybe you should write another one. A prequel.

Me: Maybe next year for nano. I'm kind of tempted to write Illiandora's story. Don't you think that would be cool?

Katie: Maybe you should explain who Illiandora is.

Me: I'm the interviewer here. Now, why don't you tell us about yourself after the invasion.

Katie: Well, I have brown hair and brown eyes. My hair is kind of wavy at the ends. I don't like to be interrupted when I'm reading and I like to be sarcastic sometimes.

Me: Sometimes?

Katie: Hey, every character has some part of their writer in them. Unlike most people, I don't mind homework as long as it's not a pile of physics worksheets, but I'd rather stay in bed than go to class.

Me: So tell me about Liz and David. How are they doing?

Katie: Liz is my best friend. She's doing great. She and Nate broke up for awhile, but now they're back together. They're both planning on going to U of M when they graduate. As for David, he's my boyfriend. He's pretty hot and he's got this awesome Polish accent.

Me: Very nice. So there are aliens in ARML. Can you tell me a little about them?

Katie: You would know. Yes, there are aliens in ARML. More than you expected, huh?

Me: Yes. They weren't actually supposed to play a part. *glares*

Katie: Why are you looking at me? It was your story. You are the one that decided to screw with my life.

Me: It was your idea!

Katie: Whatever.

Me: Anyway, why don't you tell us why 1984 is your favorite book? You reread it a few times over the course of ARML.

Katie: I have no idea, I just like it. I mean, it's like a nationally available Mayan calendar or an old, book version of Day After Tomorrow and 2012.

Me: Have you seen 2012?

Katie: Not yet, David and I are going to see it next week.

Me: Let me know if it's good. So do you believe the world's going to end in 2012?

Katie: Heck no. Why are we even talking about this anyway?

Me: I have no idea. I'm just saying the first thing that comes to mind.

Katie: I think your mind needs to go back to ARML.

Me: Fine. What's your favorite movie?

Katie: Day After Tomorrow and Prince and Me.

Me: Why Prince and Me?

Katie: *shrugs* It kind of reminds me of David and I. Only he's not a prince and he doesn't drive like a maniac and he's Polish.

*knock on the door and David walks in*

David: Hey, sweetie. *kisses Katie on the cheek* I have reservations for dinner tonight. They're in half an hour.

Me: Glad to see you two are still together. David, what do you like best about Katie?

David: *looks at Katie* The fact that she's good at biology and is willing to help me with my homework so I don't fail.

Me: And if you failed, you'd have to leave Ridgedale. Right?

David: Right. So far it looks like I'm staying.

Me: That's great! Katie, what do you like best about David?

Katie: His hair. *tousles David's blonde hair*

Me: Okay you two, I'm going to let you get going. Don't stay out too late.

Katie: We won't. Bye everyone!

RTW: First Quarter Check-In

Road Trip Wednesday is a ‘Blog Carnival,’ where YA Highway's contributors post a weekly writing- or reading-related question that begs to be answered. In the comments, you can hop from destination to destination and get everybody's unique take on the topic. This Week:  Quarterly check-ins! We're already 1/4 of the way through the year--where are you on your reading and writing goals? Where did the time go??  Reading Goal: 100 books  Where I should be: About 16 Where I am: 5  Clearly it is not going very well. In my defense, I did finish up A Clash of Kings in January and read A Storm of Swords in February. I'm hoping to do some catch up reading over spring break and then really get trucking when summer rolls around. I'm probably getting A Feast for Crows this week, though, so we'll see how long that lasts.  Writing I didn't set any writing goals for this year, other than just to keep writing. My writing kind of dropped off last sem...

RTW -- Picking Titles

Road Trip Wednesday is a "Blog Carnival," where YA Highway's contributors post a weekly writing- or reading-related question and answer it on our own blogs. You can hop from destination to destination and get everybody's unique take on the topic. This Week's Topic: How do you pick your titles? I don't really have a secret for picking titles. Basically my method is to wait until something pops into my head that sounds good to me. Sometimes that title might not even really fit the book or feel exactly right, but to me it's just a working title until I think of something better. Burning Bridges was the first thing to pop into my head when I started the first draft and needed something to name the folder. I don't know why it popped into my head because I don't really see a connection between the book and the title, but it's stuck through every one of the three drafts. Lately I've been toying with the idea of changing it to Once Bitten, Twi...

Monday Updates: July 29

This is my last Monday Updates post. As of next Monday, I'm going to start up my college tips weekly blog on Mondays, since it's almost the school year.  Song of the Week: Here's to Us by Halestorm How's Life? Well, there are only two days left in July and I'm still trying to figure out where the rest of my summer went. Seriously, it can't almost be August, can it? How's TV?  Watched the series finale of Buffy the Vampire Slayer on Friday. There was a point in the middle where I wanted to just stop because I didn't want the series to end. It was a fantastic finale, definitely one of my favorites. Now I'm trying to decide which on my long list should I watch next. Silver Linings Playbook is an amazing movie. I already knew Jennifer Lawrence was a fantastic actress but she still managed to surprise me. Taken 2 isn't nearly as good as the first one, but it's a decent movie overall.  How's Reading? Books read: 0 I'm no...
