Now I'm almost there.<br /><br />I've added you to my blogroll.

Like you said, it's full of firsts, and everything is still exciting. Teens are full of passion and idealism. I really want to capture that. It helps me feel sane when I'm paying bills and mopping up baby puke.Jill Wheelerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15059527254551768150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3443901803553575238.post-57884436356193105472010-06-09T08:26:43.771-06:002010-06-09T08:26:43.771-06:00I write YA because I read YA.

YA novels are allowed to have this raw, honest, butterfly-coming-from-a-chrystalis feel to them, and the voices are sometimes kind of angsty, sometimes kind of quirky, but always...voicey, you know? <br /><br />Dangit.
