Hey Internet people,
I've been thinking a lot about books lately (since school has eaten my life and the only book I've read for the first time since I finished the Maximum Ride series a month ago has been for school) I'm deciding to make this blog be less me ranting about my life to more of a place to talk about books and writing. If there's any ranting it will be related to books and writing. I'll try to keep updated with my novel progress.
If anyone one has book suggestions feel free to make them. I read just about anything (note I read just about everything, but I do not LIKE everything I read).
Thanks!
- Heather
P.S. Not ranting about life doesn't mean no ranting in general (I've been known to shred books)
P.P.S. Currently my Books To Read List is over 150 books long so if I don't make any note to a suggested book for a long time, that's why.

Favorite Writer Quotes
So then I did the only thing I could do, I made him a character in my novel.
I’m not schizophrenic, I’m a writer.
I write, therefore I embrace insanity.
Remember, writers are the only adults who get to spend all day in their pajamas playing with their imaginary friends.
Characters: Can’t live with them can’t kill them off or it nullifies the entire plot.
Being an author is like being in charge of your own insane asylum.
Sometimes, I wish my characters were real. Then I remember that they’d all want to kill me and then I’m happy again.
Writing, my anti-drug, but my characters would prefer I did drugs.
