10.
I don’t write… to change the world because that would be silly. I write to make
money and live the ‘good life’. (AH hahahahahah!!! That's funny, Kelly.)
9.
I don’t write… to take forever on a book. Seriously, I can put out a finished,
edited, polished book in two weeks easily.
8.
I don’t write… to meet other writers because we all really are against each
other. No friends in business.
7.
I don’t write… for my fans/readers. I never take what they have to say into
consideration and would never name characters after them.
6.
I don’t write… to get better at it. Honestly, I was at the top of my game in
high school. Why would I need to improve? (Amazing!!! Me too.)
5.
I don’t write… to tell stories that are laid on my heart. I use what’s
‘popular’ and go from there.
4.
I don’t write… to make my kids proud of me. They are the last thing on my mind.
3.
I don’t write… to have to participate in blog hop. I get so tired of them.
2.
I don’t write… Young Adult because it’s what I feel God has laid on my heart.
It’s for the money… because all the money is in YA. (My sides hurt from laughing.)
1.
I
don’t write… extremely sarcastic blog posts in the hopes of making you laugh,
giggle, snicker, nod, and/or guffaw… oh wait…. I guess I do ;)
I
want to thank Jessie for having me on her blog today. Honestly, I love my
readers, write YA because it’s what I feel God wants me to write, love blog
hops, want my kids to be proud, to get better at it, to take my time and write
a good story, and maybe… maybe change someone’s life or (even) the world. (Kelly, sounds like we need to get to know each other better. We have a lot in common.)
