Fast Five…

By Rachel | Published: 27 January 2010

…reasons I love writing YA:

1. Getting e-mails from teens who read my blog and want to read my books is awesome.

2. Getting e-mails from high school teachers who read my blog and want to use my books in the classroom is possibly even more awesome.

3. I am secretly still 15 at heart. I don’t wanna grow up, and with YA I don’t have to.

4. I get to experience all those exciting firsts of the teenage years over and over again through my characters.

5. I can do things like watch One Tree Hill and just chalk it all up to research. (I told you I would explain that picture!)

Your turn: what are five reasons why you love doing what you do?

    I love showing people that they have good in them; good that can grow, flourish, and display that person’s own distinct form of beautiful, if they are willing to cultivate it.

    Love this, Rachel!
    1. Getting emails asking for advice.
    2. Kids getting inspired by something I wrote!
    3. Inspiring my own kids!
    4. I’m secretly a kid at heart too! Writing brings me back there!
    5. Because I just have to do it! I have to write!!!

    xoxo — Hilary

      Number 5 is the best! I totally agree with that one.
