Notes from a YA Debutante

It’s no secret that I’m terribleabout writing about myself. This should also be a no-brainer. I mean, hello, I write fiction, not autobiography or memoir. My characters live way more interesting lives than I do. They get to do cool things like cast magic spells, wander through dreams, fly spaceships. Me? Boring by comparison.

Nevertheless, I have come up with the top ten semi-interesting/amusing/weird/disturbing things about me:

10. Sushi is my drug of choice. Followed closely by anything dark chocolate.

9. I have a framed “Van Gogh’s Exploding Tardis” poster hanging in my home office, and Donna Noble is my favorite Doctor Who companion.

8. I love the Lord of the Rings movies even more than the books—sacrilege, I know, but there you have it.

7. Both of my kids were born on the same day, two years apart with no planning involved.

6. My license plate holder reads: Leaf on the Wind, Wash is my Co-Pilot (and if you know what this means, you and I can definitely be friends).

5. I’m a pantser who likes to stop and ask for directions.

4. While writing The Nightmare Affair, I obsessively listened/watched episodes of Veronica Mars.

3. Given the choice, I would pick Dean over Sam.

2. In the universe of my imagination where I am Goddess of Everything, the Star Wars prequels were never made, Firefly was never cancelled, and J.K. Rowling writes one fantasy novel a year.

1. I can touch my nose with my tongue.

Bookie's Note: I can't begin to tell you how impressed I am that you can touch your nose with your tongue. Honestly I just spent the last 30 seconds trying ( no joke!). I share the same birth DAY with my brother but the same month! :P And like you, I'm a pantser ;)

Make sure to come back tomorrow for the second half of Mindee's feature! We have some juicy secrets lined up and a fantastic giveaway!
