Q: Where do you live?
A: Without giving too much away, I live in Westchester, NY, which is the suburbs of New York City. Therefore I live about 45 minutes minutes away from the city, depending on traffic and mode of transportation.
Q: How long have you been writing? When do you think you'll finish your novel?
A: I started writing back in 11th grade (2006) after talking with a friend about fan fiction. She told me that she wrote stories about the X Files, and I decided to check out fanfiction.net and was instantly hooked after reading Harry Potter fan fiction. I started writing the A Different Road series about Harry Potter. Once I went off to college, I started writing my own stuff and have two novels that I'm working on.
The novel I'm working on right now is called Trust Fall, which is actually the second one I started. I hope to finish it and have most of the edits done by the end of the year. I have to hand in a large chunk of it for my thesis this upcoming semester. Then I want to send query letters out to agents and go from there. If it does get published, you guys will be the first to know!
Q: What's your favorite color?
A: Purple! Close second is red.
Q: What's your favorite food?
A: Hmm...probably chicken lo mein. I could eat that stuff everyday and be perfectly happy. That, or broccoli cheddar soup.
Q: What's your favorite piece of clothing?
A: I absolutely adore what I call my Taylor Swift dress. It's red and lace-y and perfect and it makes me feel amazing when I wear it.
Q: What's your favorite place in New York City?
A: Oh my god, how could I ever choose? There's way too many! But personally, two places will always be more special than anything else: One, Alice's Tea Cup! I've been here numerous times with my friends and it never ever gets old. It's just so magical and fun. Two, Central Park. It's a wonderful escape from the chaos of this city. I love all the bridges, the never ending paths, the Mall, Bethesda Fountain, I could go on forever.
Q: How do you get your hair all wavy like that?
A: My hair is naturally wavy with a little curl. After I take a shower (at night before bed), I don't blow dry it, I just pull it loosely back into a pony tail and secure one or two more elastics along the actual pony tail. If I don't pull it back and let it air dry down it turns into a frizzy mess. Trust me on this. I also don't comb it all that much.
Q: What's your favorite movie? Favorite book?
A: My favorite movie isn't anything Oscar-worthy or enlightening, it's the movie Stardust. There's just something about it that makes me happy; the story, adventure, romance, and fairy tale-quality to it never gets old. My other favorites are You've Got Mail, Amelie, The Shawshank Redemption, Letters to Juliet, Beauty and the Beast, and Mulan.
For my favorites books, go here.
Q: What's your favorite band?
A: I don't have one favorite band, but I do love Incubus, Mumford and Sons, Taylor Swift, Paramore, Imagine Dragons, A Fine Frenzy, Florence + The Machine, Zoe Keating, and Eisley. I'm still sad that one of my Eisley CD's got burned when my first car caught fire. True story.
Q: What's your favorite flower?
A: Red roses.
Q: What do you do when you're not blogging?
A: I'm most likely watching TV or reading. You guys know I'm a TV junkie. If it's the middle of the semester, then I'm probably reading for school. Or you can find me writing my novel, getting blog posts together while listening to music, reading blogs or magazines while I drink iced tea, or hanging out with my family and friends.
Little things about me:
♥ I've been friends with Jackie since 3rd grade (16 years!) and Avra since 11th grade (8 years!).
♥ I need to write things down or I'll completely forget it.
♥ I hate getting crumbs in my bed.
♥ Snails and slugs creep me out.
♥ I love reading at night before bed.
♥ I don't like using blue pens (black pen user for life!).

Ah New York..... I should tell you the story where I found that little guitar shop and while looking through their stuff there was Brandon Boyd sitting there totally unfazed playing along..... it was only me and him in this tiny shop and the dude who didn´t seem to be very interested in working there. Memories :)
ReplyDeleteOh my god, you saw Brandon Boyd playing guitar?! That's awesome!
Deleteawww, I looooove stardust too. Gosh it was so funny and adventurous and everything you listed above. I've watched it so many times or sometimes I just catch glimpses to catch fun.
ReplyDeleteMy first time here and I'm really enjoying your blog. It's beautiful and lovely. inspires me as a writer too. :)
It's the best! If it's on TV I'm usually watching it!
