This blog was a pleasure to read. I’m 18 but I’m learning to drive at the moment. I think you just described me driving my friends car in this blog. Quite funny.. I just realised reading it, that in the future, when I think back to how i drive at the moment..i will be appalled by my own shamelessness on the road. I don’t even think that’s a real word.

Also I’ve had three dreams this week that I was Luce! I find it strange that I’ve only read Fallen once (and my favourite parts a few times), but in my dreams, it’s like i seem to remember all the dialogue perfectly… I think in my dream I’m Acting the part..I’m not sure. sigh. but they are good dreams..

My husband plans to teach me stick shift this summer. I’ve got to bookmark this post so I can read it before my lesson, lest I chicken out.

That signing looks FABULOUS. Beginning to wish I lived in CA.

I loved this.

I was thinking the other day about how I am not quite as fearless as I was when I was 16 or 17. We would speed down the road completely carefree… hike to the top of a mountain and lean out over a cliff to get the best view… Not so much anymore LOL!

I learned a stick as a teen, but still get freaked out if I have to stop while driving up a hill, I ALWAYS stall out, and without fail some idiot decided to drive up as close to the back of my car as they could.

Yesterday I was browsing at the book store saw Fallen and flipped it open to a random page and started reading just a little. I was hooked! I didn’t want to put it back on the shelf. then I was dissapointed because I just bought a book and can’t buy another for a while so will have to wait to read it (my library doesn’t have it yet). Came home and looked you up and was just really taken with what you have to say about writing for teens, that’s what makes me want to read them and write them too. I just started writing and love to hear about why people write. So thanks! Can’t wait to read Fallen.

I am lazy, when I get a car it’ll probaly be an automatic. But maybe I’ll be up to the challenge………….

Love this post!! Yes, you do look terrified and I remember the feeling. I know how to drive a stick, but it is no easy task! I still get scared on a hill when someone is close behind me. The Hot Springs look great, second best but great
Love you and J!
