When I first started writing, I never thought about publishing. In fact, it was the furthest thing from my mind. I didn't want anyone else reading my work. I never thought that my writing was good enough to publish. In fact, I'm still not too sure of that fact, but that's beside the point.
The only reason why I started writing was because I couldn't find a job. I'm kind of a stubborn teenager. I didn't want to work in fast food and that seemed to be the only place willing to hire me. Since I couldn't find anywhere to work, I decided to write--to do something productive instead of sitting on the couch the entire summer. Instead, I sat in front of a computer the whole summer.

And thus my love for writing began.
I always enjoyed writing, but I never thought that I would be able to writing a novel! That seemed daunting. Who willingly wants to write thousands of words everyday and then reedit it later on? Well...apparently, I do.
During the course of this year, I've managed to write an entire book series with four novels, go to college and pass all my classes, publish two books, and start three others. If you would have told the eighteen year old Kaitlyn what would happen in a years time, I definitely would have laughed at you.
I read a fan email last night that brought tears to my eyes. Messages like that remind me that what I'm doing can reach out to many people. Writing can speak to so many people of different levels. It's mind boggling for me to think that you all are reading the words that I wrote. You're connecting with my characters. It's crazy, and I truly can't thank you enough.
If you've been following my blog from the beginning, I'm sure that you've seen a lot of posts like this from me, and I apologize for my repetitiveness. I just can't believe what has happened this year. You all took a chance on a book written by a teenager . I have no prior writing experience and I know that BB shows that, yet you still bought the sequel.
I'm
amazed at how awesome you are and I'll never forget those that have
messaged and contacted me. Your kind words mean so much to me and I hope
that I can continue creating stories that you'll enjoy!
Just cause I think John Green is awesome:
