I am so amazed at Jessica's fabulous readership.<BR/><BR/>To Stephanie- I never really considered myself a reader or a writer, until I realized that reading all of the time (even if it was just magazines or comics) did make me a reader and writing all of the time (even if it was just silly stories for my friends or journal entires or letters) made me a writer. The experiences I use from working in a school are more the language and current trends I hear about from the students. And I think being around teens all day keep me young and goofy.<BR/><BR/>Good luck to everyone in the contest! If you ever have any thoughts or questions in the future, feel free to email me at julie@juliehalpern.com<BR/><BR/>Thank you again for reading!Julie Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02958657470974321708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6767616279966291185.post-49516631485342995962008-01-26T10:18:00.000-05:002008-01-26T10:18:00.000-05:00Hi Julie.

I haven't had much contact with friends who have depression (as far as I know) but it's something that I know has affected a lot of friends of friends.<BR/><BR/>I never thought about the concept of using a dayplanner to plot out elements of the novel. Good idea!! As a librarian, did you always know you wanted to write or did you have to "allow" yourself to transition from reader to writer? Do you use any of your experiences from working in a school in your novel?Stephanie Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17097106257851318283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6767616279966291185.post-18654082726920584392008-01-25T09:53:00.000-05:002008-01-25T09:53:00.000-05:00*Sorry about the spacing issue, guys.
