I'm moving to Ireland!
Okay. Maybe not really. But I'm SERIOUSLY thinking about it because I've been at the Fangs, Fur, and Fey conference this weekend hanging out with fellow Nelson Literacy Agency author, Sarah Rees Brennan.
Who is awesome.
And Irish.
And who informed me that writers/poets/musicians in Ireland DON'T PAY INCOME TAX!
I'm almost dizzy thinking about it.

I was like, 'COOL!' When I read the title. Then I was like, 'oh, COOLER!!' Glad you are staying here. Over halfway threw Kat!!!!! Keep writing!!!

I think it'd be cool to visit Ireland. You know, to see where some of my roots are. I believe my grandma said that a few generations before her, somebody from some side of the family immigrated here from Ireland.
So yeah, that's a short family history.
Did you know that in Australia, after you live there for a year, they pay for medical and education expenses? At least, I think.
What?!? Well, I think that visiting Ireland would be a blast, but moving there would be tough. If it was Australia, however, I would definitely be tempted. ;)

you scared me half to death!!!
you can't move!!!!
i'm not giving you permission to lol. you don't need my permisson- LEC
I think I might move there!!!!
Oh, and in France, if you pay taxes, it covers all (ALL) of your medical needs?
WOW! totally cool.

Well, if you do go, even just to visit, I suggest Galway and Sligo :) And Dublin, of course!
ally ally ally u scaired probly us all half to death. but i have a question for u about dillon and DeeDee ok so in the book how did u picture them to look like???. sorry i was re-reading the books(again)and i though at first DeeDee had long blonde hair at 1st but then i read it again an thought she had short blonde hair which gave me a whole diffrent picture on the way she looked then that made me start thinking about how dillon looked and i did not even had an idea of it.
dude, you should totally do it!!! i've always wanted to move there since i've been reading a lot of nora roberts books lately, and she mosly sets her books in ireland. it sounds like a beautiful place.
Don't move to Ireland! If you do then you'll never come to Kansas City(c'mon, please?)! There are things more important than not having to pay income taxes, like, not having your books set in Ireland because you forgot what the good ol' USA looks like. Besides, in America we have American ice cream! Yum yum!
Hi Ally!
Don't you scare us like that! We all love you and your books and we would be very, very sad if you moved to another country. Ireland is very cool though. My friend spent 2 years there and she has all these really cool pictures and stuff. Just don't move!!
-Carlly
No income tax, seriously? Sweet!
I just finished reading "I'd Tell You I Love You, But Then I'd Have to Kill You" like five minutes ago (spent pretty much all morning doing that, non-stop) and it was AMAZING! The ending was a little bittersweet though. Going to have to go get the sequel :)
Gosh that scared me! lol! :]

Hey Ally! I was wondering if you think that The Secret Life of Bees would be appropriate for a 13 year old? I want to read it before the movie comes out in October.
Ally,
It was very awesome to meet you this weekend. You're an inspiration to have around---just knowing you're in my neck of the woods. So, no to Ireland. I'm now campaigning to keep the talent in middle-America ;).
-=Jeff=-
But you're still going to write for us, too, right?
--Kari--
thats cool for the Irish people...i would totally miss you though. (:
Yes, move to Ireland, we'll write together and eat lava cakes!
Failing you moving, I shall simply have to be content with you, me and a Castle To Write In...
Sarah and Ally- yes to a writing castle!
I wish I could!
Ireland PWNS all.
=D
Haha that's funny. That you would even think about moving because you wouldn't ahve to pay income tax. Then all your work in the kitchen would go to someone else though...wouldn't want that. Maybe you do, I dont know. =]]
-Devin
In my opinion, if you were to move any where besides the U.S. you should move to France. I totally would. :) LEC (again)
I love Ireland! I come from some Irish descent. Its beautiful there.
Im VERY glad your not leaving us though!!! :)
Luv ya,
Lins <3
Have you read the twilight saga? I love those books
OMG! so if you move to Ireland will you be able to come to england too?!
but then... too bad oh well! don't answer my last question
Hmmmm, does that include journalists under the writer sphere? at least the freelance kind? *considers moving to ireland herself*
