Super Mini Blog: THE BOOK IS FINISHED
Well, if by finished you mean "I've been all the way through it once and now have to gear up for three or four months of mind-numbingly hard rewrites" then yeah, it's finished.
By the way, this book is the one I sloppily refer to as "Heist" or sometimes "Kat". It doesn't have a title or a publication date yet but will in all probability follow GG3 sometime in late 09 or maybe 2010.
If you want to know more about this (or anything else, really) please take advantage of the "search" box at the top of this blog. By typing in Heist or Kat you can get a lot of info.
thanks and have a great weekend!

YAY!!!!!!! i can't wait (seriously, i've been checking this thing every day just to see when the TITLE come out) for GG3 and heist!! i'm soooooo glad ur done!
I'm not an author or anything at all, but the hardest part for me is normally just getting my butt off the couch and actually writing. i like editing. but ur right, it can get really tedious, and i'm not even showing my book(s) to anyone but my friends! please edit/rewrite quickly tho! and good luck!!
yaaaay ali!!!
congrats on the first draft, now comes the easy bit lol.
KOOLIO!

OMG!! YAY!! We're that much closer to getting to read it!!! YAY!!! I can't wait!!
Congrats, Ally! It must feel so good to at least get something "complete" on paper. I know you'll go through a lot of re-writes and the final version may not look much like the current one, but we know we're going to get another amazing book from you. Treat yourself to something nice (unless that something nice was already a new sewer system! :( )

yay!!!!!! I can't wait, Ally!
Good for you Ally!
I'm so happy you got through the first draft of Heist/Kat..Or Otherwise Classified.
Now you know,since you got through it with almost no hesitance I'm sure that it shall be a great book.
BTW,Are you going to be doing a blog full of question and answers again? Because I have a question.

Briana
YEAAAA!!!! Go Ally!! *high fives*
And to make you feel better about the whole Heist/Kat title thing, I started writing writing a book (not done yet) and for 6 months I just called it "Spy." How imaginative...
Yay!!!
Do we get a sneak peak?
Or apple pastries?
How long is this draft? and how long do you anticipate the final draft will be?
Go Ally!! yay you finished!!!! Keep going!

Yay!!! Congrats, Ally! I personally think "Heist" is a really cool name for a series..
"You know, I'm reading the HEIST series, yeah--you know, by Ally Carter?"
Awesome-licious.
And I know this is kind of random, but I just started a blog for creative writing class, and I'm wondering how you set it so that the different paragraphs actually show--so it doesnt come out as one big body of words...?
CONGRATULATIONS, ALLY! I've only gotten a taste from writers' blogs and friends what a grueling process writing a book is, but you have my utmost respect.
Go Ally! Good job, girl!
-Kate L. M.
if heist might come out in 2010 does that mean gg4 will be an even longer wait???
What?! U finished the nameless book but not GG3?! Hmph! I am no longer speaking(er, writing) to u Ally!
YEAY!!!!!!!! i can't wait to read it... even tho im going to havta wait a looong time :( but, hopefully, now you'll work on GG3 faster, now, right? Right? I hope so!!! that way i''l at least have something to read (altho ill probably get so into it ill finish GG3 in a day so it won't really do much to hold me over, but watev!) ur almost done!!!!
Congratulations, Ally! I am so proud of you. I think you deserve a reward. Maybe a movie, or a box of chocolate donuts. Great work!
-Lisa
