Mini blog: questions for the universe

--Why do designers/manufacturers even make purses that don't zip on the top?

--Why, after years of wanting a fireplace, do I have to live in a house with a fireplace that I can't even begin to be able to work?

--How in the world am I going to be able to control my fangirl giddiness when I meet Rick Riordan at NCTE next week?

--Will my publisher figure out I'm not nearly cool enough to be at the same house as Rick Riordan and kick me out?

--Will there be apples at the hotel in San Antonio where my publisher is putting me up and will I be brazen enough to eat one?

--What the heck am I going to wear?

--Is it possible that my hair keeps getting curlier? Cause, seriously. I don't think it used to be this curly.

--Will the new book ever have a title? Ever? Because I'm not so sure at this point.

--Will the new tights by Spanx be as awesome as I think they must be?

--Are my new boots comfortable or not and why-oh-why must I be so indecisive I can't even make a determination about the state of my own feet?

--How is it possible that Joshua Jackson got so much hotter between being Pacey and being the totally smart son of the mad scientist on Fringe?

--Am I the only person who thinks David Boreanez is way hotter on Bones than he was on Angel/Buffy?

--Are people going to like GG3? Cause I really, really need people to like GG3.

I'm sure everybody is going to love GG3. And I definately agree that David Boreanez is way better looking on Bones than he was in Buffy.

I'm sure everybody is going to love GG3. And I definately agree that David Boreanez is way better looking in Bones! I only know of two people who can pull off that look. Him and Michael Buble. Btw - I say eat the apple.

Hi Ally!

First off, I am a HUGE fan and can't wait to read the next GG book!

Secondly, I was wondering if you would like to be interviewed on the Katie & Katie blog.

If you are interested, please leave a comment on my personal blog, Shakespeare & Showtunes.

Thank you!

I've been wondering that myself.

Am I the only person who thinks David Boreanez is way hotter on Bones than he was on Angel/Buffy?

Nope. *g* I think it's because on Bone he actually gets to smile. :)

Kat, I think, could definitely work as a title.
I think he's hotter on Bones, so you're not alone.
And everyone will LOVE GG3!

You last worry is totally ridiculous. I'm sure everyone will love GG3. Everyone has been ranting about it at school and we can't wait until it actually comes out.

You have nothing to worry about with GG3. You don't lose your awesomeness after your first two books. So, you are all set. :)

How could anyone possibly NOT like GG3???
everyone's asking a tooon of questions, and as long as GG3 gives us some answers (or just has zach in it. because, really, any book with zach goode in it is automatically going to be up there with edward cullen) will be amaaazing.

1. Fashion is an insane mystery.
2. Google fireplace operating instructions!
3. It's not possible to control fangirl-ness, but I would reccomend imagining ductape over your mouth so you stop... or using real ductape when necessary.
4. Of course not! You are amazing and your publisher would never kick you out!
5. I'm not sure if there will be apples, but I'm sure you could request some ;)
6. I suggest wearing clothes. Nice clothes.
7. I don't know if someones hair can get curlier, mine gets darker every year though.
8. You'll think of something, don't panic!
9. I don't know how amazing they'll be, but I know they'll probably be in fashion.
10. I think all boots are comfy unless they're too small. I think yours are probably comfy too.
11. I have no idea who you're talking about, but I don't watch TV so I'm used to it.
12. Once again no idea who you're talking about.
13. Almost everyone will like GG3. Almost means not including the haters who really love the book but say they don't :D

I have an answer about the purses.
It would be for people like me who carry waay to much stuff in their purse and end up breaking the zippers . so it's better for us to have no zipper:) That was all I could think of anyway (and I have broken 4 or 5 purses that way)

well i really hope you figure out the answers!! and I HAVE NOO IDEA WHAT YOUR TALKING ABOUT!!! OF COURSE EVEYONE WILL LOVE GG3!! and i really CANT WAIT TILL DECEMBER 23RD & EVEN MORE JUNE 9TH!!!! and just eat the apple!! :D

i've got an idea. cammie/bex/liz/macey/everyone else i can wait until june 9th for if i haaaave to... on the one condition that you write a book, title it "Zach Goode" and sell it before then!

Well DUH we're going to write GG3! How can you even be so stupid as to say that Ally? When u r done reading this comment go and give urself a time out. That's an order. Oh, and don't stress about the title. The trick is, don't try to choose one that you think everyone will like, or that is really clever, or anything like that. The right answer will just be there. It will be the perfect title that matches the book perfectly. It is like that with all good books. That bad ones are the ones with the meaningless titles. (now go give urself a time out!)

And do you mean to tell me that even when your a NYT bestselling author, you still have writerly angst? My next book comes out in just a little over a month and I'm SO angsty about it. Blah.

Ally, I have an answer to why your hair might be getting curlier! My mom's did too and she was just as confused! So, she asked her hair stylist and her stylist told her that for each year women grow after puberty their hair gets curlier for whatever genetic reason. She said this happened to almost every client she has/had. So there you go, an answer to that question!

Also, I know i'm going to LOVE LOVE LOVE GG3 so don't worry, i'm sure you other fans will too!

Riordan is wonderful and quite gracious with all kind of fangirl-ness. He used to teach middle school, so he knows how to deal with just about anything.

Bring warm and cool clothes to San Antonio. The weather here can change in a second. But it will be a blast. And take the riverboat ride if you can.

I love David Boreanez both as brooding Angel and as jovial Booth. Just depends on my mood.

And I can't wait for GG3.

Hope to see you at NCTE!

Every one will love GG3. You're one of the best YA authors out there (Seriously.) Your books are clean (no language, drugs, catfights or other PG-13 and above materal. Do you have any idea how hard it is to find books with out those qualities? ) You're funny, your characters are normal. And best of all, your style rocks (which also is a hard quality to find in YA.)
Write On Ally!

I do not understand either why purse without zippers are made.
You are certainly just as cool as Rick Riordan.
Did you ever eat that apple?
Curly hair is very pretty.
People will definitely like GG3, I mean, come on, as soon as people see the author they will know it is a good book. :-)
