I watch Hannah Montana...

This is my first post on this blog, and I've got to say, I'm pretty excited. I am a big blog reader, though I'm not much of a participant. I've tried at blogging a few times before, but it never really worked out. I'm hoping this will.

Anyway, as it says in my "About Me" section, I'm a sixteen-year-old aspiring writer. I finished my first novel on my thirteenth birthday. A couple novels and about two years later, I got an awesome agent, and now my YA novel is making the rounds.

Even if it seems kind of mature to be so into publishing at my age, I am definitely a regular (albeit kind of nerdy) teenager.

For one, I watch Hannah Montana. In fact, I have Hannah Montana on in the background right now. It's not a particularly good show, I suppose, and yet I watch it...and watch it...Same with many other shows on Disney. Of course, I also watch The Office, 30 Rock, Heroes, and The Amazing Race.

A bigger indicator of my total teenage-ness: my huge crush on Nick Jonas from the very teen-friendly band the Jonas Brothers! I have a not-so-secret dream of my book becoming a Disney Channel Original Movie, them casting Nick Jonas, and then me getting to visit the set and, of course, meet him and have the two of us fall in love, etc. Okay, so it might be a tad unrealistic, but whatever. A girl can dream, right?

I also attend school like most teenagers. It is boring. Anyone who goes to high school knows that. I'm a good student, but that doesn't really translate into me enjoying myself. Especially when it comes to gym class.

Writing just happens to be my passion, and I feel so blessed that, at my age, I actually have a passion and things I'd like to do with my life. I hope to be a Creative Writing major in college, and if I can't be a full-time writer when I'm older, do something in the publishing industry. Speaking of the future, college is feeling awfully close, which is awfully freaky.

So overall....yeah, I'm just a teenager. Who writes. And who will now be writing here and sharing some random thoughts with you! I hope you all stick around and keep up with my blog, not to mention leave comments.

A little comment jump-starter: If you are a teenager, what about you and your life is quintessentially teen-like? If you're past your teenage years, feel free to reminisce in the comment section!

Thanks everyone!

And thanks to the awesome Flickr users our there for the pictures of Nick and of Hannah!

  1. Hi! I spy my blog on your blogroll, which is just very awesome. =)

    I must say, I don't see the Jonas brothers appeal. *shields self* Hannah Montana on occasion is some trashy good fun, but I much prefer Heroes :)

    HMMMM... I guess my quintessentially teenage thing is how dramatic I am. I have one of those big-hair personalities. And I'm very very hormonal and loud and like to cram as many thoughts as I possibly can in a single sentence. Very frustrating for the person reading. Hopefully I'll grow to become calmer!

    So, you've got a book on sub? How's it going? Good luck!

  2. Great first post (took me awhile to get a hang of it, myself... I'm sure I'm any good at it NOW), and I LOVE 30 Rock.

  3. Was that I'm sure I'm any good... right. That's just me, grammatically incorrect.
    Is that how you spell grammatically?

  5. I'm 19 but I LOVE Hannah Montana! I also like the anime series Naruto and read mainly MG and YA books. I'm a dork who loves to goof off so, yeah, I'm a teen all around and will still be one even when my age says you're not. :D
