I have been SO off of blogging I wasn\u2019t even sure how to begin this entry. Which is CRAZY, considering how often I used to do it. What, you may ask, HAVE you been doing with all your time? Well, there\u2019s been this little matter of raising my kid. Also a first draft of the next book to try and finish. Plus: husband\u2019s business things, brawling with NC Dept of Revenue (don\u2019t ask, will just say do NOT recommend it) coddling my chickens, helping my parents get ready to move for the first time in over thirty years. Also, a lot of Real Housewives to watch.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Somehow, however, I have managed to join Pinterest (<\/a>http:\/\/pinterest.com\/dessensarah<\/a><\/a>)\u00a0AND resurrect this Tumblr. So clearly I am still into social networking\/procrastination, if not blogging. Look no further than my Twitter (@sarahdessen) which I am on constantly. I\u2019m thinking I may cross post from now on here AND Tumblr, with shorter entries. If I can pull myself away from my chickens and the Housewives.<\/p>\n

I am also reading: I swear! Although this week I faced that dilemma of having started a REALLY well reviewed, Literary, Important Book that I just\u2026couldn\u2019t get into. It was nonfiction, a bestseller, with a serious but crucial subject. The kind of book you feel like a moron if you don\u2019t like, because you MUST be shallow. (That\u2019s my internal voice talking: it\u2019s nice, right? Yeah, I don\u2019t really think so either.) Anyway, thanks to support of my Twitter folks, I decided to set it aside anyway, even if it was a failing on my part. It was not the book, it was me. But as my mom is fond of saying, \u201cLife is too short to read books you don\u2019t enjoy.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

And you know what? I am SO GLAD I did, because I finally had a chance to pick up John Green\u2019s latest, THE FAULT IN OUR STARS. Disclaimer: I bought this book back on the day it was published (no joke) but I don\u2019t read YA that much, and not at ALL when I am working on a draft of my own. Too distracting. However, I was finally at a place where I could dive in and I am LOVING it so much. (Please, no spoilers! Please?) I really don\u2019t want to work on my own book at ALL since it is so good (which is kind of unfortunate, as I really do need to knuckle down right now). Seriously, though, I\u2019d been trudging through this serious book, berating myself for not being more into it. Then I picked up TFIOS, read one page, and was sucked under. Night and Day, people. Related: YA rocks. Yeah, I said it. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Sarah Dessen has tumblr now! And thinks TFIOS rocks! (This is just a piece of the post, go to Dessen’s blog for the rest!)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
