ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

 
 

Writing a book is not as
easy as it sounds. I went through every phase: the ‘OMG! Let’s write!’ phase,
the ‘Can I just be done?’ phase, the ‘This is going in the trash’ phase and
last but not least, the ‘Can I sleep now?’ phase. It was a very long process,
and even though we wrote the first draft in a month, I was ready to be done by
the end of November. There was no way I would have been able to do it without
some people, so thank you to the many of people who helped.

First Mrs. Spikes, I’m sorry
for all my annoying questions. I know you must hate me by now, but that’s
alright
. You are an awesome teacher, and I’m really glad I
got to write a book other than read To Kill A Mockingbird seven times. You were
a lifesaver with all my extensions and advice.

Next,
my parents.
Dad, thank you for helping me develop a
passion for reading. I know I’ve bought hundreds of dollars in books within the
past year, but you kept your promise to buy me as many books as I could read.
Had I not been into reading, this project would have gone a lot differently.
Mom, I stole your computer for a month. Although I should say I’m sorry I’m
not, because you eventually got so sick of me, you bought me my own computer.
Also, thank you for the late night food and caffeine runs so I could meet the
deadlines. Even though I shut myself in my room for two months, you were always
supportive of me.

Last but certainly not
least, Allie Anthony. Not only are you the bomb, you were my muse for this
book. Your
never ending
snarky comments helped me
shape my characters. It felt wrong not to name her after you, so I stole your
nickname for my main character. You read over every scene, and were a huge
help. I’ll miss you like crazy next year (but I’m still coming back for Edge Fest).

I had such a great experience writing this book, and hopefully
I’ll gain many more experiences. Thank you.
