Random Stuff about Me

Why I Became a Writer: I like cookies. When I was five years old there was a toddler that lived across the street that cried all the time. I remember the little girl’s mother sitting out on front porch, looking exhausted one morning. I walked over and asked her if her daughter would like me to tell her a story. I’m sure this young mom thought I was a strange but her daughter seemed to like my story enough to listen instead of cry. The mom said she would pay me with cookies if I came back the next day. I came back all summer. Stories and cookies. What could be better?

Why I write for people that are younger than I am: I like teenagers. There is something brutal and wonderful about not having a clue who you are.

So I’m reading this fluffy article today about productivity, which seems ironic since the people that are reading this article are definitely not being productive. But okay. So the article starts off by saying that productive people take breaks.To avoid “saturation.” Okay to that too. But what about a brain that has been on overdrive since October? What kind of break should that brain take? Bec...

I used to think that John Green was just smart. And funny/insightful the way smart people are. But he gives the reader much more in this book. He gives good scars. I couldn't put it down.

This is a book that asked something of me. I think reading the book quickly is inevitable, because it's well written, but when I forced myself to slow down I felt that I was rewarded with challenging characters and maybe even a little soul searching...more

“There is something brutal and wonderful about not having a clue who you are.”
Kristen Chandler

“I would laugh at all my provincial inmates, but I’m too busy lusting. I’m not usually interested in a guy with “take a number” on his forehead, but this guy doesn’t have a forehead — it’s buried in messy blond hair. And he’s not one of the twenty guys I’ve known my entire pubescent life. he smiles like the Fourth of July. What’s a dumb girl to do but get in line with everyone else not in his league? I guess journalism just became my most beloved class.”
Kristen Chandler, Wolves, Boys and Other Things That Might Kill Me

“I hate it when discovering something wonderful about someone else requires me discovering something pathetic about myself.”
Kristen Chandler
