Stuck in Y.A. Books

I would love to welcome Alice Kuipers to Stuck In YA Books!! As part of this awesome tour held by HarperCollins Canada. I would like to present a guest post from the Alice!!!!   Thanks for hosting me on my blog tour – I always enjoy reading your reviews here at Stuck in YA Books.   I thought today I’d write something for you that’s connected to my new novel 40 Things I Want To Tell You .

The first one is a simple tip, but it helps me whenever I feel grumpy or stressed about writing.   Just write.   It’s a bit like the Nike ad from the 90s: Just Do It.   Turns out that the marketing department at Nike had it right – just doing something is the best way to figure out if you are passionate about it, if you have something to say, if you want to do it again.   And again. ...

In Gina's package, which was soo exciting because she is an awesome author, she sent me an ARC of her debut novel Auracle (signed) and some awesome swag <3 Be sure to follow her on twitter :) On Wednesday, HarperCollins Canada sent me 40 Things I Want To Tell You for an upcoming blog tour, and Once by Anna Carey, really excited to read it!
