Living with OJD: BIG NEWS!

OMJ OMJ OMJ! Today was officially the best day of my entire life! I'll tell you all about it...
7AM - awoke with a fright because my phone was ringing. I stumbled to the kitchen and found it was that publisher that I had interviewed with. They want my next book and it was officially approved! I am now with Poppy Publishers! I'm very excited because this is the publishing company of The Clique Series, Gossip Girl, Poseur and more! The one, very small downside is that my books won't be as deep, as I'll be attracting a whole new teen audience which is awesome since I still am a teen. I was so excited that I thought I would never be able to go back to sleep but, big surprise, I did anyway.
10AM - I woke up for the second time and started working on my latest book.
11AM - My tutor arrived and I did my school work, which at this point is mostly finished for the year.
1PM - Went out to lunch with some of my very good, very close friends from People Magazine. I was interviewed there quite a while ago and I made some life long friends from it.
3PM - Went shopping with a few of my good friends and some family members. Found an awesome bathing suit!
5PM - Out to dinner with my cousins at the mall.
6PM - Got another very exciting phone call! It was my mom who told me to come home immediately. I had so idea what was going on, so my cousin dropped me off and when I got inside, my mom told me the best news I will ever hear: I was invited to the Camp Rock premiere by none other than THE JONAS BROTHERS! She said that they had read my first book and when they learned I was only 15, they set out to find me. I was so excited, but it meant we had to move quickly! I packed an overnight bag and we took off to the local airport. We landed in NYC at 7:30 and off we went to the most exciting night of my life.
8PM - THE JONAS BROTHERS arrived at the theater. I had already met Demi Lovato and some other awesome stars of the movie. When they said their hellos to everyone, I thought I was gonna pass out. They kept getting closer and closer to me and finally, they saw me. They came right over and each of them gave me a big hug and said they couldn't wait to meet me! I was so happy!
9PM - The movie started and guess what? NICK SAT RIGHT NEXT TO ME! I was so excited! The movie was phenominal; I'm still humming the music!!!
12AM - Said goodbye to JB and thanked them for such an amazing night. JOE KISSED ME ON THE CHEEK and asked about my newest book which I was happy to tell him about. Went to our hotel and I am completely exhausted!

So today was full of great news and shaking with excitement. I don't want today to end! I just found out that I'm staying in the same hotel as the Jonas Brothers, so I'll probably get to have breakfast with them tomorrow. This is seriously the best day ever.

Thanks everyone for checking in, you guys are awesome! Keep emailing me with ideas for blogs, I'm working on a few right now!

Living with OJD: THANK YOU.

Hey everybody! A couple things before I start: one, I'm sorry I haven't posted in about a week! Things have been super busy! I'll explain in a little bit.. two, I want to thank you all for sending me emails making sure I'm okay and also a big thank you to a few of you who have bought my book! I'm not quite sure where you found it, but kudos! I hope you guys like it!

Okay, so I've been pretty busy this past week, I had two of my first interviews and a very special audition I'll tell you about as well! The first interview was with a publishing agency who wants to get my next book on their line. I'm really excited about it because they're very well known and while I love the little family feel of my current publisher, it's just not the recognition I would've hoped for. The other interview was for a teen magazine called Seventeen, maybe you've heard of it? Haha, it's a huge corporation and I'm super excited to be a featured writer for their upcoming Summer issue. Make sure you pick up a copy! My other exciting peice of news, I went to an open casting call/audition in NYC for a new musical called Spring Awakening! I love the musical and the audition was like a dream come true. I'm not sure what they thought, all they said was "good job" and "thank you" so hopefully I'll get a callback, but if I don't, it was still really amazing. I met a lot of cool people in line waiting all day with similar interests, so that was wonderful. I can't imagine what it would be like to make it on Broadway, but I'm assuming it would be amazing. Wish me luck and I'll get back to you guys about it soon!!!

So this was a quick update, it took me a while to write though, I'm working on a new book and I keep getting side tracked. I've finished three books so far, this will be my fourth one. I'm hoping my second one will be published sometime in late Summer with the new company, but we'll see. My career is just taking off, and I thank all of you guys for being there for me.
