Hi, Today I'm chatting with Katie Adams--who it seems wants to go to Paris. Me too, Katie and I've been before, but it was so fun and the food so yummy!  Oh yes, an Katie has a pet--can you guess what kind? A rabbit you say? how very brilliant you are!  Oh and Katie belongs to The Young Voices Foundation. If you haven't heard of it--check it out--a great site for teen writers!

Where do you live?
I live in Southern Georgia and am extremely proud and honored to be an American. It really does mean a lot to live in this free country that was founded on such amazing principles.

What grade are you in?
I currently am in grade 7, but will be going into grade 8 next fall. I am home schooled and absolutely LOVE it.

Have you always been interested in writing? 
Believe it or not, but I used to hate writing and looked as it as a chore, but when I was 12 years old, I came in contact with this amazing writing coach that really got me motivated to write and pushed me to write 6+ paragraph essays. I love you Mrs. Toni!! Thanks so much for your guidance!!  Seriously we need more Mrs. Toni's!

Your favorite genre to write in?
 I love to write essays. I just think it is a great way to express my thoughts, feelings, beliefs, and ideas. It really has expanded my knowledge of thinking as well!

Favorite genre to read?
 I love reading a different variety of books, but my favorite types are Mysteries, Sci-Fi, and Historical Fiction. I know, big variety right?

Three favorite books?
 I have many favorite books, but three of my favorites are "The Mysterious Benedict Society" by Trenton Lee Stewart; I totally adore that book too. Check out the link to the book's website, totally fun!"Ashes of Roses" by Mary Jane Auch; and "Letters from Rifka" by Karen Hesse.

Favorite Bands?
I don't really have an absolute "favorite" band, but one of my favorites is Barlow Girl.

Other hobbies?
Besides writing, I love to sing! My sister and best friend sing songs from the 1940s in 3 part harmony. I love to read and I love to go shopping, if that's considered a hobby... :) Shopping is totally a hobby, one of my favorite things to do too. I'd love to hear you sing!  How cool!

Favorite place to write?
 I don't really have a favorite place to write.... I usually do it at my desk on my laptop....

Where would you go if you could go back in time?
 I would live in the 1700s if I could go back in time. I just love learning about that time period and I just LOVE the clothing! How fun! I'd go to the 1800's so you could be my great great grandmother or something!

If I had to save the world, I probably wouldn't do anything.... I don't really think I could personally do anything. I think just by writing we help save the world every single day! What would life be without recording our thoughts and dreams?

Thanks for chatting, Katie.  And now to Katie's essay!
