Jamie over at The Perpetual Page Turner featured this on her blog last week. I loved the idea of sharing a little bit more about myself. I don't write too many personal pieces on the blog and maybe it's time I change that. I'm not a coffee drinker, so I changed it to tea.
If We Were Having Tea....I'd tell you that next Friday will be the last day at my library being a YA Librarian. I've been a YA Librarian for almost 11 years. I've had some really great moments there: collaborating with co-workers, presenting at conferences, hanging out with teens, and of course talking about books.
If We Were Having Tea....I'd tell you that I will greatly miss being a YA Librarian. But I'll still be a part of the community. I love this YA community. I'll still be blogging. I'll still be talking about books on twitter and tumblr. And I'll still be keeping tabs on the librarian world.
If We Were Having Tea....I'd tell you I'm going to embark on a new adventure. It makes me excited and nervous all that the same time. I'm going to chase my dream of becoming an author. I have several manuscripts in various stages that I'm going to work on over the next year or so. Fingers crossed that one day, I will be using this blog to tell you all about my upcoming book!!!

It takes bravery to break out of your comfort zone and pursue something like this. Good luck to you!! Can't wait to see where it all takes you!
Gosh, the non-virtual YA community will miss you. I wish you success and content! I wish you the best!
This sounds like a wonderful, brave adventure! You can take the librarian away from her library, but you can never take the library away from her heart. Go get 'em!
Congrats on taking this next step!! Can't wait to read your books already...
Wow, are you taking another job, or just going to concentrate on writing? Are you able to afford that? Just curious as I have a friend who is currently an online teacher, but wants so bad to just be a full time writer. She's self published 3 books so far. Good luck to you in your new adventure!
I wish you the best of luck, how exciting to be pursuing writing! I look forward to reading your published work in the future,
Best wishes,
Sharon
wishing you all the best! look forward to reading your books,
keep us posted...
