…and the blog gets so much love! I was so wrong to think that just because I was a bit burned out on it (harsh, but true) that you were as well. I got verklempt reading all the comments from people who have been reading this blog from the VERY beginning, twelve years and counting. Whoa.
The upshot of the rest of the comments was just what I needed to hear. Twitter is good, Tumblr too, don’t stress about Facebook. Done, done, done. What you MIGHT see here are shorter blog posts, but more of them than just The Friday Five. Or, just that but I WILL keep it going. I owe it to you guys. Clearly.
Thanks again so, so much.
And now, as it is cool and rainy here, I am crawling into bed with a good book—Liz Moore’s HEFT—and possibly taking another nap. It’s not up to me, people. It’s the weather!
Have a good Sunday, everyone!
Of course you should keep blogging!!! I’ve read this blog since right after This Lullaby came out
I didn’t comment on your previous post, but I agree with everyone else in that I love the blog! I’ve been reading it for a while now and it would be sad not to have it anymore.
I’m so glad you’re going to keep the blog going! I love reading your posts, they always bring a smile to my face. :]
I’ve been here, reading along, for years and years. Keep blogging!
Sarah I am a huge fan of yours and absolutely love your blog, and your books. I can not wait for your next one, and until then will just have to re-read all your others. Thank you for writing such amazing novels! (One day, I found myself finishing That Summer and then without even thinking about it, I picked up The Truth About Forever, and finished it that night)
Love the blog Sarah, keep up the good posts!
So good to hear that! And I agree with people: Twitter good, plus it keeps you updated. Tumblr, when you feel like it, no pressure. Blog: it can be a short one or not, once a week or once every fifteen days, it’s ok!
Your a writer, mother, wife, the cook, and more. It must be exhausting, but we understand so take your time
Amen to the sleepy, book-reading weather! I am hoping to finish “When She Woke” by Hillary Jordan soon. I don’t know if you are into Nathaniel Hawthorne, but this book is a modern retelling of “The Scarlett Letter.” Or I may just watch Netflix…
Yeah for the blog! I love reading your posts, Sarah! Although I have not been as devoted as others, I do love your blog. Sooo glad you’ll keep it going
OMG I am SO glad that you are going to continue blogging! I literally check on here every day in hopes I’ll see a new post. Thanks SO VERY MUCH!
Sarah, if you ever see this, I just got into your books and I had heard of you before. I read The Truth About Forever and you are making me think of what I want from a guy and I could compare so much to Macy with her mother situation since my mom works for a large company and is busy/stressed often. I realized while I had been thinking of someone like Jason, Wes is just so spontaneous and perfect. I’d rather not have restrictions like Macy’s relationship with Jason, but opportunities like she had in her relationship like Wes. And I love the Truth game idea..
So thank you, for everything!! -Sarah
I have not seen the previous blog but I must say after reading this one…keep blogging! Please. It doesn’t have to be everyday, but reading it every so often always makes my day. I started reading your blog while working as a teen librarian 8 years ago. Since then my life has taken a turn, I am no longer a teen librarian, but a mom and continue to work at the library part time. What hasn’t changed is my appreciation for your stories. Blog, novel, and otherwise..yes I do follow you on Twitter.
I feel the blog started the rest….and when I can read it I am grateful and happy. Keep writing. 
I’m super excited for more posts! I love the voice in your writing. Totally natural. Thanks for keeping with the blog. We won’t disappoint you.
Sarah!
So glad to hear you are going to continue blogging! You are my shot of sunshine most days! Love your endearing, funny, heartfelt posts!
Enjoy Heft, it is on my desk waiting for student teaching to end so that it can have my full attention.

Missed the questions on Friday, but since everyone else agreed with me, that’s OK! Keep the blog (but do it stress-free, as you feel the urge). Twitter is fun, Facebook is not necessary. Write more books!! The problem is I read them the day they come out and then. . .The Long Wait. (And I was already in my 40s when I discovered your books, so consider this a vote from an unusual decade.)
Sarah Dessen I just wanted to thank you for making such amazing novels. They have really helped me threw life, and though I am a more recent fan (fan for three years) I am a huge fan as it appears everyone else is. I love how your stories actually relate to teens lives, they have certainly helped me threw countless of issues at least, as I am sure they have many other girls. Thanks, oh, and certainly keep blogging. Love you so much, Holly.
I love your blog so much Sarah! One question though, can you tell us how many pages your next novel is going to be? I am dying not knowing!
heey sarah!!(: okay i love love love love your books SO MUCH. Are you coming out with any soon? Please let me know, i read ALL your books except for like three of them haha. Please write back(: Love you!

I have to say, I just discovered your books a couple of months ago while browsing the Young Adult section in my local library, though I wish I’d known about them years ago:) Not only do I love them (they ring so true to my high school days), but I’ve drawn inspiration from them in my own writing.
Also, when I first read your bio, I was so happy to see you’re a Carolina girl. I too am a UNC-CH alum (undergrad ’01/grad ’04) & loved every minute of it…go heels! (I stayed in the area myself)! My only regret: not taking a creative writing class (namely yours) while I was there. But thanks for the great writing, novels and blogs alike.
BTW…my oldest daughter was born in early September of 2007..something about those Virgos, total drama queen divas! (and I thought the 3′s were tough!)
Definitely keep your blog. I’ve been reading it for the past 3 years and would miss your awesome posts. I may not be on Twitter, but my best guess would be to just go with the blog and twitter. Make it easier for yourself.
Have a great day!

I’m a fan, keep it up!
Hi!

Keep up the blogging
I am so ecastic you’re continuing your blog, Sarah! As a huge fan of yours, I promise you that you will not regret your decision. I check your blog and twitter multiple times throughout each day.
thanks 4 keepin the blog(: hey everybody i was wondering what everyone’s favorite sarah dessen book was because i have no idea which one 2 read next! they all look good!(:
i loved keeping the moon because it had a great message. that summer was a great novel about going through hard times in life, and lock and key is about starting over and finding your way through difficult times.
srry that was random(: im so happy i have a great idea 4 a book….does anyone else like 2 write YA?
My name is Reeya Hoosain. I’m like licking crap off my arm and kissing potatoes. You see ma’am I amputated his limbs and since he’s already black and he has furry skin because hes like chubaca and stuff…I buried him in the ground :33 And thats how my boyfriend became a potatoe.
I love your blog and have for years. I’m so glad you’re going to keep updating us with it! Rainy days, naps, and good books is a divine combination.
Your books rock Sarah. You have inspired me to become an author.
Have fun reading the book-write more of yours though soon!
I think you shouldn’t because you talk about things other than books. It’s not a blog about books it a blog for gossip!
I liked your someone like you book
but now your not really coming up with any more tennage romances and tenage lives are you?i miss those kind of books
any new ones out yet?
If you like teenage romance and tennage life you could also read books by the author of Lurlene McDaniel she reminds so much of Sarah Dessen because the write mostly about the same things except in Lurlene McDaniel books there IS romance, but it’s mostly about death. But they are AWESOME!!!! You should try to read them also.
just started blogging hope for more, Sarah!!
Sarah,
Your books are AMAZING!!!!!!! My friend told me about them and I love them. You and Lurlene McDaniel are 2 of my favorite authors becasue you guys write about tragedy, love, and so much more.
Hi! I’m doing a school project where you have to read three books by your favorite author… Of course i chose you! But its really hard to find information on you… so i have a quick question! What are your favorite books you like to read and the authors! Also where you went to High school and college if you did go that is! Thank you!
I am absolutley in love with your books Sarah Dessen. I think you should continue with writing and also with this blog too! Your one of my favorite authors and thanks so much for writing such amazing books!
