Even when he was only a freshman, I (and many others) knew he would go big--and that his writings would cause so many readers to question, to think bigger, to discover more about the world and themselves.<br /><br />I've had the privilege of getting to know Sage (the protagonist in Split) and to see her and the story grow over time. It's an INCREDIBLE story and I'm anticipating an ending as strong as the characters themselves. You inspire us all, Jacob!Cynthia G.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4513702670120363707.post-19849690936827434692010-06-16T12:42:10.917-04:002010-06-16T12:42:10.917-04:00Hi everyone!

I love how you advised us to stop texting and start writing. I gleam a lot of comfort from reaching out to writers electronically, but you're right--you have to get the writing in. Thanks for the sage advice, and I'm glad that Inkwell is there so we can all connect.Heather Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06699360166269376285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4513702670120363707.post-6262673445418795002010-06-15T20:21:10.341-04:002010-06-15T20:21:10.341-04:00I've read some of jacob's work and he is d...I've read some of jacob's work and he is definitely someone to keep an eye on.mshatchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06308916014310536449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4513702670120363707.post-15462101193804102872010-06-15T20:18:16.525-04:002010-06-15T20:18:16.525-04:00Wow--I love Split's premise!

I love the idea of a vampire/witch hybrid with split personalities - I'm dying to read it!<br /><br />I think Jacob makes a good point about the taboo subjects in YA. This is one I struggle with the most. I work with teens, and I know they are much more sophisticated and savvy than most parents give them credit for. <br /><br />I'm heading over to Inkwell now!Joanne Brothwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11277805693436251841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4513702670120363707.post-38204204335036483252010-06-15T11:51:00.795-04:002010-06-15T11:51:00.795-04:00Great interview.

I so agree with you that social networking is good, but can be distracting and take away from writing time if you're not careful.<br /><br />Like you, I'm still working on taking the plunge to set up a blog.
