Ally's Diary
Mini Blog: deadline meYou know that movie Despicable Me? Well, right now around here it's all about Deadline Me because the first draft of Heist Society 2 is due on Wednesday. Now, the usual disclaimers: it's JUST a first draft. We're still a long, long way from finished. The book itself will probably be out next summer sometime and I won't start GG5 until Heist 2 is finished because Heist 2 comes out first. Also, we don't have a title. We don't have a cover. And I can't really say what it's about just yet because all that is subject to change based on what my editor thinks about it. Did that cover everything? I hope that covered everything. I will simply leave you with these, the two theme songs for HS2, to tease and tide you over.

yaaaaay!!! allys back!! i luv being the firt comment btw
tat leads me to believe that there is a rich person involved (like hale or arturo tacconne) and theyre in egypt. and they dance. and on your twitter thing u said that in heist society 2 there was a ball (formal dance) scene. ( or at least in ur first draft that is) so now im really excited! oh yea, im sorry about the deadline thing. i hav had to wake up at 4 in the morning to finish projects and barely feel like i have time. i kinda get it.
ps, im not a stalker i just love what you do. and you too. ur my fav. author
Egypt and Fred Astaire? Hmmm...*ponders
that sounds fun with the deadline but think of ur fans loving what ever u write
Hey Ally! I love your books (both HS and GG)! I really hope that Hale's in the next hs because hes my favourite character. Anyway good luck with your deadline!
=^._.^= Allanea <3
OK so is Hale going to tap dance his way onto Broadway or are they going to be staying at the Ritz hotel and Walk like an Egyptian is like dead give away that something to do with Egypt will be done in the book maybe an artifact or something. I think it would be super funny if hale just started to break out tap dancing in the middle of a heist as his way to think through a problem, because some people do do that or something to that sense. Can't wait to read the novel thank you for being an amazing writer.
hehe oh man! the mental picture of Hale tap dancing is priceless! makes me think of Donald O' Conner! :D LOVE THEM BOTH!
This post is very timely as I actually spent a good chunk of my day off today rewatching all 3 of the Ocean's films because I had Heist Society on the brain. I am seriously dying for Heist 2! And I fully approve of Egyptian Tomb robbing/Robbing the Egyptology department at the British Museum/Maybe I'm just saying that because I approve of the Bangles as a general rule... And hey if it does involve stealing Egyptian Artefacts you can always just rip off Lara Croft for a title and call the book "Tomb Raiders" (Joking, joking ;) )
DUDE. What if Ally like combined HS and GG to make some epic novel? Like if Zach and Hale were tap dancing TOGETHER?! and then Liz had to figure out who stole some Egyptian artifact, and then Cammie started doing an Egyptian Dance while Macey and Kat had a sick face off and Bex intervened and then..... that's as far as I got. It would be pretty rockin.
that would be really cool!
okay, isnt terry benidict in oceans like your exact image of arturo taccone?!?!?!?!?!
I mean absolutely no offense to any other fans, because I feel mostly the same way, but your comments made me laugh.
You girls are some amazing people from what I read. Wish my friends were as awesome as you guys! lol
As for the blog post, I'm not going to make any assumptions because Ally just LOVES to throw us off the scent. Both songs great, cannot wait!!
Do your best Ally.
yeah i agree- i wish my friends were as awesome as me too!
I totally flipped when i saw puttin' on the rits posted there because we sang that in choir last year. just thought everyone should know :)
By the way.....Ally, you are totally amzing!!!!
I love fred astair. & tapdancing. & this puttin' on the ritz. it's a good song, with great dancing. :)
YES! I love Fred Astair and the Bangles! The Bangles are my favorite band and Walk like an Egyptian is one of my favorite songs! Can't wait for Heist Society 2 Ally!
So funny, my mom and I were just talking about the song Walk Like an Egyptian when I pulled up your cite and saw it on ther! Thanks so much Ally!
Take your time Ally! I still can't wait for Heist or GG5, but I know writing is hard. I just wanted to ask two Q's thouh.
1. When you do a draft, do you type it or write it out?
2. Have you read Hex Hall by Rachel Hawkins? I love it and it's very cute and addicting!
Ooh, I like the new SPAM preventing question.... what is Ally's last name?
Darn it, I just can't seem to figure it out! ;)
But anyway, I just wanted to wish you luck on your deadline!
Love, Hannah
Hey Ally take your time and you always figure things out soo its gonna be ok like Bob Marley said DONT WORRY ABOUT ATHING CAUSE EVERY LITTLE THING IS GONNA BE ALRIGHT!!!!!
LOVE
Morgan
Will HS come out as a paperback????
I wanna find out so I know if I'll just buy the hardcover coversion. .
Oh my gosh I LOVE 'Walk Like An Egyptian'! It's such a catchy song, and I listen to it all the time on my iPod when I'm running. And I did a tap dance to 'Putting On The Ritz' last year!!!! :D (Just felt like sharin' that with ya)
And I feel like a criminal correcting an author's spelling, but isn't it spelled 'Despicable'?
Anyways, good luck with meeting your deadline!
I cant wait for hs2 but i cant help but wonder... will visili romani be in it again???????
OMG-I was totally wondering the same thing! I think Visili Romani WILL be in Heist 2 cuz at the end of Heist Society Kat got a letter and painting from him...I wonder if she'll find out who he is in Heist 2...
Great luck on the deadline...I know the book will be awesome...they always are!!!!!
OHHHHHHH the first song was great! I love him! he's a great tap dancer, I used to do tap when I was little but never like that! I really hope this means the characters are going to learn how to dance in egypt or something of the sort :)
Good luck with the deadline, you gots this!!!
Ally you rock, im soo excited for your next book and i think that the fact that i have to wait for it makes it even better!!!
ok,stolen mummy/egyptian artifact heist that somehow ties in with broadway and tap dancing? that makes my brain spin just thinking about it...
i know itd'll be an awesome book, good luck ally! nice song choices as well.
walk like an egyptian...walk like an egyptian... way oohh way oohh!
wait! new idea! the crew will time travel to 1980's egypt and then 1920's braodway and then they'll tap dance across... wait, no that doesn't make since.
Yay! So excited!:D
Can't wait for Heist 2!!!
I also can't wait for GG5!!!!
I hope you relax some too with your deadline:)
Good luck!(but you wont need it because your such an awesome author;)
<3 u Ally!
Christi
Ally,
U r an awesome writer!!!! I love ur books. Can't wait for the new ones. I love both songs and enjoyed listening to them. Thanks = )
Heehee. The bangles band member Michael Steele (Susan) is my cousin. That's pretty cool. (well my great cousin but ya know)
Yesssss.... I heart the Bangles!!! Well really I heart 80s music! <3 Also Fred Astaire is awesome! :)
Any tap dancing while tomb robbing is definitely fine with me!
i love 'puttin on the ritz'!! its one of my favorite songs!! i had to dance to it in dance camp. i dont know which song i like better though. walk like an egyption?
love it!!!
my motto last year was
" walk like in egyption and dance like a chicken"
Niiice.
Can't you just imagine Angus or Hamish(or both) tap dancing? I can't wait for HS2.
It'll be amazing.
And I hate deadlines.
Ick.
Hey ally! I love thought of the crew going to Egypt! My grandparents live in Cairo so I know how awesome it is there. I used to tap dance too! Also, when is GG5 coming out in paperback? Love your books and I know you'll do a great job with HS2!
hmmm does this mean they are going to Egypt???? hmmm i would assume so..but everyone knows what happens when you assume!!!!!!
LOL
<3julie
