What I have in common with my characters

January 24, 2011 by Ally Carter Leave a Comment

Hey everybody, today I give you a blog…in bullets.  Specifically, bullets that list the ways in which I am like my characters.

*  Like Cammie (and Josh), I vastly prefer waffles to pancakes (really, why someone would like pancakes when there are waffles in this world amazes me.)

* Like Kat, I am used to being the only girl at the table.

* Like Cammie, my eyes tend to change colors depending upon what I’m wearing.

* Like Anna Fetterman, I once gave myself a bloody nose while opening a can of Pringles.

* Like Cammie, my mom was a very influential teacher at my high school.

* Like Cammie, I have spent a lot of time on a working ranch.

* Like Kat, I am short.

* Like Liz, I am blonde.

* Like Rachel, I love peanut M&Ms.

* Like all the GGs, I frequently crave creme brule.

* Like Kat and Cammie, I grew up in a family business.

* Like Kat, I go a little crazy when I’m not working.

 

And now I’d better get back to it,

Ally

    I’m like Cammie because I blend in and I’m normal. And like Kat because I’m the only girl at the table.

    This post is awesome! I realized I have a lot in common with the characters, too!

    Like Cammie, I am a chameleon (there are people in my science class, which has only nineteen students, who still don’t even know I exist). And I’m working toward a family business.

    Like Liz, I love science and math and read the student handbook and am a bit of a klutz.

    Like Kat (and Ally), I am used to be the only girl and most of the times the youngest. And I have a best friend who’s a boy.

    Like Bex, I sometimes enjoy hitting people (but not hard enough to hurt them or anything.)

    Haha, Thanks Ally. I kinda figured the M&M thing, since you put in in the books so many times. I think that those little things that you put in your books is so cute. It’s like you’re telling us more about you in a slightly coded way.

    I can’t believe that we all have so much in common with the characters !!
    I can’t wait to read GG5!!!!
    I’m kinda like Cammie cause when I start something I can’t stop thinking about it until I finish it!

    Can’t wait to read the heist society books I’m getting them soon!!

    I just wanted to thank you. For writing, for your imagination and for choosing to share it with the world. I read a lot, and your books are precious gems to me. I read the first GG book as a high school freshman, and now Im a freshman in college, still enamored with each book.
    Thank you!!!

    Ummm ok since everyone seems to be doing it…
    Like Cammie I tend to blend in.It can take 1/2 hour for someone to relize I’m sitting next to them.
    Like Liz I can be a kluzt(its really embarasing)
    Like Beck and Macy I dont et anyone boss me around(only if its worth the effort though

    Um, they’re probably not a whole ton relevant to Cammie’s story right now, thus the absence. Plus, Cam’s head might explode if she had to deal with more than one Blackthorne Boy at once. =P

    I think its cool how you tell us how your like your characters. I think it is also great that you let us post what we think it makes me so happy to voice, in this case write about my opion. I also pefer waffles instead of pancakes and peanut MM’s are delicous. Who could disagree? Anyways I am like Zach because I am someone who people don’t know what to expect next… I am like Hale because we both are morning people… I am like Cammie the Camelon need I say more. Ally I can believe how much we have in common, but we have more differences… but you have so much in common with your fans I know people who have read your books an like the same things and well different things too. But all I can say is wow! Its just amazing! πŸ™‚ Any who, I just wanted to tell you that you are a wonderfull author who writes great, super awesome, spyreffic, books that us reader very much enjoy to read at least I know I do.

    Hey Ally! K, can I just say that I thought that whole Anna Fetterman with the pringles thing was just random? I didn’t think you could actually do that! You have to be pretty strong (and the pringles can has to be pretty stubborn) in order to do that!
    I love love love your books and cant wait for Heist Society 2!!!!!

    I am like Kat cuz im short, Liz cuz im blond, Rachel cuz i LUV peanut MNM’s, Bex cuz I luv adventure( I want to be a spy or cop), and Cammie cuz I blend and people don’t notice me (people i have gone to school with for 2 years ask me if im a new girl! not joking!),and Zach i tease and pull off the “I know something you don’t” look!!!!! I LUV LUV LUV Zach!!!!!!!!!However,I like pancakes way better than waffles, because they are fluffy and soft, and you can eat pancakes when you get your braces tightend cuz the don’t hurt you teeth. however cream cheese stuffed french toast wins any day of the week!!!!!!!

    My friend borrowed my copy of Heist, and I started to reread it again tonight. When I opened the book a piece of paper fell out. She had made her own version of the Visily romani card! Thank you for giving me something to share with my friends!
