Loretta Lopez: Our #1 Writer Under 19
I don't even like fiction but even I would buy a book by Loretta Lopez, one of the 18-year-old winners of this year's Scholastic Writing Award. She was on that NPR show The Takeaway (blech) this morning and she is awesome.
If you hate listening to the radio, you can read her here.
She is in motherfucking HIGH SCHOOL.
I am useless.
Eh, she's young and filled with energy and talent! Time will have its way with her too, don't worry.
But you can spend your hours by trying to outdo her! GAME ON, LORETTA LOPEZ.
awwww. She makes this old Tapatia proud.
It concerns me that you do not like stories?
I can't! My brain doesn't work like that!
My bedroom radio doesn't get WNYC FM so I listen to The Takeaway every morning and OH MY GOD.
I BLOODY LOVED THAT STORY. The ending was Joycean, just perfect.
I severely need to up my game.
