Stephen King - I would love to pick his mind. Listen to the story behind Stephen.
Nora Roberts- She has the ability to heat things up!
And singer-songwriter Dolly Parton - This lady sings about what life really had been like in her time. Through her music, I have learned so much about life.

Don't sweat the small stuff girl, all the assignments you have written will help you someday. Be patient, for just like a fine wine even you will only get smoother with age ;)
