What I Like About You

  (Total of 4 seasons) What I Like About You is a popular TV sitcom, about two sisters, Valerie "Val" Tyler (Jennie Garth) and Holly Tyler (Amanda Bynes), that was originally featured on the WB television channel, but now can be seen on ABC Family and Teen Nick. Holly always gets into a bit of trouble, but her loving sister gets her out of it - most times. For people who like the classic Amanda Bynes-style comedy, Full House, and other shows like it, I'd suggest you check out What I Like About You if you are over the age of 12. Watch What I Like About You: Weekdays at 9a/8c on ABC Family Weeknights at 8p/7c on Teen Nick and Weeknights at 10p on Teen Nick http://www.thewb.com/shows/what-i-like-about-you

No, I like lots of different novel, middle grade, YA and adult. I like Neil Gaiman very much. I also like to read history especially military history (I'm a boy after all!) > 3. were you always good at writing? I always liked writing. I'll leave it up to the judgement of my readers as to whether or not I'm good at it. > 4. how do you get started with writing a story (as in, how do you start > developing the story, how do you get inspired for it) Waggit started out based on real life events. The ones I'm working on now come straight out of that weird place called imagination, but you have to know what you want to write about be...
