I will have to look that up :) And yes, it's great that independent, self-guided people have so much information at their fingertips so that we can teach ourselves the things we can't go to school for. (I would literally go to school for almost everything if I could. I want to learn it all :D)Paula Stokeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05554982750210319316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5196925486463112727.post-2415904554888104772017-03-25T16:59:20.296-07:002017-03-25T16:59:20.296-07:00I miss you too!

My goal for this month was to read 4 books and write 120 pages, and I'm going to end up with 5 or 6 books read and over 160 pages written :)Paula Stokeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05554982750210319316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5196925486463112727.post-77500989858924439842017-03-05T12:59:43.743-08:002017-03-05T12:59:43.743-08:00This is an awesome post!

She talked about it in the foreword for the 10th anniversary edition of Pachinko, and it made me want to get much better at writing and craft. It was also overwhelming reading about all the work she did to write the way she does, but an inspiring kind of overwhelming :D Will be looking into something like this in the future!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03928847125287404681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5196925486463112727.post-31725838349489778822017-03-02T16:14:54.353-08:002017-03-02T16:14:54.353-08:00AGH!

I had a dream last week and woke up with a full fledged plot for a YA book and it didn't have any the issues of my previous book.<br />But of course after writing the first 20 pages on a single weekend, I stalled because I wasn't getting the MC first person voice right, so I think I just need to take the Initiate and just keep going because eventually I feel like I'll get it but I probably won't know until I have her interact with more characters and get more scenes fleshed out. I miss you tons!!!Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04767523797495694824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5196925486463112727.post-80560782864468950362017-03-02T03:20:17.151-08:002017-03-02T03:20:17.151-08:00I'm glad to hear you're finding a way to g...I'm glad to hear you're finding a way to get your writing joy back!Pilihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05235628363081574896noreply@blogger.com
