And it should be *reading* those writing advice articles, not like I'm writing the articles to get inspired!

My fave is the onion face. ;)<br /><br />Trust your gut about the chapter. Sometimes I don't write for weeks because I know something's wrong. There's no use "pressing on anyway" and getting ideas I know don't aren't working written down. Nope. I immerse myself in research, TV, and writing advice articles until I find the Big Idea that will get inspired. (BTW, this article did it for me today: http://www.helpingwritersbecomeauthors.com/relatable-characters-backstory/ ) Read it, it's awesome!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07735576044552810103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5871196542873255795.post-48356229992882972522016-09-03T12:21:06.415-06:002016-09-03T12:21:06.415-06:00I'm with the sassy pants people :)
And I hope...I'm with the sassy pants people :)<br /><br />And I hope you come up with a Chapter 2 you like better. I think I can relate. There's a scene in my WiP for which I've been needing to come up with something different for a long time, and I had no idea what to do with it. I'm almost through a first draft of it, and while it needs a lot of work, it's at least something I feel like I can work with.Mike Schulenberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07150989011176710430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5871196542873255795.post-8541515164722514302016-09-02T18:59:57.576-06:002016-09-02T18:59:57.576-06:00Sassy pants, definitely!Sassy pants, definitely!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05445891419258558500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5871196542873255795.post-4841799052148973492016-09-02T14:24:39.219-06:002016-09-02T14:24:39.219-06:00I love the bus picture!

One particular book I started (you read some of it) I got about 3/4 through and had to quit writing it. I had this creepy guy called "soul man" that was following my heroine around. I scared the socks off myself and decided not to finish the thing. I figure those types of things keep us writing--we can consider them writing exercises that broaden our author muscles.

Earlier this summer...I like the sassy pants best. <br /><br />Earlier this summer we were at the fair and we went through the 4-H buildings. Which we often do when we go to the fair, but it seemed like this year there were all these unusual chickens with all sorts of unusual feathering. Like these interesting plumes on their heads or ones that were wearing legwarmers. They were all pretty cool--like this guy. But I'd just never seen such a variety of chickens before. It was interesting.Suzihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16502606950280751205noreply@blogger.com
