BUT I have one in the works that has been keeping me interested and excited longer than any of my others-I truly think (and hope!) I'll finish it. :)Nataliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00315660089925645214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2008803196079197549.post-25259816909922576142015-02-23T07:49:35.920-06:002015-02-23T07:49:35.920-06:00Naomi and Hamlette,

And Naomi, I love that coined word: "dis-encouraging" --- I'm going to be borrowing it. ;) Rest assured, you will not find me reviewing any "dis-encouraging" writer books here. ;) (Such items should come with warning signs attached!)

He said, “Read, read, read. Read everything -- trash, classics, good and bad, and see how they do it. Just like a carpenter who works as an apprentice and studies the master. Read! You’ll absorb it. Then write. If it is good, you’ll find out. If it’s not, throw it out the window.”Hamlette (Rachel)https://www.blogger.com/profile/11961916847426233995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2008803196079197549.post-19581681476393445292015-02-22T10:47:21.724-06:002015-02-22T10:47:21.724-06:00Hamlette, thank you for your lovely encouraging wo...Hamlette, thank you for your lovely encouraging words! I'm really enjoying my current project, writing 1000 words a day, but yes... it's still kind of undercover. ;-P<br /><br />Yeah, change is important!<br /><br />I agree. Some people say you absolutely NEED books about writing to be able to write a good book, but I tend to disagree. I have started reading writing books, but they really dis-encouraged me, so I just stopped. I know, the best thing is to keep on writing!<br /><br />~ NaomiNaomi Pittshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13932777444665441104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2008803196079197549.post-25252603039042602212015-02-21T11:10:11.196-06:002015-02-21T11:10:11.196-06:00Ooooooh, your new WIP sounds awesome! I know what...Ooooooh, your new WIP sounds awesome! I know what you mean about not sharing too much about it yet, though. Can't rub the sparkles off! <br /><br />Change is essential to all stories. Without change, there's no story! Right? Good for you for figuring that out already. Took me years to see how important change is to stories.<br /><br />I think I was in college before I read a book about writing. Some are helpful, and some can leave you feeling like you're an idiot -- I avoid the latter, hee. Books on writing can be useful, but not as useful as actually writing. The more you write, the better you get at it :-)<br /><br />A thousand words a day? Look at you go! That is awesome.Hamlette (Rachel)https://www.blogger.com/profile/11961916847426233995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2008803196079197549.post-53930689409098101012015-02-20T11:52:07.521-06:002015-02-20T11:52:07.521-06:00HAHA, Emma.

'write what you don't know about what you do.' I have no clue who said it, but whoever did say that... it's true. And yes, haha, writing about things you don't know is... I mean, wut's the point of that?<br /><br />~ NaomiNaomi Pittshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13932777444665441104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2008803196079197549.post-13533563389466293372015-02-20T11:18:37.255-06:002015-02-20T11:18:37.255-06:00How fun!

Especially about writing. Great answers, Naomi! And some great advice and tips. As usual. :-) <br /><br /> Write things you love. AMEN. That is SO important, I've been discovering lately. Also write about things you know. That helps me a lot. Who was it that said, "Write what you don't know about what you do", or something like that? It's true, in a weird sort of way.<br /><br /> Love this! :-)<br /><br /> ~EmmaEmma Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00215503772898813587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2008803196079197549.post-58151143663102170102015-02-19T12:36:59.352-06:002015-02-19T12:36:59.352-06:00Thank you, Sarah Margaret!
