Bad Idea, Good Result

I did it. That thing they tell you that you should never, ever do. That dumb, egomaniacal thing. I looked at my reviews. Not professional ones (I don’t even know if there are any professional ones – I wouldn’t know where to look). Just the ones on Goodreads. Why? you ask. Why would you do

Writing Business, Part V

(Part I, Part II, Part III, Part IV – all available for your reading pleasure. You’re welcome.) And today? It’s all about completion. We must finish the things we start. Say it with me. Finish the things we start. Can I hear it again? Finish what we start. This works on a few levels. Please

Hello Again

Hi, Kids. I’ve been post-dating my Writing Business posts, because I was TOTALLY UNPLUGGED for a WHOLE WEEK. I know. It scared me, too. But as it happens, my life continued very nicely without the internet. (This is true.) And now we’re home from the Wilhite Family Vacation to the Second Happiest Place on Earth

Writing Business, Part IV

(Part I, Part II, Part III) So I had all these thoughts of making this entire post a big dialog. Then I wrote it. It was lame. And trust me, lame dialog is death. So I erased it. You’re welcome. Instead, we’ll skip all the cleverness (that wasn’t) and just talk about dialog. Whew. Dialog

Writing Business, Part II

Writing Business, Part I is over here. Good morning, class. Today we discuss Choices. And Consequences. (*cricket chirps in the silence*) Okay, but really? Stick with me here, because this is where the What comes in. We established in the last post that I think the most important part of a story is the Character.

It’s Writing Business (Part I)

Once upon a time about six weeks ago, I taught a couple of days’ worth of classes to 7th and 8th graders, which I sort of already blogged about. It was a great deal of fun. I love honors students, remember that? So for the next few posts, I’m going to act like a Real

Worthy Book

I told you I’d report back if yesterday’s book was worthy. It was. “When You Reach Me” by Rebecca Stead. I don’t want to tell you what this is about, because I don’t know how without being spoilery, and I really don’t want to give anyone wrong ideas. But it’s AWESOME. I ate it up
