Well, my curse of getting sick right before a book release has struck again.
Over the weekend, I had some kind of flu thing. Basically all I did on Friday was sleep and groan. My 5-year-old took a picture of me so, as she put it, she could remember me in case I died.
Fortunately, I pulled through just fine, but I didn’t have a chance to prepare a post for today.
So instead, I’d like to ask you a question. The May issue of the Go Teen Writers newsletter will be talking about the idea of “blooming.” I’d love to highlight some of you in a feature. If you’re interested, leave a comment below answering this question:
What writing technique or skill did you used to struggle with that you now feel you’ve finally gotten the hang of? Too many adverbs? Passive characters? Plot lines that lose tension after page thirty?
Oh, and one last thing…
