I'm finishing my first YA novel, but blogging about it (as I intended) is pathetic. I privatized my other more-frequently-read personal blog to post on my less personal, more sterile and forever boring "writers" blog. Blah. <br /><br />Anyway, I want to be part of a local writer's group that meets and critiques and such. Could you point me in the right direction? I'd be most obliged. (When the breastmilk vampire is not feeding, of course!)<br /><br />Gracias!Jacquihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13607961541091240021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18394742.post-42778743928427282422009-02-20T10:01:00.000-07:002009-02-20T10:01:00.000-07:00Hold the Mayo!

The day before the Cordy blog thing I told my friend Miri~ "hey I'm gonna make a fake blog and name my self Cordelia!" She said "Sue did that already!" Then I was looking at Query Shark and thought to myself why couldn't I send out a bunch of letters and write the book later? Seriously, Sue, you and I must have been separated at birth.<BR/><BR/>Good luck! :) And Happy Birthday!Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06027862831421242012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18394742.post-16655958642377396272009-02-19T20:09:00.000-07:002009-02-19T20:09:00.000-07:00Here is a post script: reading you just fires my l...Here is a post script: reading you just fires my little style center, and after I got all fancy sassy with you, I went upstairs to take my shower and had the second chapter of a book I've been wrestling with forever just kind of pour right out - hey! She was YOU. And it was fun. And I'd lost most of it by the time I finally got downstairs and dressed, but it was a break-through. So, see what your birthday did for me?

You can cut and refine later.<BR/><BR/>If you can't even do that, write what you thought you wanted to write about. Describe it in detail. Start with "What I want to write about is..." And then write...and I do mean really write this..."What I meant to say was..." and go from there. I've seen this crazy thing work with people from age 10 to 70. If it doesn't work, you can tell me I suck. Then again, if it does work, you're on your way.<BR/><BR/>You've already proven you can do it. Grab your ring.

I don't have any idea what that means except when I read my horoscope it's DEAD ON! And I did a whole freaking week on MEEEE during the week before my birthday so for you to barely mention yours? Seems a little low key, to me. Hope you had a great day. <BR/><BR/>PS Who do you think you are? A president? Celebrating your birthday on the Monday before your birthday which also just happened to be President's Day? Whatever. (LOL) (I was kidding.
