Judge wisely whether or not that story requires a strict whipping into shape or a laxed, laid-back attitude. Which would make the writing more fun for you?

You asked how do you get started when you first what to begin your novel? And Maggie has the perfect answer to the question.

I think unless you already have a foot in the door or have an AMAZING novel, it's really hard to get an alternative structure novel published. Plus, I think it would probably be a lot harder to write. But, this is also coming from someone that hasn't written a whole novel yet!Witless Expositionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07455282931743006892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6557330505101892876.post-78115043534031119472010-06-25T07:05:56.203-04:002010-06-25T07:05:56.203-04:00That's pretty much the structure I use.

Doesn't mean it doesn't happen, but I haven't had to rewrite the book at least. :)<br /><br />Enjoy your trip!Stinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11415189347501942340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6557330505101892876.post-41024271898202146962010-06-25T06:50:37.518-04:002010-06-25T06:50:37.518-04:00Hi guys.

I'm leaving for Mexico next Saturday so it's likely that I will do the same thing next week.sarah darlingtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04196799264698933899noreply@blogger.com
