Translating that into text and making it believable is something I haven't tinkered with, but perhaps this question will encourage me to try it out. Getting out of ones comfort zone is a good thing. Great question!<br /><br />PS. I love the new design. It rocks!porcelainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16319725871404517308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6557330505101892876.post-55326997905240537732010-03-28T22:22:21.811-04:002010-03-28T22:22:21.811-04:00Another great question this week!

It can be exausting, but it helps keep the story alive too. The other thing I found out is that too much editing can actually take away from the writing goal. This week, I decided to loosen up on the editing and simply write. I know that some of it won't be used, and that's okay. What won't be used helped me to get what I will keep.<br />As for YA, do you read it often? Have you noticed how things are worded/character interactions? What about hanging out at a library and eavesdropping on some teens conversations? Sounds weird, but it's helpful if you don't have one at home!<br />For me, I'm sticking to one project unless I absolutely have to set it aside to take care of something else. Like another projects for an upcoming competition.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6557330505101892876.post-14362228193955453742010-03-26T23:54:02.531-04:002010-03-26T23:54:02.531-04:00I'm having trouble with this too.

The characters are teens so there's a lot of flirting and a few cheesy lines.<br /><br />So I guess...make it feel real. Don't rush it if the characters aren't ready. If they are, sometimes attraction just happens, both in books and in real life.Bookish in a Boxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08959198758826103615noreply@blogger.com
