Wait......Laini!<BR/>Where were you when I was thirteen? Wait... that was only a year ago, so I guess that's okay. No, realy what I want to say is THANK YOU! I, too, have read your blog constantly ever since i was fortunate to read about Blackbringer on Shannon Hale's blog... you're advice is wonderful, and an answer to a very discouraged, distressed prayer. I'll definitely stick to your advice, for I have now realized where I went wrong. :) Thanks again! You are an inspiration to any person lucky enough to read any of your writing, whether it is your specatcular book or your fun blogs. <BR/><BR/>*Lainey*Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21997604.post-12380965649922981672008-07-03T20:17:00.000-07:002008-07-03T20:17:00.000-07:00I love your blog.

And this:<BR/><BR/>"It can't do anything to you, but you can do everything to it." <BR/><BR/>I'm hanging that above my desk. It's so easy for me to forget who is the boss of whom!<BR/><BR/>Another fabulous post. I'm sorry a bad email helped inspire it, but I'm PROUD of you for staying away from the sofa & those tempting crappy movies. That takes GUTS. You're gonna kick Silksinger's tuchis!

I love it when you write about writing -- and your advice is always applicable to other things in life, I think.lily greenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11790565106805718589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21997604.post-14260426075256797752008-07-03T14:17:00.000-07:002008-07-03T14:17:00.000-07:00Yes, I'm actually 13! ^_^Osh Kosh B'gosh, Laini.

Even finishing short pieces is a great training exercise for finishing longer ones. The sense of accomplishment is AMAZING and makes all the hard work worth it!Laini Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14064837312936707024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21997604.post-61325581584285701392008-07-03T10:51:00.000-07:002008-07-03T10:51:00.000-07:00I always read your blog, and i've never left a com...I always read your blog, and i've never left a comment before. But i really loved this blog, so i wanted to say thank you.<BR/>I'm fifteen and have always wanted to be a writer, but i can't ever finish anything. I get ideas for stories constantly, and i always start one and get bored and so i start another one and, AAWWW!<BR/>This blog inspired me to finish something.
