What if I do every single thing he says not to? What if my POW is all wrong? And 200 pages on the characters before you start the story? I certainly didn't do that! Wah! Much less terrifying here, I think.tone almhjellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05213144552658031984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21997604.post-12031338475221959792010-05-04T06:20:05.842-07:002010-05-04T06:20:05.842-07:00Thank you, Laini!

I've been reading my way through Timothy Hallinan's Finishing Your Novel (in between working on mine) and just had to check back here to thank you for sharing that. Wow, so helpful. This will go right up there for me with your Not for Robots essays and Cheryl Klein's essays as being my go-to online places for writerly inspiration.jennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11836433216709149353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21997604.post-89644366869231558742010-05-03T20:40:09.067-07:002010-05-03T20:40:09.067-07:00So guess what I've been reading hungrily for t...So guess what I've been reading hungrily for the last few days... And guess what I've been doing when I'm not reading... Writing! As in: getting closer to finishing!<br /><br />Thanks so much for the link and for perhaps the nudge in the rear that I desperately needed.Suzannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11347734179126050902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21997604.post-64671494345203781862010-05-03T12:15:34.916-07:002010-05-03T12:15:34.916-07:00Thought I should say that although I have every in...Thought I should say that although I have every intention of going and reading, I can think of no reason that I wouldn't want to come back <i>here</i>! Heaven forbid! : ) On a side note, I, as a pusher of really good books, successfully converted another friend into a Laini Taylor fan. I'm proud of this accomplishment.Jennifer Morian Fryehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03331899710605393958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21997604.post-70373062515564425542010-05-02T08:53:46.299-07:002010-05-02T08:53:46.299-07:00You're welcome, Timothy (Tim?)!

I put a lot of work into that section and it means quite a bit to me to know that people find it useful.<br /><br />I'm eventually going to do a restructuring, bringing into the FINISH YOUR NOVEL section the guest threads in THE BLOG CABIN. In one, CREATIVE LIVING, artists of several kinds (but mostly writers) talked about how they integrated daily creative activity into their lives, and in the current one, PLOTTING VS, PANTSING, a bunch of excellent novelists talk about whether they plot in advance or write by the seat of their pants, and why. Presently up is Rachel Brady, whose FINAL APPROACH was one of my favorite mysteries of 2009.<br /><br />CREATIVE LIVING is the top link on the right in the BLOG CABIN section. Some people wrote really enlightening stuff.Timothy Hallinanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00551263887774445511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21997604.post-35615015558090641532010-05-01T11:08:05.790-07:002010-05-01T11:08:05.790-07:00If you're lonesome, you're welcome to pop ...If you're lonesome, you're welcome to pop over to my blog! :) A couple of us have been discussing the NaNo Effect. We'd love to hear about how a NaNo once killed a story of yours and how you were able to avoid that Effect this time around. :)Jessica Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12210850155571710389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21997604.post-55667680863001136192010-05-01T05:07:51.921-07:002010-05-01T05:07:51.921-07:00Thank you, thank you!

If it sounds writery, it's probably weak. Good writing lets the story shine, not the author's superb word choices. Love. Needed to hear.
