I feel like if I have the Lord on my side, the book is just going to fly across the screen as I type.Jenni Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14340454147439103595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7814771751990061325.post-38215929936391009552009-08-11T19:31:15.711-06:002009-08-11T19:31:15.711-06:00I so agree with Rebecca. I feel the most learning ...I so agree with Rebecca. I feel the most learning is allowing room for improvement. Isn't that just like real life, though? We don't like to be told we are wrong. We don't like to be criticized. We don't like to be judged.<br />It is a whole new world out there, being a writer. We need to develop tough skins so that we can grow. (We need to face the criticism, the judgment and admitting we are wrong by changing things in our books.) Just like real life, maybe? Having our experiences smooth us out as we go along?<br />But, as in real life, living the gospel helps us to stay on the straight and narrow. What helps me with my writing a good book is turning to the Lord in that, too!<br />:)Elizabeth Muellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11447552226485618096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7814771751990061325.post-9539162772269855852009-08-11T12:33:40.621-06:002009-08-11T12:33:40.621-06:00Yay Kristy!

Good book...Yay Kristy! Love the plug for research! <br />Good book=brainstorming with my uber-creative hubby, after the initial concept is sketched out he gives me the "neh" response.

Be willing to listen to readers. Be willing to admit it wasn't perfect the first time. Be willing to change what isn't working.Rebecca J.
