Anyone ever switch writing genres and decide it's time to let the pen name go and be yourself for this one? Or vise versa? That's where I'm at. Hopping from romance to a YA dystopia. Outline in progress.
@Jordan_C_Adams @Vermilion_Edu Please go away. We have perfectly competent teachers at Pennridge who are not in need of your assistance. We will not make this easy for you.
@klhicks912 YESSSSS!!!! Sometimes I think it’d be better to have someone else do it who’s a bit more removed. Doing it yourself is like writing a simple non-biased summary of your child’s personality. Impossible.
@klhicks912 I took courses on teaching writing, but that meant we were authors first and then workshopped each other’s work. I won’t say it wasn’t valuable (and very enjoyable), but you can create your own workshop community (here, for example) for a lot less money.
@klhicks912 It was one, and the. I finished a book this morning that gave me ab idea, so as of 45 minutes ago, two. This is why I can’t get anything done.
Just spent my day off finishing this chilling young adult #dystopia, #TheLastCuentista, with its refreshing Mexican American flavor. Had me in tears thinking about what we do and don’t value in America society. And it made me want to #write stories forever. Thank you @dbhiguera
@klhicks912 Yessssssss! Handing over any kind of art for another to interpret and transform in a way they believe is marketable is stomach-twisting Oy terrifying!!!
@jhernandezbooks Even when it’s not heavy I have a hard time separating. Tranitioning in and out of writing is often even harder for me to do than actually put my clothes away. But to transition out before my kids get home I try to walk or shower.
@Thomass48180729@iamyesyouareno Wow, people like you are literally why I stopped being a moderate and went full Monty minority ally. Judgy-meant-to-look-reasonable racism is one of the most disturbing kinds.
@rayarvx It’s kinda true. It feels more natural when the couple aren’t obsessed 100% of the time with each other. And kind of more rewarding when they get together.
@MeenuPillai5@slow_laurus Sometimes I wonder if I’m the only person who finds this movie painful. I watched it bc it’s so beloved by so many, but it just felt like a big kick in the pants to both women and little bookshops. Always wondered if it would have been as successful if their roles were reversed.
@poppygibsonuk Love this question. I think the answer's different for everyone. For some the label creates a thing you can better see and understand. You can also benefit from being part of a community. But I can see the definition being detrimental for some. Personally I'm in the former group.
