Retroactively #shook by "The Bell Jar." (audio) I'd liked it well enough that as the narrator launched into a brief author bio I scrolled the 'net for more by the author, disappointed to find no other novels. Then, the bio ended, revealing Plath's fate.
Like I said...shook. #sad
@MariaJauthor Q 4: Benefits: accountability to do the writing. Drawbacks: accountability to do the writing! Seriously, though, sometimes I hate the pressure I put on myself to undertake writing so much in a month, but I know that my writing improves with more writing!#FriSalon
@DeborahKlee@MariaJauthor I know my character is going to grow over the course of the novel (victim to warrior mentality), but I also know there will be tragic elements and of course the subject matter is heavy enough. I'd hope to inspire hope for those enduring hardships, if I can't "uplift".
@sg1marzipan77@MariaJauthor@NaNoWriMo I originally read your genre as a speech affectation (the word, "ya" for "you"!) I was like, yup, Maryel is an American, alright! LOL!! :) Good to "meet" you!
@TFiredrake@MariaJauthor UGH I know this feeling...I put a lot of pressure on myself to meet the deadlines I set, and that's the one thing that tempts me to turn down NaNo some years!
