I don't usually do posts like this. But I found this really awesome post by Kristin Nelson and wanted to share :-).
The article talks about the dedication and effort it takes to get past that 20,001 word. Sometimes it's great to hear about another person (in this case Andrea Cremer, a published and successful YA author) who hits that wall like everyone else--and crashes through it.
I think the most important thing to take from this is: Keep writing! It's worth it. Just buck up, and write the crap out of that mid-section! Because you love your characters. Because you love your story. And because the world deserves the chance to get to love them, too :D.
Happy writing,
Ninja Girl
Thanks for sharing this. :)
ReplyDeleteGlad you liked it, Rachel!
DeleteGood words!
ReplyDeleteYes, I really enjoyed the article :).
DeleteI so needed to read something like this right now. Am starting a rewrite actually and it's to tedious thinking about rewriting a book you've essentially already written! Thanks for the interesting read :)
ReplyDeleteGood luck on the rewrite, Lan!
