Hopefully I won't leave confusing remarks - that's always the worst when you don't know what judges are trying to say!haleighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17495639119775924940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1201357221625717192.post-8516837036004643582009-05-16T13:06:00.000-04:002009-05-16T13:06:00.000-04:00Kelly!

(Or did I just admit to being completely insane? lol)<br /><br />First novels are always a learning process :) But remember, I wrote 4 full-length fanfic novels before I wrote NWTR. My first one was terrifying. I left it online just so I could point to it and see how far I've come!haleighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17495639119775924940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1201357221625717192.post-28195426964070002372009-05-13T09:47:00.000-04:002009-05-13T09:47:00.000-04:00I've heard of that show and thought it sounded fas...I've heard of that show and thought it sounded fascinating. I'm glad you're able to break things down so well. I just got some contest results awhile back and the judge kept going on about action-reaction units. I was like, what? what is that? I don't understand. blah, blah, blah.<br />LOL! <br /><br />This is more helpful for me.

I really never thought in this way AT ALL! But now I can see ways that it IS in effect in my book and places where it NEEDS to be. <br /><br />This really is Karma 101! I love it. I really like when characters get into the push/pull, stop/go sorta dance. <br /><br />And I cut you a HUGE break on the writing of your first novel. Girl, my first full length is in the garbage. Not kidding. I know people say they put them under their bed but that's not good enough. That book has no right to see even the dust bunnies under my bed!lol. <br /><br />I'm rewriting my NaNo book right now(Can you imagine that a book I wrote in 19 days isn't perfect? SHOCK!lol.). This is going to help so much!!<br /><br />And as always, I am in awe of your talent. You weave together such complex and intricate plots.<br /><br />Do you want me to call you Cam now?lol. I think that name is so perfect for Romantic Suspense! Haleigh can be for that big fat check when they buy your book.:)Kelly Krystenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15540403635154064801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1201357221625717192.post-47018816204014674562009-05-10T17:28:00.000-04:002009-05-10T17:28:00.000-04:00That's really interesting - I forgot Ben can't do ...That's really interesting - I forgot Ben can't do anything himself. he's forced to only react, and I think that will make the reader sympathize with him. it also allows you to really focus in on all those micro things -- I can't wait to read more of his story!<br /><br />(and thanks :)<br /><br />halhaleighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17495639119775924940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1201357221625717192.post-62030056570999417102009-05-08T23:32:00.000-04:002009-05-08T23:32:00.000-04:00This topic really gave me a lot of food for though...This topic really gave me a lot of food for thought. I'm fascinated by the action and reaction concept and, as you know, looking at it in an extreme way for writing in the deep in the POV of a hero who is a ghost. Most of the time, all he CAN do is react and your thoughts on "reacting on a micro scale" and the observations he will make have me thinking of all sorts of ideas to explore. In a way, the loss of his senses (touch, smell, etc.) heighten his awareness. <br /><br />I can see how this topic is right up your alley - - I've always been amazed at how you manage to keep track of complicated and converging threads in your plots. :)Melissanoreply@blogger.com
