In high school, I went to fiction writing workshops and met real writers who encouraged me and cool guys who wrote, too. I majored in English at BYU and discovered editing, but I also got married and started having babies. I kept my writing dream alive through a couple of decades of being a full-time mom. When my youngest son went to school, so did I. I enrolled in Vermont College's Master of Fine Arts of Writing for Children and Young Adults. It's a low-residency program. There I was mentored by some of the best writers in the business. I wrote TAKEN BY STORM as my creative thesis. It took me three and a half years of rejection and pulling it apart and reshaping it before I finally met my editor and signed with Razorbill. Hooray! Happy ending. Well, happy beginning.Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12767644921005073798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4463486463691568705.post-26043462841664422782010-02-05T01:54:53.796+05:302010-02-05T01:54:53.796+05:30I want this book so bad! xD

What is wrong with this story? How can I fix it so it isn't bleck? My ideas usually start out pretty lame. But the more I revise and rework it, I HOPE the better it gets. I'm excited to work on the Jane Eyre-mets-the Terminator, too.

I love sci-fi and fantasy with strong historical influence, too. I'm also rewriting a time-slip novel. It's going to end up something like Jane Eyre meets the Terminator--but my assassin is way hot. I originally wrote it as an adventure for tween boys, but the assassin turned out too hot to waste on 12-year-old boys!Angela Morrisonhttp://www.angela-morrison.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4463486463691568705.post-54244125439154846342010-01-31T01:27:40.131+05:302010-01-31T01:27:40.131+05:30Question: Are there any other genre's that you...Question: Are there any other genre's that you are interested in writing ?<br /><br />+2 Follower (new)<br />+3 Question<br /><br />seriousreader at live dot comLinda Hendersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06496464041656744569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4463486463691568705.post-3483045740130464622010-01-30T21:32:46.266+05:302010-01-30T21:32:46.266+05:30Oh, Marion. Let me clarify the "facial scars....Oh, Marion. Let me clarify the "facial scars." Beth's got awful acne--"a face full of zits" in her words. Nothing her dermatologist has prescribed has helped. I'm not sure why marketing calls her acne "facial scars." I figure we can all relate to zits, spots, pimples--whatever you want to call them--most of us have them to some degree. Even one nasty breakout is demoralizing. Beth's continually fighting it all over her face. Beth is a classic anti-hero--well, anti-heroine. I think that's why readers love her so much.Angela Morrisonhttp://www.angela-morrison.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4463486463691568705.post-24377404416728295412010-01-30T21:19:29.756+05:302010-01-30T21:19:29.756+05:30Deltay, Muse on vacation? Go with it!! As writers ...Deltay, Muse on vacation? Go with it!! As writers we are constantly pouring out everything we know, love, learn, dream, experience into our work. Our muses need nourishment. Julia Cameron, in THE WRITER'S WAY--the best book about writer's block in the universe, suggests taking our muse or inner artist on a date every week. Something fun, crazy, simple. But it should be just you and your artist. Then force yourself to write morning pages--three pages of long hand first thing in the morning. Dump everything in your brain. You'll be amazed what begins to come out. <br /><br />For mini-blocks--you get stuck midstream--try taking a nap to get your brain back into slower, more creative rhythms, taking a walk or a drive, or putting on some music and dancing around the room. <br /><br />Freewrites (see WRITING DOWN THE BONES by Natalie Goldberg) are also great for getting our muse back to work. You can get the basics of freewriting on my liv2writ blog on my website.Angela Morrisonhttp://www.angela-morrison.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4463486463691568705.post-48788241943228947822010-01-30T21:08:11.950+05:302010-01-30T21:08:11.950+05:30Bookaholic . . . stop in at my website and you can...Bookaholic . . . stop in at my website and you can hear more of their recording of "Beth's Song" than is on the trailer.
