Another one I love and frequently recommend is James Scott Bell's THE ART OF WAR FOR WRITERS. And if you feel a lull coming on, try yoga for writers--I blogged about it today and I'm not making it up. It's a ten-minute workout designed by a yogi/writer just for writers to boost their creativity and get them to the page.Linda Grayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00464543671077860561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3804696485095159380.post-416012729468315902012-06-15T02:32:26.611-05:002012-06-15T02:32:26.611-05:00I love how if I leave a comment on your blog, it&#...I love how if I leave a comment on your blog, it's automatically labeled "brilliant."

When you're coming off of a gigantic writing high, sometimes you need a break so you don't get sick of the characters and their stories. You can always work on other books when you're taking a break. I like to be at the point where I'm not writing the book, but the book is writing me. If you're forcing yourself to work when you're not feeling it 100%, the story can suffer.Carrie-Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05810154378449825641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3804696485095159380.post-82941027463763203042012-06-14T11:25:58.014-05:002012-06-14T11:25:58.014-05:00What's with all the different fonts and sizes?...What's with all the different fonts and sizes?

Yep, I definitely gotta stop by more often so I can pick up that fabulous label.<br /><br />I'm kind of a pantser who starts with a loose outline and then lets the more specific stuff come slowly as I write. And I do write slow. I think that's just how my brain works. If I rush things, then my stories suck. So yeah, in my case, slow is good.Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12399082789777816445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3804696485095159380.post-36471307395517109862012-06-13T08:34:27.140-05:002012-06-13T08:34:27.140-05:00so excited for you and kaleb! i thought i'd b...so excited for you and kaleb! i thought i'd be a great plotter, and i guess i could be, but i'm not so great at days and days of brainstorming. i'm sure it'll be super, as soon as i let myself go. i hope in 90 days i have an awesome draft to show for it! christyerica and christyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13074820593371226159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3804696485095159380.post-42191324398711316932012-06-13T07:57:27.627-05:002012-06-13T07:57:27.627-05:00I recently attending a workshop with Michael Hauge...I recently attending a workshop with Michael Hauge. It changed how I will now plan a book. It was an amazing talk. Unfortunately, only some of it is available in his most recent book.Stinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11415189347501942340noreply@blogger.com
