I also really liked this. I'd love to read more. My comments: The opening for me is unnecessary in referencing to anti-other things. I feel the tone would be more in keeping with what follows with posing the question (of how people come up with seemingly questionable attitudes) and beginning with th...

I just read the latest version (as the first has been removed). I really liked it. A LOT. I'd love to read more. You can PM me if you want with more. The only thing I would bring up at this point is that I'm not convinced this is just for MG or even MG. If it is, it's pretty sophisticated - thought ...

For me, the hardest part is the final 3rd or 4th. I have to step away from it and then, in order to get back into it, I have to get myself in from the outside and outline and, at that point, it is often a hurtle.

This thread has so much good information and feedback on it. Thanks for having the courage to post it and start this conversation. I am always growing a little bit at a time, so my process evolves. I am also picking up my writing again after a hiatus (yea - glad that's over :-D) and finding that I c...

Margo,

How did you find the/make the art for the covers for your Amazon.com books? Did you work with other professionals on editing, formatting, layout, marketing, etc. too? Would love to learn more about your process. Your success is very inspiring!

I Love Parties!

My biggest fantasy would be for my stories to be produced as Hollywood movies and get to advise and be on the set!

Hi Margo! Still catching up with the news around here, but saw THIS about YOU! Congrats! You inspire us all!
Wonderful wonderful news!

Doug, not necessarily. My characters are listening to music in a number of scenes. I thought it would also be fun to include a playlist with this particular work. Exploring this. But would change it if needed. No problemo. But, like many writers, it is kind of fun to share what segues when it feels ...

You guys are wonderful! The support I've had from you here has been/is awesome. And I'm back. And very glad to be back.
There is nothing like kindness!! It's the best no matter what you or I may be going through. Thank you all.

Thanks Trixie!

Thanks!!
