Re: Excerpt -- YA Fantasy
I really like the comparison between Rachel and Ayla, especially with the image of the bus. I remember how cool it was to sit in the back of the bus, mostly because when we went over potholes everyone flew out of there seats. Of course, kids who misbehaved sat in front. I also like the idea of a mod...

Re: Big Mouth Blues -- Contemporary YA -- PLEASE HELP
I really like the concept of your novel, especially that you emphasize Kacey's strength and that there's a reason for her father's hatred. However, I don't think you should say what that reason is. Before I read I was thinking "What could it be?", but when you said it was because Kacey was...

Re: What are you reading now?
One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich, actually I'm reading it for my World Lit. class. I do most of my pleasure reading during the summer. Best book I read over the summer was Mistress of the Art of Death by Ariana Franklin.

Re: Getting Motivated
Whenever I need to get motivated I usually listen to some music. What I tend to listen to, though, is something that I feel like has a connection to what I'm writing at the time. For example, what I'm currently writing has memory and murder themes so what I listen to is Grim Goodbye by Red Jumpsuit ...
