Would love to see a conflict scene! I haven't read Stein on Writing but it sounds fascinating - might see if I can chase up a copy :)Rachael Harriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16764930101064527321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3380793708805406109.post-30060039534195777662010-09-02T17:54:14.977-04:002010-09-02T17:54:14.977-04:00Fantastic advice, Rach!

Half way through the second chapter, I had to put the book down and write. I was so inspired. I hope the rest of the book will be as inspiring.<br /><br />The first version of the first draft was seriously awkward. The second version was also awkward. The third a little bit less awkward, but things were still forced (WriteOnCon version), and the latest version is less awkward, but not entirely without it. Maybe I can have another stab at this and see if I can loose the awkwardness completely. I know my characters so well by now. Maybe I'll even have Eva stand up to Meg in the first chapter!Tessa Quinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12619129838476851241noreply@blogger.com
