I wish there was magic to make it jump from my head and just be on paper haha. I have been so paranoid trying to find out how many words I need it to be, how do I get it published, when do I send it off, and other such questions but I had to laugh at myself because I am not even finished with the book yet! You have inspired me thou! Even if a company never picks up my book and says that they love my story, I won't care. As long as I get to the end of this and it is something that I love, which so far it is, I will be happy. Great post by the way and if you do happen to find that one magical thing, let me know!T.J.

Although I wish I had stuck around and chatted a bit more,I think I was a bit overwhelmed and sort of still surreal seeing people from the internet. But i learned so much from the classes and it was awesome.prerna picketthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06207620652405474672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1225588878619457421.post-6846051852485993072013-05-13T10:15:49.703-06:002013-05-13T10:15:49.703-06:00I'm with you.

I usually am curious about the trends myself, just to know what's out there. But just because HIstorical YA is getting big, doesn't mean agents or editors will like mine. <br /><br />I think it's a delicate mix of knowing the market, and constantly working on improving our own writing. I can have a great idea that an editor might love, but if the story isn't told well and my writing is full of rookie mistakes, knowing the trend isn't going to matter. :)Stephscohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06328839483008086049noreply@blogger.com
