I've heard great things about both of them, so I'm looking forward to it.<br /><br />I love story epiphanies!

But then it's all worth it when we write a great scene or have a breakthrough.<br /><br />I've only seen a few eps of Supernatural - it was entertaining, but very creepy and I'm kind-of a chicken :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5720082623464094535.post-47837495629323852272014-02-06T15:41:09.678+00:002014-02-06T15:41:09.678+00:00He loved her like a sister, he said it himself.

I am trying to keep it in mind. Forcing myself to write especially lately brings little to no results. <br /><br />The JK Rowling thing is interesting. I always thought that they would get together but in the end i think it worked how it was. <br /><br />Have a good week. <br /><br />Angel Leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15765640482447411245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5720082623464094535.post-60102125524486911362014-02-06T00:35:25.623+00:002014-02-06T00:35:25.623+00:00I agree that writing because you want to is key.

Write because writing is something that you love, and hope that in time other people will come to love your words too.

I mean, it's mind boggling. She's a writer like any writer with the same doubts, but when she questions it, it's almost as if she is questioning certain people's childhood, they are that enmeshed in the Harry Potter universe. <br /><br />Personally, I think she might be better off keeping those comments to a close group of friends and not going there in interviews.

I had a couple of rejections last month, like you positive ones, but they still knock you a bit.

I'm about to release a new NA contemp romance which is very different - in tone, plot, emotion - than the contemps I already have out and I'm super afraid that people will compare them, expecting me to write more of the same. I don't know, maybe I'm just over thinking it. <br />"Giving up is never an option." >> right there with you my friend! :DJuliana Haygerthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18028869545185578038noreply@blogger.com
