I have glitter I can use shamelessly in this book and not feel bad about spreading it around! <br />Tami<br />JacksonvilleAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343238.post-48743062288078044692010-10-30T09:07:39.800-04:002010-10-30T09:07:39.800-04:00*sigh* I just got another rejection yesterday.

Not enough of a unique hook...I think this would be the perfect way to take my frustration out, having permission to really wreck something.nightsmusichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05984119792540771870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343238.post-42230120846042411282010-10-29T10:50:16.558-04:002010-10-29T10:50:16.558-04:00Wow, that's so neat!

There's been so much baggage attached to writing that getting to go wreck something wordy sounds like a good way to get rid of some of it.<br /><br />Also, I think handwriting is very important for kids. My kids are learning cursive and writing on paper as well as "composing" on the computer.Charlene Tegliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01483186891214783397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343238.post-91711848432314361992010-10-29T07:10:28.309-04:002010-10-29T07:10:28.309-04:00Leslee wrote: Because of your wonderful, incredib...Leslee wrote: <i> Because of your wonderful, incredibly creative writing advice, I am going to start a book that I have been thinking about for a while.</i><br /><br />That's terrific, Leslee.

Once you give yourself permission to write, you've won like half the battle. I think it's also wise not to dive in NaNo until you're ready.the authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03220786472896283714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343238.post-53572929733356049972010-10-29T07:04:42.250-04:002010-10-29T07:04:42.250-04:00Jessa wrote: Spilling glitter is another good way ...Jessa wrote: <i>Spilling glitter is another good way to get over perfectionism.

I don't think I can deface a book even with the author's permission. EEK! <br /><br />I also wanted to say, THANK YOU for being so supportive to your readers! Because of your wonderful, incredibly creative writing advice, I am going to start a book that I have been thinking about for a while. I am not joining NANO officially. I don't think I am ready for that. But I am ready to stop saying "I won't be any good, I can't do it" and all the other negative thoughts that run through my head. I apparently am a pantser so I am not going to feel bad that I can't be organized and plan it all out. Thank you so very much, I can't wait to get started!<br /><br />I am also taking some advice from Lilith Saintcrow who gives everyone permission to create bad art. She let me know that it is okay to be bad at it at first but that if you keep at it, you will improve. :) I think that has also kept me from what I want to do.Lesleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02234874804632459265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343238.post-31721682899086029062010-10-29T03:08:45.980-04:002010-10-29T03:08:45.980-04:00Yay, wreckage!

If I have scissors, I try to make things tidy and squared off and... well, perfect. Which is terrible for that initial burst of creativity. So I just rip and tear. I even rip the background cardboard before I start just in case I thought perfection might have ever been attainable.<br /><br />Spilling glitter is another good way to get over perfectionism. Loose glitter is impossible to control, just like creativity run amok. Once it's out, you'll find it everywhere.Jessa Sladehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09569827979530923930noreply@blogger.com
