Quite looking at all the teenage authors out there. You are you. You are who God created you to be. He has a plan for you, He gave you a talent. Don't destroy it. Tell Him how distressed you are. Give Him the burden, talk to Him. He is listening. Write when you can. Let Him do the rest. You might be published at 22 not 16. But that does not matter. Be who God created you to be and be happy for those teenage authors out there.

But, it's also possible that you just THINK you want to write. There are lots of things we CAN do, but don't get any joy from. You might need to do a little soul searching.Shannon Dittemorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07757781231485815876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024721400572472213.post-84738138482379341322014-10-20T10:31:26.748-05:002014-10-20T10:31:26.748-05:00I didn't.

And though I've made every attempt to give my characters their own voice, mine is still very clear throughout this thing. I think you'll see me in it.

"Hey, this character was supposed to be important and never showed up again." "Hey, we were supposed to like her, but..."<br /><br />Then after all that I definitely have a ton of bloopers to change, and things like "Is the emotion good here?" "Is this setting okay?" "How's the description?" and of course my research stuff. Lastly I do more of the sentence fiddling, but honestly I kind of tend to lump that in with these other few things. :)<br /><br />Also, can I just say I'm really excited for your next book?! I'm really curious to see how different it is from the Angel Eyes trilogy... ;)Amanda Fischernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024721400572472213.post-20518299454384831142014-10-17T09:52:50.135-05:002014-10-17T09:52:50.135-05:00I'm on my first story ever, so I have never do...I'm on my first story ever, so I have never done anything like this.
