I've got a few particularly imaginative siblings, though...perhaps I shall have a fellow writer yet! Unfortunately, all I have related to writing from my family right now is odd looks and teasing...but we'll see. I just have to be choosy about what I share at the moment. I've learned really quickly NOTHING ABOUT CHARACTERS.

Right now I have two brothers writing a book each, I'm writing a book, we have a book (or should I say series) that the whole family is working on, and my Mum used to right children's stories for us when we were little. She was so good that she had a big publisher following her around for years wanting her to write or them. We talk about our books all the time and I can't tell you how many ideas my family has given me or my story. I don't like to think how awful and dry it would be without their help. I am blessed with a great family of writers and of really cool people. Thanks or the post Alyson, I can totally relate!<br /><br />HPHis Princesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05475369272547689946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024721400572472213.post-53101853046257386122013-10-31T10:56:26.980-05:002013-10-31T10:56:26.980-05:00It's always fun to see readers get excited eve...It's always fun to see readers get excited even when they're your friends.

My sister used to write (we would sit back to back on holidays and write, write, write), but the interest faded with her. My real encourager though is my best friend who I've known since kindergarten and sees all those things you mentioned before Allison (seeing I don't live at home anymore, my friends see me more than my parents). I love it when she nudges me with little hints that she's excited to hear more about a certain character or that she can't wait to hear where a certain story is going. It's amazing, like Arende said, that someone is waiting for your writing. It really helpsAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15317792300616098592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024721400572472213.post-15097725372538574132013-10-31T07:29:04.218-05:002013-10-31T07:29:04.218-05:00You are certainly lucky to have a family of writer...You are certainly lucky to have a family of writers. Yes, my family does think I'm weird whenever I tell them a new story idea.<br />Though, I did find out that my dad is trying a nonfiction book (not saying what it's about), but it's nice to know I'm not the only person that writes in my family.Samuel Deckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08117949231936267303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024721400572472213.post-87980486504935869412013-10-31T07:13:07.343-05:002013-10-31T07:13:07.343-05:00That's really cool that your family would supp...That's really cool that your family would support you like that.

I follow your blog for...well, I don't know anymore how long, but Stephanie and Jill definitely made the right choice to let you talk here!<br /><br />Right, to the point now ;-)<br /><br />My family isn't a writing family at all... I even doubt if they know I am writing. I do have a friend whom which I share some pieces of writing sometimes. She doesn't write herself, but when I wrote a first draft in April (yep, I know you shouldn't show first drafts, but this was my first full one. Doing it not is better, actually ;-)) I found that out with my second and third story) I wrote that story in a blog. Only she was able to read it and she gave some comments. And when I didn't continue the story, she asked me: Are you going to write some more?<br /><br />You know, it's just the idea someone is waiting for your writing. And that's really exciting!Arende de Withttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08143950359368928929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024721400572472213.post-61444406438435855272013-10-31T06:06:48.851-05:002013-10-31T06:06:48.851-05:00Nice idea!:)Nice idea!:)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03009019168330743367noreply@blogger.com
