Jill, that sounds like a great idea to try just to see if you like it or not.<br /><br />I was recently in a book launch party where a different author was guest posting about her book and trafficking in general. Even though my WIP is not exactly like Megan Whitson Lee's "Suburban Dangers," learning about this novel has encouraged me to keep writing what I am writing. <br /><br />teensliveforjesus.blogspot.com Sofia Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03703884443937255154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024721400572472213.post-39678619954866188012017-06-27T00:17:43.000-05:002017-06-27T00:17:43.000-05:00I've been kind of inspired lately, which is sa...I've been kind of inspired lately, which is saying something. The other day, I got together with my friend's mom who is a writer. We're both going to attempt Camp NaNoWriMo this July. It was really fun hanging out and talking about our writing projects! We were able to give each other advice and encouragement. I've never really had a writing partner/mentor like this, so I'm really excited about it!!Taliahttp://forhisglorydotblog.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024721400572472213.post-38183645958984957732017-06-26T20:07:24.888-05:002017-06-26T20:07:24.888-05:00I agree.

I recently read "Since You've Been Gone" by Morgan Matson, and her writing encouraged me to try writing in the first person. <br />Also, I've been inspired by my family and friends. They provide me with humorous anecdotes and lines for my WIP and also their personalities help to better develop my characters.
