A wonderful editor reminded me this weekend that I shouldn't limit myself to thinking I'm writing for a smaller audience who will understand my mythology. WRITE FOR THE WHOLE WORLD! The learning came about due to a simile I'd written about 'sinking boats and fisherman' lore. I'm a fisherman's daughter. Lesson learned: Pay closer attention in my writing (and my life) to my assumptions about mythologies and history. They may not be shared or understood by everyone. The good news: I have10 days (okay 9 now) to revise my novel to incorporate that feedback and invite EVERYONE into the world of PAPILLON. Did I mention I was moving in 10 days???? This makes me only slightly more batty than usual. Happy Monday Writerlies & Friends, TartanFrog UPDATE: MADE IT TO THE NEXT ROUND! WOO-HOO!!!

Hey Writerlies, Here's hoping many of you will be able to come for this Thursday's writers' group 'cuz: Looks like this will be the last meeting held in my Morris Street Boheme-Pad. Along with celebrating Richard's novel taking 1st place prize, we should discuss the future. . . Will writerlies travel to the lake house? What are the options? Possibly other houses or reinvading a coffee shop? Bring your thoughts and your writing, of course! -TartanFrog |
