I still have a tiny bit of a buzz - and I'm very glad I get to share that with you guys, since IRL no one understands why its a big deal at all!<br /><br />Whispering: Hand's pretty much back to normal now, thankfully. Which is good, as I need to get to work on the next book...<br /><br />Isabel: I usually scribble out a rough draft first and then type it up, yes. I do it bit by bit - normally once I get to 10 handwritten pages, I stop and type up. It gives me an extra drafting and experimenting stage that I find really helps. Once something's there on the computer screen in black and white it's somehow a lot harder to mess around with, radically change or delete it. I've tried to eliminate this stage before, and draft at the computer, but it just leads to much more messing around later. <br /><br />Don't worry if you don't get teary when you're writing, Isabel. I know some wonderful writers who don't react to their own work that way. It's a quirk that I have, and some writers have, but it doesn't mean that you're not able to write scenes every bit as intense and emotional as anyone else's. OK? :)Zoë Marriotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01275368005359548134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4098049071459822748.post-27815321184995581442011-10-03T15:21:20.900-07:002011-10-03T15:21:20.900-07:00YES!!

It's what makes it worth it!<br /><br />Also, do you always hand-write your books first?? I never knew that...<br /><br />P.S. I've never really cried over something I've written before, which upsets me. I'm sure I eventually will, though. And since I still haven't finished a book yet, there's no telling whether I might not cry my eyes out at the ending. ;)Isabelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11342147057396470743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4098049071459822748.post-37929044671432603802011-10-03T15:17:43.578-07:002011-10-03T15:17:43.578-07:00wow, seeing your note books all pretty and filled ...wow, seeing your note books all pretty and filled up makes me feel really inspired... *sigh, I hope one day soon I too will have lovey notebooks filled up with a story. <br />Big congrats on finishing!:) How's your hand feeling?whispering wordshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00817741839344053531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4098049071459822748.post-51342649833199630882011-10-03T15:00:24.210-07:002011-10-03T15:00:24.210-07:00Yay, I love that feeling, one of the best in the w...Yay, I love that feeling, one of the best in the world. <br /> I am so happy for you, exciting times ahead and I can't wait for you to share it =]AmieSalmonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11902800785882682491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4098049071459822748.post-7148878886147658582011-10-03T12:55:09.367-07:002011-10-03T12:55:09.367-07:00Megha: When you have a story that really inspires ...Megha: When you have a story that really inspires you, you'll find the time to write. It's like you can always find the time to watch that amazing TV show, or sneak a bite of a chocolate bar, or whatever - you love those things, you almost can't stop yourself doing them. So don't worry about it for now. We can't all have a story we're passionate about all the time. The universe would probably explode :)Zoë Marriotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01275368005359548134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4098049071459822748.post-77151791752747762472011-10-03T12:51:03.962-07:002011-10-03T12:51:03.962-07:00I wish, but it's the old thing again - no insp...I wish, but it's the old thing again - no inspiration. Also High School is like - BOOM! It's been a really busy start and we're getting a lot of homework and everything so I've hardly got time to do anything WORTHWHILE because somehow the time flies when I'm doing procrastinating from doing my homework. :-(<br /><br />I might start sitting in the school library and writing, but you know how fun it is to hang out with your friends...Megzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08664110589451892977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4098049071459822748.post-49962727357378295042011-10-03T10:41:49.349-07:002011-10-03T10:41:49.349-07:00Thanks, Megha!
