Submitted By: Silva Shado Submitted Comment: Thanks so much for the in-depth article about writing a novel one scene at a time. It's a very helpful way to approach climbing the mountain. Thanks! If you use it in a story, I hope you let me know--I'd love to read it. Submitted By: {suser:janicew) Submitted Comment: Makes me really think about my writing in a whole different way. I find myself checking out the back covers of those novels! Very informative! Writing is hard enough and I believe in doing things as efficiently as possible, while not losing the creativity. Back covers, huh? There was a letter about blurbs not too long ago. We always appreciate the feedback, thanks!
