Now I want to fall in love with my home again. <br />It's good that your writing has changed and you are happy with it. We spend so much time inside our heads doing what it is we do, it's wonderful if it brings you joy. Much luck.Carolynnwith2Nshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18394998702410764388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6904356705735120070.post-86233457989018803442015-04-28T14:40:05.806-04:002015-04-28T14:40:05.806-04:00Hi Carolynn, waiving at you :-)

And that you've found your main character's voice: WOW!<br /><br />Since I've been working on my current MS, my writing has completely changed in very surprising ways. And it's the happiest thing I've ever done…so I guess at this stage improving is my main focus.<br /><br />But I like surprises -- at least, good ones. ;-)<br /><br />Crossing my fingers for you to find your dream home after you sell your house. :-) <br />Lilachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08150029612208267342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6904356705735120070.post-64402398374544520052015-04-26T15:44:25.314-04:002015-04-26T15:44:25.314-04:00I want to sell first, then find the dream home.

To be published, writing what you love, is a privilege. To make money, writing what you love, is the dream.<br /><br />Carolynnwith2Nshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18394998702410764388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6904356705735120070.post-52233968243265677332015-04-25T20:55:29.041-04:002015-04-25T20:55:29.041-04:00How exciting to be finding a new home, Cw2Ns!!

Just think of all the new painting opportunities you'll have *wink*.<br /><br />I've tried a few things: short stories - not for me, I have too many words, romance - not for me, I keep wanting to add too much non-romance plot to the story and not add enough emotion, straight crime - just didn't seem to gel with me. So now I write cozies (which I love to do) and I hope that shows on the page. Am getting close to sending my first queries out into the world so I guess I'll find out.AJ Blythehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04529233142099749005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6904356705735120070.post-1874561312729413372015-04-25T19:53:58.376-04:002015-04-25T19:53:58.376-04:00And my question to you now is, what is the most co...And my question to you now is, what is the most comfortable to write, the one which feels right. And the question, let's say, in two years, is which is the most successful AND do you stick with the successful or the one which feels right. Maybe they are one in the same.Carolynnwith2Nshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18394998702410764388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6904356705735120070.post-22931461789690571772015-04-25T10:35:38.142-04:002015-04-25T10:35:38.142-04:00I actually think (hope) my writing changes with ea...I actually think (hope) my writing changes with each new project and by that I really mean IMPROVES. Having said that, I think I know what else it is you're hinting at, and it's about writing something outside of one's usual wheelhouse. Different genre, POV's etc...right? <br /><br />If so, been there, done that, and continue to search for new ways to tell a story.<br /><br />So far:<br /><br />First book - coming of age novel set in Alabama, timeframe late 60's<br />Second book - struggles of married couple living in rural NC mountains after loss/tragedy, timeframe late 1920's<br />Third book - hard crime, set in Mississippi, 1970's<br /><br />And two of those in first person POV, and one in 3rd with alternating POV's.<br /><br /><br /><br />Donnaevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09026536210749494257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6904356705735120070.post-52650479543063868382015-04-25T08:10:19.307-04:002015-04-25T08:10:19.307-04:00I don't know Megan.

For writers who turn out the same old stuff all the time, I'm thinking that adding a little more than salt and pepper is a good thing. Although, if everybody likes you pasta sauce why mess with it. Ha, me and my analogies (it's my tried and true).Carolynnwith2Nshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18394998702410764388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6904356705735120070.post-53775220259063122162015-04-25T01:56:34.847-04:002015-04-25T01:56:34.847-04:00Hi Carolynn(2ns)!

Stopping in after reading the list on QOTKU's blog. <br /><br />My writing is constantly changing, but I do think that perspective really does play a part in why writing changes. Somehow freshening up for a ball leads to walking down the grand staircase of a spaceship. I like the tried and true of writing. I like knowing what works for me and what doesn't. But I don't think dependability is necessarily the equivalent stagnation.Megan Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00752842865397799428noreply@blogger.com
