[tweetmeme source=”stickynotestory” only_single=false http://rebeccaenzor.wordpress.com/] I know I’m not the first (or the last) person to say that writing is cheap therapy. It really is. I would say for pen & paper writers especially, because it feels like you are really ripping at the paper sometimes, but typing this up I realize that I’m really pounding on […]
So I know I’ve kind of been missing since last week’s post about Hitting the Wall. But that’s because the next morning I woke up and I had so many ideas to write! I knew what had to be done to Chapter 3 of Fie Eoin (I cut the entire first scene), I wrote 3000
I’ve done it. After a good solid run of organizing, typing, editing, storylining and writing I’ve finally hit the wall as far as most things writing-related go. I’m exhausted mentally. I’ve been trying all week to get the third chapter of Fie Eoin to my writing group, and while I read and cross things out and
I’m pretty sure that everyone who writes has that one phrase that they rely on and always turn to in every story. It’s kind of like having that one character that you kill in every story (what? I’m the only one who does that?). It’s the fall-back phrase, or something that rings so true
30. Final question! Tag someone! And tell us what you like about that person as a writer and/or about one of his/her characters!

7. Do you listen to music while you write? What kind? Are there any songs you like to relate/apply to your characters? I listen to music while I do everything. Drive, work, eat, write. Music was my first love, and I love just about all types of music (not so much heavy metal or rap

5. By age, who is your youngest character? Oldest? How about “youngest” and “oldest” in terms of when you created them? My youngest major character is Mikayla Morgan, who is six years old at the beginning of Lane’s Girl. My oldest major character is… um… I’m not really sure. Once they become old enough I
