Arthur A Levine Says it Better than I
A Snarkling brings this blog entry to my attention and I think everyone should read it. There will be a quiz.
Wow indeed! He says it better than anyone. (Fantastic as this is, it is further proof that EVERYONE needs a proofreader: "it's" instead of "its" and "far be it for me" instead of from.)
This was great especially while writing, rewriting and during a couple occassions of writers block. I found his words to be encouraging and very informative and now i have fresh eyes and will be more in tuned to what and how i write my characters and story. There has always been a part of me and even a part of what i aspire to be injected into every character i've written, but Levine really made me want to rethink, rewrite and improve.

Now if I could just get my mother to stop saying, simular.
Had to bookmark that site. Thanks.
That was AMAZING! Thank you!
I'm still 'high' from reading it so I can't think of anything intelligent to write at the moment.
But it was awesome. Just awesome.
I have goose bumps.

FANTASTIC!
Thank you, Miss Snark.
Wow.
I'm speechless as well.
Thank you.
Mr. Levine's presentation made me go back and examine my novel. I didn't want to, but what he said was true true true.
"I am a daughter of Chinese immigrants."
OMG! I thought Arthur A. Levine was a guy!
