What works for you is the "right" way!<br /><br />Donna,<br />Stifling the rules is the best way to go! Good for you, girl!<br /><br />Cheryl,<br />Lots of people like first person just fine. It's often personal preference. Kristan, who I mentioned in this posting, does an excellent job with first person. Can't wait to see you too! I can't believe it's TOMORROW. We've been pals for what seems like so long. We are way overdue to meet in person! Call me when you get in!!<br /><br />I saw Aunty in the lobby tonight and had a grand old reunion! AC, we'll always have that kitchen in San Fran!Marie Forcehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00550719567520289405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2802601138878132017.post-32278128622987736702009-07-14T14:37:37.789-04:002009-07-14T14:37:37.789-04:00There are all kinds of things I didn't know ab...There are all kinds of things I didn't know about romance novels. Not writing in first person was the biggie, but I'm sure there are others. I didn't learn the rules first, I just started writing the books I wanted to read, which is probably what we all do. <br />Can't wait to see you tomorrow!!!!Cheryl Brookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11464377381132807409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2802601138878132017.post-6428255034503061372009-07-14T09:59:51.515-04:002009-07-14T09:59:51.515-04:00The only important rules are those you intend to b...The only important rules are those you intend to break.

But only for curiosity.<br /><br />About "how to write" workshops--I frequently advise coming-along writers to discover THEIR process and then guard it. <br /><br />I write slowly and would love to write faster, but whenever I have disregarded my own advice, the result was that I wrote even slower because I was now fighting myself while trying to create.<br /><br />The way I write is inefficient, but trust me, wrestling with myself while wrestling with the muse is worse.Mary Margrethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04777940150169201630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2802601138878132017.post-79924948012551796292009-07-14T08:03:28.350-04:002009-07-14T08:03:28.350-04:00I got to use the word Chlamydia in the work in pro...I got to use the word Chlamydia in the work in progress last night.

I once heard that you can not use the word piss pot, so I wrote almost an entire scene using one. <br /><br />I've never heard of not using a football player. I have heard that you can't use rockstars. *rolls eyes*Reneehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10661396654827059313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2802601138878132017.post-60862378160869775332009-07-14T07:38:07.589-04:002009-07-14T07:38:07.589-04:00Have fun, everyone!!!Have fun, everyone!!!Terry Spearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14788961423817944896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2802601138878132017.post-60406666583550991572009-07-14T06:55:01.877-04:002009-07-14T06:55:01.877-04:00See you there soon, Marie!
