Congratulations! :)<br /><br />I also find that writing friends are more critical of one's work and bluntly honest, too. <br /><br />I never had support of my writing as a youngster, but since I've found a great community of writers and authors, my writing has grown and become a work of art. <br /><br />I'll look at your postings gladly. <br /><br />Thanks again!jonihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03401569094090026684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13925627.post-7218832193917010442010-06-23T19:39:00.973-05:002010-06-23T19:39:00.973-05:00I was doing an author interview the other day and ...I was doing an author interview the other day and one of the questions was *Which aspects of the work you put into the book did you find most difficult? <br /><br />My answer was <br />'It was difficult at first to know if the idea was good enough to be worth pursuing. I was also terrified of it not being good enough, which made early criticism difficult. <br /><br />The next question was<br />Why do you think this was so?<br /><br />My answer <br />A lack of confidence in my ability as a writer. <br /><br />The point being that all authors, in fact all artists, wonder if they're good enough. I decided that I would become good enough. Three years of hard work later, my YA fantasy Novel, 'Lethal Inheritance' is good enough to score a top Australian agent and I'm on my way to publication.<br /><br />So keep at it. You write well. Now make it as good as it can be.<br /><br />If you're interested in YA fantasy, you might like to take a look at ch1 of my novel. You’ll find it at <br />http://publishersearch.wordpress.com<br /><br />As another emerging writer, you might also find some of my posts interesting. I'm putting one up on dealing with rejection soon.Tahliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10590148176559001288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13925627.post-15345438839258004012010-06-23T19:30:07.028-05:002010-06-23T19:30:07.028-05:00Gosh June...who did you think I was referring too?...Gosh June...who did you think I was referring too??? <br /><br />I read your post today. :)<br /><br />Thanks for popping in!
