Well, I’ve been wondering about Part Time Indian and now you have inspired me. Also kinda curious about the Two Men on a Train. My NANO efforts were mediocre this November, but I am nurturing, and feeling, a better writing focus. Like, it’s time to get serious, Julia, and you are worth it. I have heard about Nyad and want to read the book about her, but perhaps hubby and I can enjoy the Netflix version together. Did you attend the Ruta Sepetys Webinar thru SCBWI?!?! So did I! Very inspiring. I also got her book and workbook. Looking forward to digging into that after editing MS 1 and 2 in 2024. Thankful for you! 💜
The format of diary of a part time Indian so helped me write my own first book. Normal chapters intimidate me and I loved that that book felt more just broken up into sections.

Love this:
If writing a book in a month had a recipe, it would include:
*a dream
*some resolve
*a pinch of discipline
*heaps of creative juggling while writing in parked cars or a waiting room (my setting today)
Here’s what you leave out (besides the phone): the demons that taunt you to stop.
Nice post! 💗

Thank you so much, Amy.
