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.
Yes! I'm really intrigued by what kind of structures authors use. Aside from the great storytelling, this book felt so seamless. It's definitely a book I want to revisit and learn more from.

Julia, I have her writing book, too! Let’s read it for our just-formed 2024 book club 😍
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, Jennifer!
