Thanks. I wish I could say this was my first draft, but it's not far from it. This week is a soul searching one for me, I feel I'm going around in circles and not making any progress. I'm going to stop revising and go back to…"

"From a very quick first read, here are my notes:
- the tense change from the italicized sentence to the body of the prologue is awkward.
- you have a lot of modifiers in your sentences, and many double adjectives. I too, am guilty of this in early…"

"Jennifer, I don't think there are any rules set in stone over this issue. Try both ways and see what works. I have heard that YA readers prefer first-person, whether in past or present. As a reader myself, I find most of my books are written in…"
Selene MacLeod replied to the discussion 'Which tense is currently accepted for YA submissions' in the group Writers for Young Adults
"I think it's easier to be consistent when writing in past tense, third-person POV. Even first person, but I find that has the air of things "remembered."
I've written two YA novels, one in third-person past tense and the other in…"

- Hi I am a new writer and I compare myself to a newborn from Stephanie Meyer's Twilight, no I wont suck your blood. But, I am writing as if, it is what I need to do in order to survive,but I am making so many messy mistakes. I feel in a frenzy not sure which way to turn and as many steps as I take forward, I take 100 back. I started writing full time only 8 months ago, when I made the monumental decision to dedicate my free time to finishing a story I had been toying around with,…

Juliet Greenwood said… Hi Jen,
I didn't confess I was a writer for years. Friends were quite relieved when I finally 'came out' as a very busy person rather than a sad person who stayed in a lot. :)
Getting there is just a process, like everything else.
Enjoy the journey!
