This is only one way, one option, and by no means the ONLY way. You go whatever way you KNOW is best for YOUR story.

But if you need to write toward the light despite whatever darkness surronding you, you just have to, and that's what I told a precious writer friend of mine whose facing a big challenge in her next book that requires this darkness the post above is talking about.<br /><br />I know nothing of parenting, being a teacher or marriage, but I've learned what I learned about writing through first-hand experience, same as anyone else here.<br /><br />I HAD to write Gabriel, no matter how many (Well-meaning but a tad narrow) parents and teachers who told me it's too advanced, boys won't like or respond to it, it'll be seen as as too babyish for kids OVER 5, etc. It's why I started T.A.A. <br /><br />Sometimes going your own way can be a lonely journey. But the alternative is to wonder what might've been. I don't want to be saying that at the end of my life.<br />Taurean Watkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16604609379930060667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2173408054965817352.post-76726262429215064972013-12-14T10:21:52.437-06:002013-12-14T10:21:52.437-06:00Love how monsters don't have to necessarily ne...Love how monsters don't have to necessarily need to be true monsters.
