I really enjoyed reading how she felt her art and writing complemented each other, and that each were seasonal for her.

I love her number one advice. Don't go at it alone. That is so true. I learned so much from my first critique group in St. Peters, MO--Donna :), Lou, Amy, Kirk, Amy W., Kim, even Kevin!

I haven't tried storyboarding or writing islands, except those floating papers Lynn mentioned. Thanks for introducing Mary to us, Lynn! I can see why she inspired you.T.W.

I loved the idea of writing "in islands" (which makes sense to me, but I think that's due more to how scatterbrained my head is, instead of if I'm right or left-brained). Also, the term "book doctor" is a wonderful phrase. <br /><br />In my opinion, the WWWPs are story doctors...Sioux Roslawskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17924021828536277618noreply@blogger.com
