To all those other writers out there, I wonder if you feel the same as I do.
When people learn that I wrote a novel and its getting published, I get many responses:
"What are you doing?" they ask, almost in horror at seeing an open notebook with page 150 on it.
"Is that for school?" This response just makes me laugh. What high school teacher would have a student write novel for homework?
"If they make a movie, I want in."
"Why?" This question is spoken with particular confusion and horror. Like I am some abnormal creature that enjoys books and writing. I do it because it is my PASSION.
Writing is intuitive to me. That is my strength. I know in my heart how something has to be in story. Things accidentally click together all the time because of thise fact. So, when the book comes out, think about the work it took. Each even and every character was created out of my intuition.
