It's my day off so I was mooching round the blogosphere looking for interesting blogs to read between bouts of writing and other stuff.
Anyway I came across the following blog post about "Writing for the Story", which I found interesting and relevant. So I thought I'd share it with you. I think Jennifer St. Clair is right to say that it's too easy to get caught up in the bottom line and writing to sell. We'd all just be better writing what we love because we love it. It's certainly why I write.
About Me
- Becka
- Becka Sutton is a self-described crazy cat lady, but she’s not very good at it: While she is crazy she only has one cat. She was born in Britain in 1972 and has lived there her entire life. In her early teens she started scrawling fantasy stories in exercise books her mother bought her to stop her scribbling in her school books. She hasn’t stopped writing since, and she credits writing as the outlet that allowed her to recover from the nervous breakdown she had after her parents died. Her other interests include reading, listening to music, attempting to draw, growing her own vegetables and looking after the aforementioned cat, Pumpkin. No, you can’t read the novel she scrawled as a teen – she burned it long ago because it was awful. You can read more of her work at http://firebird-fiction.com
