It ties in with so many questions I've been asking myself & others on how to write my current WIP. Your advice lets me know I'm on the right track after all. What a relief! See, I'm ALWAYS learning something new from you. And though I only read a handful of of YA in a year, I'm definitely going to check this book out if for no other reason than to observe how the author pulled these things you list off.Nancy Thompsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05735642863696266005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4206355073837906221.post-57912322786113957882011-11-16T18:06:42.468-08:002011-11-16T18:06:42.468-08:00Wow, how many of us probably did a similar thing i...Wow, how many of us probably did a similar thing in high school (not the shooting, but the list).
