I was motivated by the quotes posted by dlanthomas (and of course all the great reviews posted by other dedicated LJ’rs such as edithspage, missrodeo, marivee, grizzlygirl1, and soniag - thank you, thank you:)
Here are some quotes that inspired me:
“Find joy in the process.” Bruce Coville
“Boil down the conflict, and let everything jump off from there.” Mark Teague
“Writing stopped being a hobby and became a mission.” Lisa Yee
“Think of how an adult would react to a situation and write the opposite.” [for YA]
Rachel Cohn
“Dialogue must be unique to each character. Does it make a difference if you switch lines?” Margaret Peterson Haddix
“The tone of the manuscript, the voice of character, need to be even more captivating than the problems presented.” Julie Strauss-Gabel, on first pages.
