I haven't been picked up yet...Happy Birthday TWRP!<br /><br />I haven't been picked up yet by this line, but I've been talking with Eve about one of my stories. I have to say, everyone that I've dealt with from the Cactus Line to the Wayback Series and The Flower Basket series, have been wonderful. You girls are all so helpful with your suggestions without making me feel like I'm not worthy!<br /><br />Keep your eyes peeled Eve. You should be seeing mine again real soon!<br /><br />Sandy SullivanSandy Sullivanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17943828577241346808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5926989890703867833.post-70325388157084499612009-05-01T17:55:00.000-04:002009-05-01T17:55:00.000-04:00Happy Birthday Wild Rose!Happy Birthday Wild Rose!Amy S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17202603187907169256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5926989890703867833.post-8562019865989365042009-05-01T14:56:00.000-04:002009-05-01T14:56:00.000-04:00I loved Little House On The Prairie.

Helen made sure my book was polished until I think it glows. I have a gorgeous cover, and best of all we have editors and a publisher who communicate with us all the time. <br /><br />Happy Birthday Wild Rose, and I know there will be many, many more to celebrate!Deborah Schneiderhttp://www.debschneider.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5926989890703867833.post-22631039358515972842009-05-01T11:06:00.001-04:002009-05-01T11:06:00.001-04:00Lauri, thanks!
Ann, Head hopping pulls me out of...Lauri, thanks! <br /><br />Ann, Head hopping pulls me out of a story faster than anything. <br /><br />Danie, Head hopping is when the writer has a sentence or paragraph in one character's thoughts then switched to the other character's thoughts and back again in a short amount of time. To pull the reader into the character's Point of View and draw the reader deeper into the story. You should stay in one Character's POV for a scene or at least half a scene.<br /><br />Tess, looking forward to seeing something from you.<br /><br />Amber, we'd love to see something from you, too.<br /><br />Thanks for hanging with us this morning Tanya!Patricia Tannerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06843605143341678411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5926989890703867833.post-68626002329608095102009-05-01T11:06:00.000-04:002009-05-01T11:06:00.000-04:00Congratulations, Cactus Rose Editors. Reading "Wha...Congratulations, Cactus Rose Editors. Reading "What editors want" gave me some ideas and motivation, too. Not that I need much motivation--I love this writing business--and if you have an editor like Eve, even editing can be satisfying and soothing and sensible. (I singled her out because she's the only one I've dealt with on major editing.)I've heard nothing but good about all the Cactus editors.

The POV usually stays there until the scene closes. But I guess I'm used to the scene breaks.

To this day, I'll choose to watch a western movie over anything else first. As a new WRP author, this line definitly intrigues me. "Think Little House on the Prairie and add romance"... to me that describes my very favorite TV series of all time - Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman. Romance was woven in nearly every episode. I look forward to being inspired to write for this line. :) Happy 3rd B-Day WRP! May you have many, many more.<br />~Tess ThielerTess Thielerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18026629329737596909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5926989890703867833.post-79422267908641977482009-05-01T10:22:00.000-04:002009-05-01T10:22:00.000-04:00um this probably sounds like a dumb question and i...um this probably sounds like a dumb question and im gonna blame it on how tired i am but... what exactly is headhopping?danie88https://www.blogger.com/profile/00931303137445871252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5926989890703867833.post-43849265870004982072009-05-01T10:18:00.000-04:002009-05-01T10:18:00.000-04:00I hate head hopping too!
