his is NOT a plug for a friend. I promise. Jennifer is an amazing teacher and a true inspiration, and she believes in people. You want to write? Excellent. She will teach you how to write. You have to do the work, and it might take years, but she’s there for you.
Again. Not the point. It’s all about me, right?
I’ve been having a hard time with writing. I’ve been trying to work on a new project, and it hasn’t gone well. Usually I get the idea, I get excited, I do tons of research (which, in turn, gives me more ideas and inspiration), and then I sit down and write. Viola! Novel. This one? Not so much.
And Jennifer’s probably telling me what a lovely writer I am just so that she can get someone else to pay for her class (just kidding!), but it’s exactly the motivation I needed at a time when I really had to do something different with my writing.Nor am I sure why I consistently choose to write in first person. What’s that all about? Actually, I know what it’s all about. It’s SO much easier to write in first person. You’ve only got one perspective to deal with—no confusing the point of view there, now, is there?
But here’s hoping that the Bones of Storytelling Class with Jennifer will inspire and motivate me to learn to take the fun from writing even when I’m writing something I’m not sure about.

I’ve spent so long thinking that I wanted to be a YA author, but the Great Aunt Lydia Project has taken me in a completely different direction. More grown-up. And she’s more full of the drama, despite all of the “keep it all inside” mentality of German immigrants in the Middle at that time. Well, at any time, really. So she’s got a lot going on that’s not nearly as much fun as my happy-go-lucky little jester, or even as much fun as my go-for-the-gusto air mail pilot.So I’m not sure I like it.
