Yours is an interesting way of doing it, like writing installments! <br /><br />Ooh -- I like how you explain that. Stories are very much a part of our environment, because our environment is very much a part of us. :)Kelsey Bryanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18398824033560242061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2930254604994263094.post-32722539497066958642013-04-05T16:39:42.113-07:002013-04-05T16:39:42.113-07:00If and when I finish the revision, I would definit...If and when I finish the revision, I would definitely try to get it out on the market. At present the revision has added a younger sister to the three original heroines, plus a number of new incidents. I'm writing it in novellas, which I plan to stitch together later. Do you hop around the story as you write, or do you write it straight through from beginning to end? <br /><br />I'd have to get used to the changes of the seasons in a different climate. The ones here are sort of soaked into my blood--part of me and of the stories I write. I think if I lived in the country long enough in a place like Michigan, my stories would change!<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14824278922012521346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2930254604994263094.post-64879997320067139582013-04-02T16:58:20.104-07:002013-04-02T16:58:20.104-07:00That's interesting that you find you're mo...That's interesting that you find you're more creative in the spring. There's a lot of things to be inspired by! I haven't noticed that about myself in any particular season ... unless it's the days spent indoors in winter that give me a cozy, nostalgic feeling. :-) <br />You're revising American Homeschooler -- does that mean you're going to publish it officially? If so, I'm glad to hear that! <br />I love living in the country ... can you imagine what it'd be like up north in Michigan (where my dad's from), for example, and the seasons are even more marked? <br />Thank you -- the descriptive passages are some of my favorites. :-) Kelsey Bryanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18398824033560242061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2930254604994263094.post-58107550452329480382013-04-01T15:28:02.237-07:002013-04-01T15:28:02.237-07:00I love spring too.

The turn of the seasons has made its way into some of my novels too--notably American Homeschooler, which I am now revising. Living in the country has really given me an opportunity to experience the rhythms of nature.<br /><br />Great snippets from your book, btw!
