Guest Post from Author Sam Maggs: Ladies Rock

Bunny

Today we have a GUEST POST from author Sam Maggs, author of the book: Wonder Women: 25 Innovators, Inventors, and Trailblazers Who Changed History   Ladies Rock: What I Listened to While Writing Wonder Women Music plays a huge part in my attitude when I sit down to write.

Zodiac by Romina Russell

Hey you guys! Today we have a GUEST POST from author Romina Russell!  Author of the new YA series: ZODIAC!

So the story questions that came out in that…

Communities were stronger. But honestly? I fear I’d be just as lousy as a dystopianite as I would be a pioneer. Because a girl likes her creature comforts. Here are 10 things I’d miss the most… 1.

Every moment in a book has its challenges.  How to open, how to close.  How to drum up tension, how to make something seem real.  How to add the taste of the wind, how to give texture to the physicality of the environment. I found that I didn’t have many problems writing the rough of any scene, but the shaping and coloring, the bringing out the reality often became a challenge, especially if I felt my own knowledge was lacking.  Take writing from a teenage girl’s perspective.  I haven’t been…
