I stop reading a book if I can't connect with the characters so yes, a book is a breathing creation!<br /><br />All the best with your memoir.

I am enjoying reliving my college days, or should I say years, for it took me ten years to finish my B.A. in English. Of course, these were ten of my children's growing up years as well. And therein lay the adventure and humor going to college with five children in tow. <br /><br />Thanks again for visiting my Adventures in Writing blog.

I do believe that any good story is a living, breathing creation. I am a voracious reader and love to be totally immersed in a story. Theresa, I know when I read a short story of yours and the passages of your stories that you post on your blog, I am totally involved in what's going on. Thanks for being such a great model for me.<br /><br />I agree you both, Michelle and Marie. Readers don't want to be swamped in description. I believe readers want a sense of place and character and to be carried along by the action of the story.<br /><br />Michelle, how wonderful that your husband is a writer. I think it's neat to have a writer in the family. Does he write fiction, essays, or poetry? Thank you for reading my Camping with Kids blog about my adventures camping with the family. As a writer, I enjoy keeping a log of our family adventures. <br /><br />Marie, you are so sweet. Thank you for your kind words. Let's hope they come true. I'm enjoying writing about my adventures in college with the five children in tow. They have always been my inspiration and my life.<br /><br />Thank you again, ladies, for visiting my blog. Please stop by again.

Some authors tend to describe way too much. While reading your other blog, I can truly imagine the scene that you are painting without being overwhelmed. I wish I had some advice, but I'm no writer. That's more my husband's thing. <br /><br />Keep up the great work!!Michelle Maderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15128626141907277816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5220588443545007238.post-73214276317754777412013-02-28T20:36:00.770-05:002013-02-28T20:36:00.770-05:00Fantastic line: "A story is a living breathin...Fantastic line: "A story is a living breathing creation. Make sure your readers feel the same way about your creation."<br /><br />You give great tips. I try to give description in the action whenever I can. <br /><br />Theresa Milsteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03477761307315565259noreply@blogger.com
