KaSonndra Leigh replied to Georgia McBride's discussion Why are you telling your story? Do you even know?"Love this question Georgia. My answer is both simple and complicated. I wrote my story because my sons told me to. Or...to be more precise. They told me to write something for boys because "the girls got all the good books, and there isn't…"
Tom Bridgeland replied to KaSonndra Leigh's discussion Seraphine Shadows: A Gothic Fantasy by KaSonndra Leigh in the group First Pages (Crit Group)"I down-loaded this and only got one page."
KaSonndra Leigh replied to LM Preston's discussion Slang in YA"How do you know when you've gone overboard on YA slang? When YA's reading your work say 'what's up with all that funny stuff in the conversations?' I have 13 and 14 year old sons and they gigged me on this right away when I…"

KaSonndra Leigh replied to Robin Lucas's discussion Dream Sequences/ Flashbacks"I dedicated one entire chapter to a dream sequence. I only did so because it was essential to the plot/storyline.

- Thanks so much KaSonndra! Glad to help. It really is looking good. I'm intrigued to read more which is exactly what you want from the first 5 :)
And thanks, any help I can get on my first pages would be amazing. I have tons of action but it does not start until page 6 or 7 but there is foreshadowing so let me know how well/bad i do with that!

Veronica Worthington said… - Writing the Breakout Novel. OMG! So much there, my brain went into overload. I could not write for two weeks after, it had to have time to reset. I started the workbook itself and stopped, decided I was not far enough in my manuscript to use it. When I finish and have gone a few rounds of editing, I'll give it another whirl.
I'm still at the Con, came back from the Vampire Ball just a little while ago. Nice free dinner. Lots of fun to be had. My roommate is still out dancing her little feet off. I think she's made some new friends, some that might be additional critiquers for her, besides me. We all need more than one.
