After reading ...Wow, was this is really a big help! After reading this, I thought to myself, "this is that little push I needed."<br />I've been working on my novel for almost 5 years and it has seen many changes in drastic ways. And now, I'm finally near the end and reading this totally gave me that final bump I needed to work my butt off to see my book on the shelves of a store or in someones' hands. That would be the greatest gift of all time and wouldn't even care about the money. You're really an inspiration and I'm extremely glad I read all your books.

This is AWESOME, Dashner. :)<BR/><BR/>As for sharing your thoughts on how you got published and your 'to dos' and 'not to dos'- I really appreciate you taking the time to post this.

I've never written anything but children's literature, so I only know that approach. But I don't think it would be very different. A young adult novel should be just as structured, well plotted, well written, well everything as an adult novel. Interesting food for thought.<BR/><BR/>Kimberly, you better get that first draft done! Pronto!<BR/><BR/>Tristi, Book 2? Girl, I can hardly stand waiting for Book 1 to come out.<BR/><BR/>I'm at 58,000 words on Book 2. I'm assuming it will come out in March of 2009.

I am looking forward to more nuggets of wisdom.<BR/>Here is another question.<BR/>I have about a dozen story ideas kicking around my head. One is definately a young adult type story. How do you approach the writing process of a young adult novel vs. an adult novel? I have written several short stories and am working on a novel that has gotten a bit big (looks like a duology now) but they are complex. I need to figure out how to write for the young adult audience.<BR/><BR/>BTW: I am giving my wife your ARC of The 13th Reality to read.Ron Simpsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05401859974073059650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8648274871264107501.post-11037384624390632202007-12-27T17:37:00.000-07:002007-12-27T17:37:00.000-07:00Pretty sure you used whom correctly.
