Hi Andrea: I love meeting fellow Blue Boarders from Verla Kay. Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment.

Yes, I’m learning so much from studying action scenes. I hope you stop by later this week and see what you can get out of the examples.

Writing a fast-paced action scene is a real challenge for me too. My critiquers help pick up on details that might not work that way in real life. I like the idea that the protag has to make a quick decision or show an instinctive reaction. Thanks for making me think a little deeper! [I found you through the Blue Boards.]

Hi Jody: Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment. I love your blog! :)

I love writing in scenes. It keeps me in the moment. Rosenfeld’s book is really good at identifying different types of scenes and what makes them work.

Hi Sharon: I’ve never been to Chautauqua but many of my writer friends have and they have loved it.

I did get attend the Highlights Whole Novel Workshop in 2008 with Carolyn Coman and Jane Resh Thomas and that was FABULOUS.
