How to write monsters – that one I need to check out!
It’s a great post!
I wonder how effective online book fairs are?
It sounds to me like they can be really slickly produced from an author and publisher standpoint, but yeah…wondering how strong the attendance is with them, especially in these tough times.
I really like the posts about approaches to plotting, Elizabeth! There are different ways to put a plot together, but no matter what, it has to have structure, in my opinion. Good to see a variety of ways to do that.
You’re so right…structure is vital. Hope you have a great week, Margot!
