Have written any stories other like Purple Moon?<br />4. How do you choose the names for your characters?<br />5.

Thanks so much! :D
This is kinda...This is so cool! Thanks so much! :D<br /><br />This is kinda similar to Rcubed's question, but what's your revising process like? If you have multiple drafts, do you have a certain thing you focus on revising in each one (character, plot, pacing, etc)? <br /><br />That's the only one I can think of right now, but I might post more later. :) Katheline Hansenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14825707529510088133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7093187878739089807.post-10734981019496397452014-07-21T16:11:37.779-07:002014-07-21T16:11:37.779-07:00Do you know of any publishing companies that are w...Do you know of any publishing companies that are willing to consider publishing fiction by teens (as long as it's well-written, of course :)) without the author having to pay for it?Katyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16953185569570430424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7093187878739089807.post-63929567410142231442014-07-21T11:20:45.874-07:002014-07-21T11:20:45.874-07:00Thanks so much!

However, like Rcubed, I may come up with more later.<br /><br />~Are you a pantser or a planner, and if you are a planner, how do you outline your novels?<br />~What is your writing process like?<br />~Do you write you stories as fast as possible, or do you take a slower approach?<br />~Did you publish any short stories or articles before you published Purple Moon?<br />~If a teen writer gets an agent, but would like to pursue another career full time and writing only part time, would that be okay with the agent?<br /><br />Thanks for reading!<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7093187878739089807.post-73271663166892308662014-07-21T10:52:04.910-07:002014-07-21T10:52:04.910-07:00What is one of your favorite YA authors and books?...What is one of your favorite YA authors and books?

Here are mine:<br /><br />-What is your daily writing goal?<br />-Do you typically rewrite your first draft over and over and over again, or are you usually satisfied with writing one draft and revising that one?<br />-What methods do you usually use in developing your characters? (For example, character journals, interviewing characters, etc.)<br /><br />That's it for now--I'll probably come up with some others later :-)Rachel Alisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13691540712142433795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7093187878739089807.post-32916963104255665472014-07-21T07:50:11.566-07:002014-07-21T07:50:11.566-07:00Wow, thanks!
