By Susan J Berger
Yes I am doing it again. The absolutely insane world of trying to write a first draft in a month.
And one of the things that keeps me going, particularly after I have slogged through some swampy part of the manuscript sinking in the terribleness of my plot-less prose, are the Pep Talks
Right now I am beginning week three and these talks tell me I am not alone. Some of the writers whose work I most admire have been where I am right now.
The Pep Talks are wonderful things to read when you need a bit of encouragement. Here are a few of my favorites.
On each of the talks you will find links to their websites and books.
Tamora Pierce
Neil Gaiman
Gail Carson Levine
John Green
Meg Cabot
Wendy Mass
There are many, many, more. Happy writing.
