The Journey of Finishing a Novel. July 11, 2013. By author A. Lynn. Of course, in fairness, I must remind you of this: that we writers are the most lily-livered of all craftsmen. We expect more, for the most peewee efforts, than any other people. Brenda Ueland, If You Want to Write: A Book about Art, Independence and Spirit.

The Journey of Finishing a Novel. July 22, 2013. Getting Dirty in a Rainbow. By author A. Lynn. 1) Art is subjective. As is writing. As is life. There is no such thing as black and white, wrong and right. No art piece is perfect or horrible. Not story will appeal to all people. And no ones life is easily explained in a stereotype. 2) Nothing is right on the first try. Ever! 3) It’s always more fun to play. I’m sure there are more, but I feel these three cover the most important lessons in art, writ...

The Journey of Finishing a Novel. July 8, 2013. Country Mouse, City Mouse. By author A. Lynn. Writers aren’t people exactly. Or, if they’re any good, they’re a whole lot of people trying so hard to be one person. And the truth is…I don’t know what I want because I love them both.

I know that even they have obst...Good to see you...
