Thank you for answering my question - I am the same, I write 'whenever' the mood strikes me, but I think I also need a bit more structure because when I get out of the habit of writing, it can be weeks before anything gets done again! xDonnahttp://www.donnaonthebeach.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552332712314622447.post-57452818119169886202011-03-19T19:26:27.822+00:002011-03-19T19:26:27.822+00:00Hi there, Miranda.

And, now that I have found your blog, I would like to thank you personally for it.<br /><br />Anyway, I wanted to ask you a favor...<br /><br />I want to be a writer. I have a manuscript and everything, and I am trying so hard. Don't worry, I am not going to be one of those people asking you to publish them, or anything!<br /><br />But, I would like to know if you would check out my blog? Or follow it? It would make my day to know an actually writer likes the way I write. Even a simple comment would make me smile for a week.<br />My link: www.etiennesjournal.blogspot.com<br /><br />I am just a fourteen year old girl with an unhealthy passion for writing. I would love to keep in contact with you, you seem like such an interesting person! I would like to ask you loads of questions.<br /><br />I know this was long, forgive me. If you would like to know, my email address is: etiennestoller@gmail.com<br /><br />It would be wonderful to hear from you. Or, if you would, please look at my blog. It would make my week.<br /><br />I'll stop rambling now.<br /><br />Lots of love, and best wishes for this new, upcoming novel and journey.<br /><br />EtienneEtienne Stollerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01240475467816433062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552332712314622447.post-78767888554387525962011-03-18T14:40:06.678+00:002011-03-18T14:40:06.678+00:00Arghhhhh - Cornwall!Arghhhhh - Cornwall!Emmanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552332712314622447.post-26951324600859518842011-03-17T21:23:26.834+00:002011-03-17T21:23:26.834+00:00Hi!

I know it's strange but whenever I read of the guidelines for submitting a manuscript it's mind-boggling so I can definitely understand it a bit more. I'm looking forward to seeing a proper one!<br /><br />This week's question came to me when you answered the question about your writing schedule. Have you ever experienced writer's block? And if that were to happen, do publishers have contingencies in place to help? (For example (HYPOTHETICALLY) if you suddenly got writer's block now and it didn't come back until May, what would happen to It Started With A Kiss since it would be due out in November?) Are publishers understanding when it comes to things like that? I'm now going to knock on a lot of wood just so I don't jinx you!<br /><br />I think I've recreated my comment. It's not as good as it was, but it'll do because the other comment got lost in the ether!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552332712314622447.post-81083755764002205562011-03-17T15:36:08.251+00:002011-03-17T15:36:08.251+00:00Thanks for answering my question - can't wait ...Thanks for answering my question - can't wait to see the next cover!
