2...1. Reading. That's as old school as it gets.<br />2. Computers. I know there are those who swear by writing by hand, but if it weren't for computers, I think I'd stick to oral storytelling.<br />3. OSC Writing Sci fi and Fantasy, and King's On Writing.<br />4. Tamora Pierce's Alanna Series.<br />5. Hatrack.<br />6. I check out utahrealestate.com more than is healthy for a human person.<br />7. Cereal. Especially Cocoa Roos, or any kind of cereal that makes Chocolate Milk.<br />8. Use your own voice, and write your own stories. <br />9. Taking showers. My best writing comes from zoning out with the water pouring on my head.Sheena Boekweghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08227547053651725634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4561827139818452407.post-89377475685911414072012-07-15T09:54:13.143-07:002012-07-15T09:54:13.143-07:00I would die without:

The Internet, in general, and Wikipedia, specifically.<br />3. Any and all the books in the Elements of Fiction Writing series.<br />4. I would never have begun writing if it hadn't been for Graham Dunstin Martin's books Giftwish and Catchfire.<br />5. Pub Rants. Kristin Nelson is my hero.<br />6. Cakewrecks.com is a hilarious site to waste a few minutes (or hours.)<br />7. Macaroni and cheese. But not the box kind, I'm talking about the read deal.<br />8. "It can be fixed." I've written this inside the cover of every journal and notebook I own.<br />9. Getting in the car, cranking up the radio, and just going for a drive.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07572122401159709175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4561827139818452407.post-2190725695212235782012-07-14T14:21:24.078-07:002012-07-14T14:21:24.078-07:001.

Laptops count as new school, right?<br />3. I've actually only read writing books in the most scattered of ways. But my writing most definitely would have died without Hatrack.<br />4. I don't have a particular book that I started writing for, but I adore Patricia McKillip. I first read the Riddlemaster trilogy at 12, and it stuck with me where many other books from that time faded away.<br />5. Duotrope.<br />6. Regretsy (not the nicest of sites, but it makes me laugh like nothing else. NOT for anyone under 18 for the occasional image of nekkid people)<br />7. Nachos, made at home, chips and cheese and onions broiled with fresh tomatoes on top (and occasionally chicken, avocados, and black beans). <br />8. That writing is just as much perspiration as inspiration, and that you'll get better with practice. I held on dearly to that during the early years of constant rejections. And guess what? I have gotten better.<br />9.
