The problem for new writers is finding what works for them. It was very frustrating for me. I wanted to TELL me what worked best for me.

A potential reader looks at the back cover blurb opens the book and reads the first page. if the first page has nothing in common with the blurb they put it down. IMHO anyway. The outline keeps me on story target I don't wander all over the place. I think there are more people coming over to the dark side BTW.<br />RitaRitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09054306874904898496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7085485154799354400.post-70475061289063621702009-08-27T18:36:10.285-07:002009-08-27T18:36:10.285-07:00Fantastic interview Autumn.

I was in a beginner's online romance ...Anon <br />I was in a beginner's online romance writing class (Lori Wilde's) she highly suggested it would be a good idea if I had a romance story to work on. Ya think? So I had to come up with something fast. I like suspense so that was the way I was going. Okay, I was watching The Guardian on TV. I live a couple of blocks from the beach and a CG helicopter was flying over. That was it! Female CG pilot<br />I took Lori's class twice. I'm slow to learn. I really clicked with her. I have to say she really set me on the right path. She gives direct feedback in her classes which is how I learn best. She used to teach several classes. I believe she only has beginners classes now since she is so busy getting books out to Avon. I can also recommend Margie Lawson. I love her Body Language and Dialogue Cues lecture packet. <br />Thanks for asking <br />RitaRitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09054306874904898496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7085485154799354400.post-66699050482568675482009-08-27T13:37:23.491-07:002009-08-27T13:37:23.491-07:00Rita, I'd like to ask a couple of questions.

Did you use his workbook?
