Back to the Drawing Board...Dang! |
|
I've been taking Val Hobbs ' writing class the past few weeks. For all you in the Ventura/Santa Barbara/SLO are, I highly recommend it. She really makes you dig and asks some pretty tough questions, such as, "Why are you writing this story?" and "What's the square root of 938773?" Seriously, I found that first one to be pretty difficult.
One thing that popped up in class, though, was that the book I thought was young adult is really middle grade. If I'm going to stick to the voice that comes naturally and is funnier, my YA plot no longer works. Dang, dang, and double dang!
So it's back to the drawing board for this sorrowful bloke. I've got my genre nailed. Now if only I can find a plot. And what does this mean to you, Dear Reader? It means if you have any plot ideas, please send them my way. Greg

“What a great presentation! Many visuals brought the "talk" to life. The students loved the spooky laughter contest and to be able to play a part from the book. Greg Trine really relates to kids!” Pam Zirion 2nd Grade Teacher, Hawthorne Elementary School
