message 31: by Brigit

Brigit Di Morbide As an author, could you give me some writerly advice? How do you start a book? I mean, I have so many ideas, but if the beginning isn't in sync with my story, the whole thing is off. Was it hard for you starting your books? Or does it just come naturally for you? Because I keep deleting my work, because it isn't working.

P.Q. Glisson Hello Alexandra, fellow author and newly acquired friend. :)
Thanks for accepting my friend request.
Please take a moment to check out my profile page to see some of my current projects.

Thanks again and I put your book "Brightly Woven" on my TBR list. :) Her Sanctuary by P.Q. Glisson


Nicole Dreibelbeis Hi,
I really enjoyed Brightly Woven- it was so different from a lot of what I've read recently! I read mostly young adult, and often fantasy, but I was really impressed with how original the story was.I had to say hello because I also went to WM (tribe pride!) and was so excited when I discovered you went there too.
Looking forward to more great books from you in the future...keep making the 'burg proud!


Kellie O'Malley Alex I read your book at it was great!


Elisa Thanks for accepting me! I'm just about to finish Brightly Woven! (And loving it, by the way)
