But I refused to change it and stood firm with her on the phone, even though I was terrified that I wouldn't have an offer at all. I sent her the first 100 pages and she agreed that the book should be categorized as women's fiction. It helps to be prepared with knowledge about what you are writing about and thankfullly for me, it paid off. I read Novel Spaces daily and have always liked your posts.Katrina Spencerhttp://katrinaspencer.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4521080555650469896.post-64358234127751063972009-09-09T14:20:04.341-04:002009-09-09T14:20:04.341-04:00I don't fight the fear because I think that ta...I don't fight the fear because I think that takes too much energy. Instead I just accept the fear and ignore it (something I learned from years of yoga). <br /><br />When fear does interfere with my writing, I remind myself of all the things I've been through—surgeries, floods, hurricanes—that were much scarier than typing in my office.<br /><br />That's one of the advantages of being an older writer, I think. It gives me a better perspective on many things, including the fear of writing.Shauna Robertshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03871768714926149114noreply@blogger.com
