About Tracy:<br /><br />Tracy Clark is a young-adult writer because she believes teens deserve to know how much they matter and that regardless of what they're going through, they aren't alone. In other words, she writes books for her teen self.<br /><br />She grew up a "valley girl" in Southern California but now resides in her home state of Nevada with her daughter and son. She's an unapologetic dog person who is currently owned by a cat. She is the recipient of the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators (SCBWI) Work in Progress Grant and a two-time participant in the prestigious Nevada SCBWI Mentor Program.<br /><br />Her debut novel, SCINTILLATE, was inspired by her enchantment with metaphysics as a teen, seeing it as the real magic in life. Tracy is a part-time college student, a private pilot, and an irredeemable dreamer.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.tracyclark.org/">Website</a>/<a href="http://www.tracyclark.org/Blog.html">Blog</a>/<a href="https://twitter.com/TracyClark_TLC">Twitter</a>/<a href="https://www.facebook.com/TracyClarkAuthor">Facebook</a>/<a href="https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/6166668.Tracy_Clark">Goodreads</a><br />

SCINTILLATE Blurb:<br /><br />Cora Sandoval’s mother disappeared when she was five and living in Ireland. Since then, Dad has been more than overprotective and Cora is beginning to chafe under his confines. But even more troubling is the colorful light she is suddenly seeing around people. Everyone, that is, except herself—she glows a brilliant, sparkling silver.<br /><br />Troubled by these strange flickerings and fearing she is being stalked, Cora is inexplicably drawn to Finn, a gorgeous Irish exchange student who makes her feel safe. Their attraction is instant, magnetic, and primal—but her father disapproves and Finn’s mother orders him home to Ireland upon hearing he’s fallen in love. After a fight with her father, Cora flees to Ireland, both to follow Finn and to look for her missing mother.<br /><br />There she meets another silver-haloed person and discovers the meaning of her newfound powers and their role in a conspiracy spanning centuries—a conspiracy that could end her life and change mankind forever.<br /><br />Scintillate is the first book in this lush and exciting new trilogy, full of romance, adventure and metaphysical mystery.<br /><br /><a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/18050015-scintillate?ac=1">Goodreads</a>/<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Scintillate-Entangled-Teen-ebook/dp/B00DTDH93Q/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1381953033&sr=8-2&keywords=Tracy+Clark">Amazon</a>/<a href="http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/scintillate-tracy-clark/1115568928?ean=9781622661459">Barnes & Noble</a>/<a href="http://www.bookdepository.com/Scintillate-Tracy-Clark/9781622661459">The Book Depository</a> <br />

Just when I began to sink back into my pillows, the door swung open again, and I couldn’t have been more surprised by who entered. Of course, I knew of Finn Doyle. The whole school knew of the intriguing new student from Ireland. Despite the fact that he was from the place of my birth, and that I’d cultivated a robust obsession with Ireland since my dad moved us to the States when I was little, I’d never tried to get to know him.<br /><br />Finn Doyle had unfortunate taste in friends.<br /><br />He was one of them. The banal, popular crowd I found so irritating, I nicknamed them the VIPs. (Vapid. Irritating. Populars.)<br /><br />I gaped at Finn in his striped volunteer apron as he neared my bed, while trying to ignore the cloud of colors surrounding him. It wasn’t unpleasant, though. Kind of like the sun was setting over his shoulders.<br /><br />“A guy candy striper?”<br /><br />“That’s surprisingly discriminatory. The family friend I’m staying with, who since birth has been male, works here as a lab tech. And I do believe your doctor is a woman. I’m willing to bet the world’s ready to accept a guy candy striper,” Finn said in his thick Irish accent. He followed through with a wide, teasing smile.<br /><br />There was something so focused about him as he spoke to me, it was unsettling. I scowled, getting on my own nerves for allowing Finn Doyle to make me self-conscious. I did my best to avoid the VIPs at all times. They were like soul sandpaper. Some of my humanity rubbed off with each interaction.<br /><br />It didn’t matter that Finn had been in the States as a foreign-exchange student for only a couple months. They’d snatched him up and adopted him the minute he landed. Gorgeous guy from <span style="background-color: yellow;">Ireland</span> with impossibly adorable accent equaled immediate in with the VIPs.<br /><br />“I’ll have you know a guy can deliver flowers as well as a girl can,” Finn continued. <br /><br />“Perhaps better.” He gave a slight bow and whipped a bouquet of daisies from behind his back. <br /><br />My dad always gave me daisies. “More flourish and technique.”<br /><br />An insufferably amused smile curled the corners of his full lips. I noted a dimple on his left cheek and added it to the list of his irksome qualities. I looked away from him, out the window, anywhere else.<br /><br />“I’ve seen you around school before,” he said thoughtfully. “You seem different somehow, up close.”<br /><br />Did he have to point it out? “I’ve been sick.” I was sure he heard the word “moron” at the end of my sentence, even if I didn’t say it.<br /><br />“Right. Well, I imagine being in the hospital would make anyone cross. Or is this your normal disposition?” he asked, setting the flowers on the bedside table and arranging a few stems to his liking.<br /><br />I glanced sideways at him. “Yes.”<br /><br />Finn leaned in and adjusted my pillow. He was so close I could see the faintest hint of a tattoo reaching up from his chest to his neck. I had an intense, irrational desire to know what the tattoo was, and it was all I could do to fight the forceful urge to pull his T-shirt collar down for a better look.<br /><br />Finn smiled a pirate’s smile, rogue and full of mischief. His gaze flitted from my hand back to my eyes, and I realized I had grabbed Finn’s T-shirt and still had it wound tightly in my fist.<br /><br />Startled and flushing, I released him. The impulse had been powerful, overwhelming, but how could it make me act without any awareness or control? It was disturbing. I drew the sheet up to my chin, wishing I could sink into myself and disappear like a TV fading to black.<br /><br />Clearly, the fever had fried a few brain cells, but still I recognized his tattoo—three interconnected spirals spreading like the traces of fingertips over the left side of Finn’s chest, teasing up to his collarbone.<br /><br />I’d seen the triple spiral before. It was a symbol carved into the megalithic stones of Newgrange, one of the world’s oldest prehistoric sites atop a grassy hill in Ireland—older even than Stonehenge or the Great Pyramids. Though the symbol of the three spirals had been hijacked by Celts, Wiccans, and even Christianity over time, no one had a clue as to the original meaning of the carving. I had a picture of it in my Ireland scrapbook.<br /><br />I longed to ask him about it, to feed my hunger for all things Irish, but I couldn’t hoist myself over the wall of pride I’d already erected. Not to mention swimming through the moat of embarrassment after grabbing his shirt like an idiot. “Sorry,” I murmured.<br /><br />“Cross is okay,” Finn said, low and husky in a way that underscored his words. “There’s not a sailor on the planet who doesn’t love the challenge of a good storm.” I could see the smile in his eyes and how he fought to keep it from his lips.<br /><br />We eyed each other. A deeper gaze than anyone besides my father had ever dared to hold with me. It was unnerving, but I was determined not to be the first to break it. The VIPs could smell weakness. I might be the quiet type, but I was not in the mood to be toyed with.<br /><br />Finn studied me a moment more. “Your eyes remind me of home,” he finally said, and walked out.</blockquote>

In another life, I could have
been a filmmaker. I’ve chosen books and writing, and I’m happy with my
decision, but I still have a special place in my heart for the art of
film.
<br />
<br />
That’s what makes this so cool for me. A trailer! For my book! Maybe
I’m just a visual person. Maybe I’m a sucker for epic soundtracks. But
watching this fan trailer makes me absolutely giddy.<br />
<br />
Check it out! <br />

A huge, huge thanks to my amazing twin sister, Diana, for putting
this together for me! It truly encapsulates the feel of RELIC. Watching
this the first time, I got goosebumps (and okay, maybe cried a little,)
because it just IS my book. It’s completely perfect.<br />
<br />

It's now even easier to enter! See below***** </span><br />
<br />
August is here! And for me, that means one incredible thing: Relic comes out THIS. MONTH. And so, it’s time for my Big, Huge, Awesome Relic Pre-Order Contest! <br />
<br />
Why am I so excited about this contest? Because EVERYONE who enters can get a prize! And it’s a really-really-cool-omg-i’m-so-excited-to-show-you prize.<br />
<br />
So, as you may know, in the world of Relic, fantasy creatures like the dragon and mermaid once existed, but are now long extinct. Their bones, however, retain their magical properties. These relics are a rare, precious commodity that are mined and traded and sold around the world.<br />
<br />
In my book, the characters occasionally consult a relic almanac, a field guide of sorts, that lists, identifies, and catalogues the many relics out there. From the beginning, I dreamed about letting you all see a peek inside one of these texts. And now, thanks to the AMAZING talents of Jared Rawle (a fantastic new artist I suspect we will be seeing much more from soon), you can all have an authentic relic almanac page of your own!<br />
<br />
Here is just a tiny peek at one page:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdn0oeI5w00_3X_Yilwuhr_tEmPk1xzaymgdI4l3qFonOMy5Cbo3aT98UfEwjIgo3LEP85Pr0K-UGO51cYqKcvLapI7YlRhc4Xy4Qzm54tRZxwaQEG5OKDViSTvurjiMjQGIJChDGrNUg/s1600/almanac+page+teaser.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="145" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdn0oeI5w00_3X_Yilwuhr_tEmPk1xzaymgdI4l3qFonOMy5Cbo3aT98UfEwjIgo3LEP85Pr0K-UGO51cYqKcvLapI7YlRhc4Xy4Qzm54tRZxwaQEG5OKDViSTvurjiMjQGIJChDGrNUg/s320/almanac+page+teaser.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Intrigued?? Wait until you see the whole thing! Each one truly is a work of art.<br />
<br />
For my pre-order contest, <b>EVERY PERSON </b>that enters will be sent their own digital relic almanac page! <br />
<br />
There are eight pages, with eight different fantasy creatures. I won’t say which ones, because I want it to be a surprise! Also, the distribution of pages will be proportionate to the distribution of relics in Maggie’s world, so you’re more likely to get one of the common creatures, but you could get lucky and get a rare one!<br />
<br />
Which relic will YOU get?<br />
<br />
But there’s more! By entering the Relic Pre-Order Contest, you will be eligible to win one of three fantastic prize packages! <br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<b>2nd Prize: A set of ALL EIGHT relic almanac pages, printed and signed by me and my amazing artist, Jared!</b><br />

<b>1st Prize: A printed, signed set of all eight relic almanac pages AND a gorgeous, handmade relic amulet! </b><br />

<br />
You’re wondering, how do I enter? It’s an easy, two-step process:<span style="color: red;">(***Now even easier***)</span><br />
<br />
<b>1. Pre-order Relic! </b><br />
<br />
Both paper and ebooks count. You can do that at <a href="http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/relic-renee-collins/1114511527?ean=9781622660148">Barnes and Noble</a>, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Relic-Entangled-Teen-Renee-Collins/dp/1622660145/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1375886755&sr=8-1&keywords=relic+renee+collins">Amazon</a>, <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/relic/id616499129?mt=11&ign-mpt=uo%3D4">iTunes</a>, <a href="http://www.booksamillion.com/p/Relic/Renee-Collins/9781622660148?id=5758869095642">Books-A-Million</a> or <a href="http://www.bookdepository.com/Relic-Renee-Collins/9781622660148">The Book Depository</a>. If you’ve already pre-ordered Relic, you are (of course!) eligible.<br />
<b><br /></b>
<span style="color: red;"><b>2. Enter the Rafflecopter below! *OR* send a short email to reliccontest@gmail.com letting me know you've pre-ordered Relic!</b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;">***It's that simple! You no longer need to show proof of purchase, unless you win one of the three main prizes, (in which case, I will verify that you bought it when you said you did, only since the prizes have monetary value.)***</span><br />
<br />
<a class="rafl" href="http://www.rafflecopter.com/rafl/display/791f140/" id="rc-791f140" rel="nofollow">a Rafflecopter giveaway</a>
<script src="//d12vno17mo87cx.cloudfront.net/embed/rafl/cptr.js"></script><br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: red;">**Note 1: If you enter with the Rafflecopter, you will still need to send an email to <b>reliccontest@gmail.com</b>, if you want your digital relic amulet page. But remember, no proof or purchace. It can be a simple, "Hey! I ordered Relic today!" or "I ordered Relic six weeks ago." etc. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;">And to be clear, it's not required to email if you don't care for an almanac page. You can just stick with the Rafflecopter, if you choose.**</span><br />
<br />
Note 2: Given the craziness of my schedule, it may take me a little while to get the almanac pages to you, but don’t despair! I promise it will come!<br />
<br />
Note 3: Due to the high rate of shipping to international locations, the First Runner Up and Grand Prize are open to US residents only. HOWEVER, you are still eligible for the Second Runner Up prize of all eight relic amulet pages, printed and signed. AND international entrants will definitely get their digital relic almanac page, as promised!<br />
<br />
And there’s one other way to get extra entries. Once you’ve received your amazing, beautiful relic amulet page: spread the word! Tweet which relic almanac page you got, using the hashtag #MyRelic and a link to this blog post. For example:<br />
<br />
<i>I pre-ordered RELIC by Renee Collins, and #MyRelic is a dragon! *link*</i><br />
or<br />
<i>#MyRelic is a Yeti! Pre-order RELIC by Renee Collins to see what YOU get! *link*</i><br />
<br />
Throughout the contest, I’ll make note of the tweets in the #MyRelic hashtag, and make sure to assign extra special bonus points accordingly. <br />
<br />
<br />
And that’s the contest! I hope you will all enter! There are some fantastic prizes. And admit it, you’re curious which relic you will get and what amazing powers it will bring you. Your life may change forever!!! <br />
<br />Renee Collinshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08170818341212519937noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-596841536992827351.post-79015641708009446652013-05-21T10:49:00.002-06:002013-05-26T08:36:17.905-06:00Blurbs! While preparing to write this post, I've decided that "blurb" is one of the stranger words in the Writing World vernacular. Say it five times, and you'll see that I'm right.<br />
<br />
Sometimes it sounds like an expression of distaste. "Bluuuuuuurb." And that's ironically appropriate. The process of procuring blurbs for your novel is universally agreed upon to be one of the least fun aspects of getting published. The whole situation feels a lot like asking the coolest guy in school to the Prom. The fear of rejection runs strong. Personal insecurities blossom. <br />
<br />
But then! Sometimes you hit the jackpot. I feel that way about my experience. Today I'm so excited to share with you some of the amazing blurbs I've received for <i>Relic</i>. I feel so lucky and grateful! Just look at them!<br />
<br />
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br />
<br />
<i>"Weaving the allure of the Old West with layers of magic, Collins' debut is an intriguing, enchanting ride."</i> -Kiersten White, NYT bestselling author of the PARANORMALCY<i> </i>series, MIND GAMES, and the upcoming CHAOS OF STARS.<br />
<br />
<br />
"<i>RELIC is like nothing else I've read - a historical fantasy
teeming with ghost coyotes, duplicitous Haciendos, sexy cowboys, and
dangerous relic magic. I loved spending time in Collins' magnificent
reimagining of the Old West!"-</i>Jessica Spotswood, author of BORN WICKED and the upcoming STAR CURSED. <br />
<br />
<i>"A magically romantic tale of how the West should’ve been
won. Collins’ debut drew me in and held me until the breathtaking end." -</i>Kasie West, author of PIVOT POINT and the upcoming THE DISTANCE BETWEEN US.<br />
<br />
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br />
<br />
See why I'm over the moon? Kasie, Kiersten, and Jessica are all authors that I knew of long before <i>Relic</i>. I've read their books. I've loved their books. So, to have them read and love mine is a feeling unlike any other. When I got each of their emails, you better believe I was doing the happy dance around my living room.<br />
<br />
To Jessica, Kiersten, and Kasie: I know I already said it, but let me publicly thank you again. It means so much to me that you took the time to read my book. And of course, it's also pretty dang amazing that you loved my book. So THANK YOU! If I could, I would bake you the sugary treat of your choice. <br />
<br />
So in conclusion, while the process of gathering blurbs may not seem like fun at first, in the end, it's really pretty fantastic. Which is why, the word also works an exclamation of delight. Come on. Say it with me "BLURB!!!"<br />

Today, I am hosting Jessica Shirvington on my website for the YA Scavenger Hunt!<br />
<br />
Embrace was Jessica's first novel. She has since followed with Entice, Emblaze, and ENDLESS, and the final book in the series is due for release in 2014.<br />
The books have now sold into eight international markets and the CW Network, along with Steven Spielberg's Amblin Entertainment and CBS Studios are currently developing Violet's story as a potential television drama.<br />
Born and raised in Sydney, Australia, Jessica and her ex-olympian husband of 12 years share two gorgeous daughters. When asked why she chooses to write YA, she says the answer is simple. She never considered writing anything else."</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
When you are hanging off the edge of a volcano, how do you make the most important decision of your life? For Violet Eden the decisions between right and wrong are getting harder and harder. Because apparently being a half-angel Grigori doesn't always make you right.<br />
Where is the good in having to choose between the life of her best friend and saving humanity? How does she balance a soul-crushing need for her Grigori partner, Lincoln, and the desire to keep him safe at all costs? And what if the darkest exile angel of all, Phoenix, isn't as bad as she thought?<br />
Violet has one chance to make the right choice...</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Here's the awesome exclusive content for EMBLAZE!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>Deleted scene from Chapter Two.</b><b>(The opening scene in Chapter One of EMBLAZE later replaced this.)</b><br />
<br />
Steph did a good job of hiding it, but I noticed her stiffen as we neared the door – and for good reason. I already knew what was out there. <br />
<br />
‘Better you than me I guess,’ she said, eyeing off the barely-bad weather, pulling out her Burberry umbrella. ‘How many do you think there’ll be today?’ she asked, like it was now an ordinary question.<br />
<br />
‘Of us or them?’ <br />
<br />
She considered. ‘Both.’<br />
<br />
I focused on my senses, a little of my amethyst mist rising from me and then floating lightly to the ground where it then disappeared. Steph didn’t see. Humans couldn’t see a lot of things. I’d explained it to her before, but it was one of those see-it-to-believe-it things. <br />
<br />
I bit down on my lip and concentrated on my feet not picking up pace. ‘Griffin said to expect two Grigori.’ But there was three I realised unhappily. I knew full well who that third Grigori was. ‘As for them...’ I grabbed a hold of the door and swung it open. ‘Only one today.’ <br />
<br />
Spence walked out, unperturbed and I looked over my shoulder to Steph who had paused at the door. ‘I’ll let you know when the coast is clear.’ <br />
<br />
Steph nodded. This would only take a minute. <br />
<br />
I was so sick of being cockroach bait.<br />
<br />
I don’t know why Phoenix kept sending exiles to fight me. The schedule had become repetitive and almost easy to stay on top of. School – sometimes before, sometimes after – and outside my home at night. <br />
<br />
Other than consuming people’s time and annoying me – it achieved nothing. Only sending one or two at a time, usually newly exiled and not much of a challenge – the worst that had happened on our side was a few broken bones. Hardly worth his loss in numbers and, tactically, none of us could work it out.<br />
<br />
I took in the after school scene. A few stragglers were hopping into cars, or walking down the sidewalk towards the bus stop. I spotted our friendlies, Beth and Archer, strategically positioned across the road. <br />
<br />
I couldn’t see the third Grigori but I could sense him further afield. I was fairly certain Griffin hadn’t felt he was needed. But like most days, Lincoln tended to think otherwise.<br />
<br />
‘Damn well lurking,’ I mumbled under my breath. <br />
<br />
Spence took position at the top of the steps as I sprung lightly down the stairs and dumped my bag. It only took about thirty seconds for the exile to emerge. Right on cue and eyes only for me.<br />
<br />
He was young. I was willing to bet he hadn’t been here for more than a year or two. Millennia of existence as an angel really didn’t prepare them for human forms. He looked awkward in his body, like it was almost the wrong fit. No surprises it was male. From their point of view male forms were the superior, females the lesser race with the added disadvantage of monthly bloodletting. <br />
<br />
Idiots.<br />
<br />
He didn’t look more than me and his bright red hair looked suspiciously like a failed attempt at a mohawk. <br />
<br />
He clearly expected me to be scared of him, and well, I was. But I guess I’d be a lot more scared of him if he was intelligent enough to know that already, behind him, two more kickass Grigori had moved in. This was four against one. Five if I counted Lincoln.<br />
<br />
The exile started to stalk me. He was about to make his move. Archer moved in, too, but I wasn’t interested in being saved by anyone. I leapt into the fight zone and got the formalities out of the way. <br />
<br />
‘Humanity or judgement?’<br />
<br />
He struck me across the face.<br />
<br />
Not exactly an answer, but good enough. <br />
<br />
I responded using the same form of communication.<br />
<br />
The exile was surprisingly resilient. He took the hit, which came at him with deadly force and barely stumbled. Instead, he ducked and grabbed me at the waist, twisting my body as he did and slamming me back first, onto the concrete ground. My head hit hard. Damn.<br />
<br />
I got up in time but Archer was already there. Uninterested in my desire to hold my own and only concerned with getting the job done, he put a foot into the exiles thigh from a side angle, taking him by surprise and breaking his leg. Before the exile fell to the ground, Archer’s dagger had finished the job.<br />
<br />
Shit. He’d been an amateur but still, he’d bettered me.<br />
<br />
I put my hands on my hips and refused to feel the back of my head for blood. I knew it was there without seeing it but it wasn’t bad. ‘I had him.’<br />
<br />
Beth joined Archer’s side. <br />
<br />
Partners.<br />
<br />
A thought that only hurt as I looked beyond them to where Lincoln hovered in the shadows. <br />
Archer sheathed his dagger as Beth looked around making sure we hadn’t had an audience. <br />
<br />
‘Griffin said you have a training session to get to,’ Archer said, a small smile in his voice. He was old hat. Archer’s training days were long since done.<br />
<br />
I picked up my bag and gave Steph a half-assed coast-is-clear wave. She’d already moved closer to where Spence was still hanging out anyway. ‘Whatever. I still had him.’<br />
<br />
‘Course you did kid, just thought you’d want to get on with your day,’ Archer said with a cheeky wink. </div>

So for me, from the very beginning, one of the top author milestones I dreamed of has been getting a cover for my book. I've always been a huge cover junkie. Whenever I see "COVER REVEAL" tweets, I always click the link. It's just fun to see a story represented in pictures and photographs, instead of words. So, needless to say, I've been waiting VERY anxiously to see what the amazing team at Entangled comes up with for the cover for RELIC.<br />
<br />
And guys, I was not disappointed. I'm so thrilled with this cover, I can't even tell you! And I'm beyond excited to share it with you all. <br />
<br />
<br />
There are some AMAZING blogs helping out with the reveal. I even included two exclusive excerpts, which you can find at the different locations. Head over to any of the following to see the beautiful, amazing cover for RELIC!<br />

A couple years ago, at a writer's conference, a few of my best writer pals and I were hanging out, chatting, and sharing bits of our WiPs. I clearly remember my friend <a href="http://jennjohansson.blogspot.com/">Jenn Johansson</a> reading a snippet of hers, a book called INSOMNIA. I thought, this book will go places.<br />
<br />
Then, a few months later, I read the book, and I KNEW it would go places.<br />
<br />
And sure enough, I was right! (I have a sense about these things, people.) INSOMNIA is creepy, dark, and heart-pounding. And now it has an amazing cover to match!<br />

<br />
Anyway, as part of the blog, each week we play a round of truth or dare with our readers. Well, I took my first dare this week. I had to draw a scene from my book in story board format. And since I did all the work already, I might as well post here on my woebegone little blog.<br />
<br />
So, with no further ado, I present, a scene from RELIC!<br />

I can't believe I'm actually writing this post, guys. It's one of those key moments that every bright-eyed newb writer dreams of. I'm sure, years ago, I would have planned a long, gushy post, adorned with many exclamation points and PHRASES IN ALL CAPS to relay this news.<br />
<br />
Today, I find myself at a lack for words. So I'll let Publisher's Marketplace do the talking for me:<br />

I'm just so grateful. Grateful, happy, thrilled, and rather moved,
actually. (Tears may have been shed in the writing of this little post.) In the coming days, I'll write more about getting to this moment. Though, I do have to include one of my other favorite key moments in this post. The contract signing photo! My favorite!<br />

PIVOT POINTGUYS. So, I have this friend, Kasie West, who is pretty much the bomb.<br />
<br />
No, it's true. Not only is she incredibly fun, nice, and down to earth, she's also an absolutely brilliant writer. I was lucky enough to read her debut novel, PIVOT POINT, years ago. Back when she was slogging through the query trenches, hoping and dreaming. I knew PIVOT POINT would take off. It was too amazing not to. And it has!<br />
<br />
I'm SO excited for her to finally be able to reveal her cover to the world. Go <a href="http://www.yabookscentral.com/blogs/12699-exclusive-cover-reveal-pivot-point-by-kasie-west">marvel</a>! Go <a href="http://www.yabookscentral.com/blogs/12699-exclusive-cover-reveal-pivot-point-by-kasie-west">gaze</a>! Go <a href="http://www.yabookscentral.com/blogs/12699-exclusive-cover-reveal-pivot-point-by-kasie-west">ooo and ahhh</a>! <br />

And as you do all those things, know this: the actual book is even MORE amazing than that gorgeous cover.<br />

I know, right? <span style="font-style:italic;">Who knew</span>???<br /><br />*pauses while your sarcasm detection meter explodes*<br /><br />Seriously now, I think we can all agree that The Hunger Games is probably the "biggest deal" in teen books right now, thanks to the premiere of the movie. I'm amazed to see the range of my friends and acquaintances who are all pumped up about the books and or movie. Can we agree HG is approaching Twilight/Harry Potter status? <br /><br />And here's the interesting part. With this huge surge in the awareness on the fabric of pop culture, out have trotted the haters. Haters! Where would we be without them? (Sorry, I'm really doing a number on your sarcasm meter today.)<br /><br />I've formulated a theory over the years. Here's the scenario.<br /><br />1-Neat Book comes out.<br />2-Neat Book is neat, so it gathers fans.<br />3-Neat Book grows rapidly in popularity. As with any books, there are a few people who aren't fans, but by and in large, people like or love it.<br />4-Neat Book gets so huge they decide to make a movie of it.<br />5-Neat Book is delivered to the proletarian masses.<br />6-HATERS UNITE!<br />7-Rabid fans of Neat Book defend to the death. Haters sneer at their pathetic attempts, become even more convinced they're right.<br />8-Eventually, when each side is sick enough of each other, the war dies down.<br />9-Like the final step in the grief cycle, we end with acceptance.<br /><br />I propose to you that Harry Potter has gone through such a progression. He's enjoying step 9 now. Twilight as well, though I'd say she's between step 7 and step 8. And now The Hunger Games. I'm thinking we're arriving at step 6. I've seen a marked up tick in people bashing The Hunger Games in recent months. <br /><br />All of this makes me think. So here's the question I pose to you, gentle reader. Does a book's intense fame create the haters? Or does that fame simply introduce it to a larger swathe of the population, some of which would have hated it regardless? It's an interesting question to consider.<br /><br />Sometimes I wonder if people consider fame in the Teen Book market a "zero sum game." Sociologist Max Weber defines this as a fixation some social groups have that "there is only a limited amount of prestige for its members to share in and only a fixed quantity of attention, authority and material resources that its members can give to each other. Status is a relative value, so for someone to rise in status, another person must fall." <br /><br />Let me be clear. I'm not saying that the only reason someone might dislike a popular book is jealousy. Au contraire, mon ami. I'm simply pondering the phenomenon of a huge book gaining a sudden, swift increase in rather vocal haters. To quote the Double Rainbow Guy: What does it mean???<br /><br />What do you think?

I'm blogging. What's up with that? <br /><br />Truth is, as should be obvious by now, ye old blog has taken a far back seat to other social networks in my world. You can find all the Renee you need on Twitter. I promise, I'm WAY more active there. Also, I'm on Facebook. But that said, this blog isn't going away. It may get a makeover in the coming weeks, but I'll still keep her around for the occasional post of exciting updates, (hopefully I have some of those,) or random thoughts on my mind, (like the blog post you are about to read.)<br /><br />So, without further ado, I give you random thoughts . . . *clears throat*<br /><br />Writing and dating. Oh, the many ways they are similar. (If I were a more diligent and dedicated blogger, I would have links to my favorite posts from other writers on the subject, but alas.)<br /><br />I've done a lot of thinking lately about one particular way the metaphor of writing=dating is applicable to me. To start, let me give you a picture of what I was like when I was younger and single. To quote the cliche: I wore my heart on my sleeve. And I gave that heart away freely. (Definitely too freely, but that's a whole different post . . .) I've always been open with my feelings and opinions, and dating was no different. Once I met a guy I connected with, I plunged in without hesitation. I fell in love many times, and I guess I'm not ashamed of that. Being open to love is a good thing, right?<br /><br />With writing, strangely, it's been completely the opposite. For whatever reason, all that open, dive-into-your-feeling mindset went out the window. I was one of those girls in the RomComs who's "afraid to love." I built up a wall around my heart, REFUSING to let any book in. I told myself I was being "realistic and business-like" about it all. I wasn't getting swept away. I was strong, calm, and rational. <br /><br />Until now. <br /><br />Guys, I'm scared. I'm scared because I've let a book in. Well, technically, I let it in last summer, but this feeling isn't going away. I'm so very much in love with this book. As I prepare myself to go on sub again, I'm trying to steel up my heart and emotionally detach like I always do, but I can't do it. I also can't ward off the lovely dreams that drift into my mind and heart when I'm not paying attention. <br /><br />At first, it was TERRIFYING. It still is some moments.<br /><br />But you know? I think it's time. After the YEARS I've put into writing, it's time I really fought for my dreams. It's time I believed in myself. It's time to let myself fall in love. So here I go. Standing on the edge of the cliff. Eyes closed, heart full, diving in head first. <br /><br />And I don't regret a thing.Renee Collinshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08170818341212519937noreply@blogger.com18tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-596841536992827351.post-7071802433877715292011-12-14T11:15:00.008-07:002011-12-14T12:18:13.883-07:00My Scariest Moment, and the Happy EndingIf there's one thing I think we writers can all agree on, it's that this business we're in is no picnic. For the few, fleeting high moments, we face low lows, huge emotional costs, endless hours of drudgery, and even terrifying moments where we come face to face with our fears. <br /><br />A few months ago, I faced one such moment. I didn't draw any attention to it on Twitter or my blog, but some of you might have notice that I erased my agent's name from my profile. To put it briefly, I faced one of those terrifying scenarios that no fresh-faced, dreamy-eyed writer embarking into the Query Trenches ever wants to imagine:<br /><br />What if I finally land an agent, but then things don't work out?<br /><br />I won't go into the details here, but suffice it to say that my former agent is a lovely, smart, capable person. Anyone would be lucky to have her. And yet, for she and I, things simply didn't go in the direction I hoped. <br /><br />The realization that things weren't working crept up on me slowly. At first, I avoided looking at it. Then, as it grew louder in my mind, I tried the equivalent of plugging my ears and humming Jingle Bells. The people-pleaser in me even tried to insist that my former agent was a perfectly nice person and I would be a total jerk to leave her.<br /><br />But the truth wouldn't go away. And that moment, that realization that truly my best option was to part ways with my agent and go back to Square One, was the scariest moment I've had so far in my writing career.<br /><br />I felt sick to my stomach for days. The only thing that kept me going was my belief and love for the new book I'd been writing. That, and the absolutely invaluable support of my wonderful, amazing friends and twin sister. Still, it was a dark, terrifying feeling to be alone again. To be back where I'd started. <br /><br />And then, I asked myself "So what?" Yes, it sucked to be agentless again. But so what? What was I going to do? Give up? After all the work, over all those years? After the tears and sweat and fighting? <br /><br />Giving up simply wasn't an option. <br /><br />So I finished my novel. I edited my heart out. I crafted yet another query letter. I researched agents. I took a deep breath and started querying again. <br /><br />And you already know this story has a happy ending. Indeed, it does. <br /><br />I am beyond thrilled to announce that I have signed with<a href="http://www.foundrymedia.com/"> Mollie Glick of Foundry Literary + Media!</a><br /><br />I'm grateful that I didn't ignore that terrifying truth screaming in my head. It would have been easier. It would have been less work. But as I said at the beginning of this post, our business is no picnic. And fighting through the darkness is what we writers do best.Renee Collinshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08170818341212519937noreply@blogger.com36tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-596841536992827351.post-44050885768190551412011-09-23T09:59:00.007-06:002011-09-23T11:27:57.091-06:00To the Revisions Cave!You read that right, and you all know what that means.

(YAYYYYYYY!) I spent a few days on that delicious, unmatched high that comes with completing a novel. The joy! The relief! The sense of accomplishment! The promise of possibility!
<br />
<br />Ah, if only it lasted. Alas, that rush doesn't hold on long. Why, you may ask? Because after a short edit, I sent my baby off to beta readers.
<br />
<br />Don't get me wrong, my beta readers are FABULOUS. I love each and every one of them. But still, I find myself struggling as I become the dreaded Beta Waita. (Or Beta Waiter, as in one who is waiting on betas. I know, I know, my cheesy slang is confusing.)
<br />
<br />It's kind of terrifying. I mean, they're actually <span style="font-style:italic;">reading</span> my book!! And they're gonna think things about it! And they're gonna read that one scene that isn't so tight! And they might think it's LAME! Or they might say they like it, but SECRETLY think it's lame!
<br />
<br />Is your book with beta readers right now? If so, here's a helpful list of things you can do to pass the time!
<br />
<br />1. Rock back and forth, alone with your thoughts.
<br /><a href="http://s1003.photobucket.com/albums/af152/xExOxLx/gifs/?action=view&current=stewiebeingscared.gif" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1003.photobucket.com/albums/af152/xExOxLx/gifs/stewiebeingscared.gif" border="0" alt="Family Guy: Stewie rocking back and forth"></a>
<br />
<br />2. Consume calories.

<br />
<br />3. Crying always helps.

<br />I'm so helpful, right?? No need to thank me.

<br />
<br />Jenn's book just sold in ITALY as well!!! Molto bene! If I were in Utah, I would take her to Olive Garden to celebrate. Hmmm . . . maybe I will just go to Olive Garden here, and think of Jenn. Yes, that's a good plan. :)
<br />

<br />
<br />Guys, by now you should know that I am a Slacker Blogger in the extreme. But today, I am going to out do myself in slackerly ways.
<br />
<br />So, I have this fantabulous friend named <a href="http://jennjohansson.blogspot.com/">Jenn</a> (or J.R Johannson as she's known online,) and she wrote this AMAZING and SCARY book called INSOMNIA. I got to read it before it was unleashed onto the hungry publishing world, and man, did I SO call it that she was going to sell.
<br />
<br />Well, sure enough: SHE DID!!! AT AUCTION!!
<br />
<br />Here's the problem. This happened a couple weeks ago, and I've been totally planning to write a YAY JENN post on my blog. But as I pointed out at the start of this post, I am clearly a slacker.
<br />
<br />So, here's my post, but I'm not just going to be a slacker by putting it up late. Oh no. I can go much worse. I'm going to surpass own slackerishness by actually just sending you to my friend <a href="http://candicekennington.blogspot.com/">Candice</a>'s blog. She wrote a hilarious YAY JENN post, and I thought, "You know, that's much better than I can do, so why try?"
<br />
<br />Therefore, <a href="http://candicekennington.blogspot.com/2011/08/guide-to-reading-jr-johansson.html">GO HERE</a>! And celebrate Jenn's triumph (and Candice's sense of humor.)
<br />
<br />YAY for slacking! And YAY FOR JENN!!!Renee Collinshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08170818341212519937noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-596841536992827351.post-42338986064139260832011-07-26T20:39:00.005-06:002011-07-26T21:04:40.551-06:00RechargedAs you may have noticed (and may or may not have cared,) I've been absent for a while from ye old blog. I can't account for most of those days, but this last weekend, I've been AWOL. With these gals. We were all hanging out at a writer's retreat in the desert. These ladies pretty much rock. The desert rocks as well. (Who knew, right?)<br /><br />Here we are.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijO-tubOnyDS62NOvN3FL4bsHxv2EwpBa8kx0R7pN4cW2dVg3jr4yGzLTJykFXyrWLhsmQp4658lnNQUHnuIC7XQqRiIlM_sRKbPYdwkU_qe7TC65lbdeXmVg8WRxD73bvX67ktxGKgus/s1600/IMG_1397.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijO-tubOnyDS62NOvN3FL4bsHxv2EwpBa8kx0R7pN4cW2dVg3jr4yGzLTJykFXyrWLhsmQp4658lnNQUHnuIC7XQqRiIlM_sRKbPYdwkU_qe7TC65lbdeXmVg8WRxD73bvX67ktxGKgus/s400/IMG_1397.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5633859806322404866" /></a>From left to right: <a href="http://theinnocentflower.blogspot.com/">Michelle</a>, me, <a href="http://candicekennington.blogspot.com/">Candice</a>, <a href="http://jennjohansson.blogspot.com/">Jenn</a>, <a href="http://kasiewest.blogspot.com/">Kasie</a>, <a href="http://seesarawrite.blogspot.com/">Sara</a>, and <a href="http://betweenfactandfiction.blogspot.com/">Natalie</a>.<br /><br /><br />Though this picture is more accurate, I think.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitHguGtYU-lohMyeR3KXT3TONjNidIZXi23OoV6HPaAwsnM-h8-ZPGe9Vc7R_wOr1r8VJIpUMSI67Ye-o8q03rN6eem9dSpsvjkBVAaMefmseHuVR8HgukpdV-ALtxpvF3HdU1IFzSQSA/s1600/IMG_1394.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitHguGtYU-lohMyeR3KXT3TONjNidIZXi23OoV6HPaAwsnM-h8-ZPGe9Vc7R_wOr1r8VJIpUMSI67Ye-o8q03rN6eem9dSpsvjkBVAaMefmseHuVR8HgukpdV-ALtxpvF3HdU1IFzSQSA/s400/IMG_1394.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5633859811130270290" /></a><br /><br />Anyway, now I'm all recharged and brimming with writerly thoughts. Thanks to them, I have ideas for more blog posts, which will come soon. Until then, the only possible useful purpose I can give for this post (other than trying to prevent this from turning into a once-a-month type of blog,) is to say that having writer friends has been the NUMBER ONE smartest thing I've done for my writing career. No question. If you don't have friends who are writers in your genre, get some! Be brave. Be friendly. Be outgoing online. You'll be glad that you did.Renee Collinshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08170818341212519937noreply@blogger.com21tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-596841536992827351.post-43424229935870505892011-07-07T08:47:00.003-06:002011-07-07T09:09:06.607-06:00A Natalie Party!As you may be able to tell by now, I love throwing virtual parties on my blog. They're the best. There's no clean up, the refreshments are free, and you don't have to worry about awkward conversations with that weird guy who corners you by the punch bowl!<br /><br /> Well today, I'm throwing a very special party here on Midnight Meditations. A party for my fabulous friend<a href="http://betweenfactandfiction.blogspot.com/"> Natalie Whipple!</a> Because today, she is announcing her new TWO BOOK DEAL with HARPERTEEN!!!<br /><br />*passes out Dr Peppers* *throws confetti* *blasts dance jams over the speakers*<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjApAnj49yaX7PWj_s-5zdjzpv7zhqbju_uY3ZJHyuOezD-d6QpZ05IAb05LYklNZv4XwQHQCzFyBUGDE9B_t8a-bN3nNprMbFiUJ0q_l2IuAz0FEwKazabn17cRyi_xf87N6qarh7bMxk/s1600/IMG_6936.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjApAnj49yaX7PWj_s-5zdjzpv7zhqbju_uY3ZJHyuOezD-d6QpZ05IAb05LYklNZv4XwQHQCzFyBUGDE9B_t8a-bN3nNprMbFiUJ0q_l2IuAz0FEwKazabn17cRyi_xf87N6qarh7bMxk/s400/IMG_6936.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5626626784810928818" /></a><br />Here is the picture I told her she HAD to take. I mean, come on! Everybody loves the "Signing my book contract" pic!<br /><br />I imagine Natalie needs no introduction. She has an amazingly popular blog. In fact, you most likely already know her. You probably came over to my measly blog because you follow her blog. :) At any rate, Natalie is amazing. She's one of my earliest friends and critique partners. We've seen each other through high high's and low low's. She's talked me off the edge of the "I'm gonna give up on this stupid book" cliff many times. And I love her for that. Also, she's smart, a fabulous dresser, and a fantastic writer. NATALIE RULZ.<br /><br />So party hard here and my blog, and then head over to crash the party at <a href="http://betweenfactandfiction.blogspot.com/">her blog</a>! But today, there will be partying. Oh yes, there will be partying.Renee Collinshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08170818341212519937noreply@blogger.com11tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-596841536992827351.post-72995500997589884792011-07-05T10:19:00.009-06:002012-07-21T23:36:43.801-06:00No More FearWhen I first started writing seriously, I allowed myself big dreams. Dreams that glowed inside me as I drifted off to sleep at night. Dreams that tingled over my skin as I brushed the spines of books in the YA section. They made my heart beat fast when I read of other people's success online. These were the thoughts that made me get into this whole business in the start. The reason I write, if you will.<br /><br />Unfortunately, with time (and rejections,) those dreams started to no longer feel safe. Little by little, almost without realizing what I was doing, I built up a wall around them, closing them off inside me. I'd tell myself it was good. It meant I'd grown. I was smarter now. More realistic. In stronger moments, I'd sneer at my earlier self for being so "clueless." In weaker moments, I'd mourn the loss of those dreams.<br /><br />I've thought a lot about it in the past few weeks, and I've realized a very important thing. I haven't outgrown those dreams, or become to wise to have them. I've just been afraid of them. Plain and simple. I've been afraid to even look at or acknowledge them anymore.<br /><br />So today, I'm going to force myself to break through that wall. I'm not only going to accept that my dreams are still there, I'm going to share them with you. Believe me, I'm terrified. I've edited and deleted and rewritten this entire post. I've waffled over whether or not to even do it, because I'm honestly really scared to share these things. I'm afraid of looking stupid or vain or naive. I'm afraid of people reading this post a year from now and thinking, "haha, I guess her dreams didn't come true."<br /><br />But I need a breakthrough, guys. I need to do this. I'm not going to run away from my dreams anymore. They are still inside me, and they deserve to be acknowledged. So here goes.<br /><br />1. I dream of holding my own book in my hands. Printed books are special to me, always have been. To me, they are beautiful, powerful things, both figuratively and literally. I dream of the day when I can feel my story beneath my fingertips, smell the new pages, and gaze at the cover.<br /><br />2. I want to write an epic love story, one that makes people FEEL something when they read it. Longing or sadness or joy. I want to create characters that seem alive. I want to give those characters scenes that are beautiful.<br /><br />And last, the hardest one to actually write out. (Trust me, I've deleted it about ten times.)<br /><br />3. I dream of readers. I dream of a fan base. People that love my books and think about my books, and can't wait for the next one. To know that someone out there who doesn't know me personally is moved by my stories would be the most amazing feeling in the world.<br /><br /><br />What are your dreams? What is the reason you keep going? If you are like me, if you feel afraid of those dreams that once burned inside you, please, PLEASE share them now. I'd love to hear them.Renee Collinshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08170818341212519937noreply@blogger.com20tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-596841536992827351.post-17500199705851290462011-06-19T21:01:00.005-06:002011-06-19T22:47:40.496-06:00Blogs. (Blogs!) What are they good for?"It is a truth universally acknowledged, that writer trying to get published must be in want of a blog." -Jane Austen <span style="font-size:78%;">(Seriously. It's from one of her lesser-known works . . .)</span><br /><br />Ah, blogs. We all have them. We all struggle from time to time with how to fill them. We love them. We hate them. We feel like we have to keep them up, (it's called a platform, people!) but some days we kind of want to set a match to the thing. Indeed, blog angst is one of the time-honored rites of passage for a writer.<br /><br />Eventually, however, one of two things happens: the blog either dies a slow death, or the writer finds her groove.<br /><br />I've noticed a few common types in blogs, (though most have aspects of all.) Which one are you?<br /><br />1. The Advice Blog-These are usually pretty popular, because who doesn't want/need advice?<br /><br />2. The Entertainer-Sometimes witty, sometimes silly. Occasionally, adorned with cute animal photos.<br /><br />3. The Forum-This blog brings up interesting or hot topics of the writing world in the hopes of stirring up some stimulating debate in the comment's section.<br /><br />4. The Random Pontificator/Online Journal-Random would be the operative word here.<br /><br />And even the dreaded:<span style="font-size:100%;"><br />5. Blag (or Brog)</span>-Where the author makes sure to keep us up to date on his or her latest, gleaming triumph. And . . . that's pretty much the only reason they ever post.<br /><br />As for me, I've noticed my blog has fallen snugly into the category of Random Online Journal. I hardly ever try to think of post topics, I just blog when I have thoughts or news or the rare rant. Whatever's on my mind. I rarely feel that intense pressure to post anymore. (The fact that my last post was almost three weeks ago is strong evidence of this.) The truth is, I've come to realize that if I'm scraping to think of a post, it probably won't be that good. And if that means I only post once a week, I'm thinking that's just fine.<br /><br />What about you? What's your bloggy groove?Renee Collinshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08170818341212519937noreply@blogger.com25tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-596841536992827351.post-3140022027642003762011-06-06T22:01:00.004-06:002012-07-21T23:37:11.197-06:00Tapping into FearsI grew up in Hawaii. It really is paradise, guys. White, sandy beaches, swaying palms, et cetera. BUT it also has more than its share of "creepy crawlies." Roaches, spiders, geckos, and my nemisis: the centipede.
YES, they really are that big! And YES, they bite! And YES, they are PERVASIVE. Imagine those suckers crawling around in your house. Actually, don't imagine it, because it's just too disgusting/creepy.<br />
<br />
Personal story time: I was ten years old. Sleeping peacefully in my bed. I felt a weird pain on my foot, and began to dream that someone was pounding a nail into my toes. But that didn't wake me up. What woke me was the prickly, tickly feeling of sharp, little legs creeping up my arm. <br />
<br />
I shot up in bed, swiping the feeling away. Weird, I thought. That felt like a bug crawling on me. Then I thought: Huh, why does my foot hurt so bad?<br />
<br />
As the waves of sleep receded, I put two and two together. <br />
<br />
As you can imagine, this event rather traumatized me. I still am. Even though it's been over a decade since I left Hawaii, I still shake my blankets out every night before going to sleep. Just to make sure a centipede isn't curled up somewhere in there.<br />
<br />
So, how am I going to relate this to writing? Well, guess what kind of creatures show up in Searcher? Yep, centipedes. (BIG centipedes.) I'm not saying those are my best scenes in the book or anything, but they certainly were fun to write. It's one of the joys of what we do. We take these poor characters and force them to face our fears for us. They may defeat them (Jetta cuts a centipede's head off) or fall to them, it doesn't matter. You can always tell when those obstacles come right from the author's past.<br />
<br />
How about you? Which of your fears have showed up in your stories?Renee Collinshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08170818341212519937noreply@blogger.com27tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-596841536992827351.post-20897159033784204702011-05-30T11:37:00.007-06:002011-05-30T13:14:11.992-06:00The Outline-Pantser Hybrid MethodOutliner or Pantser? It's one of the most commonly asked questions/timeless debates in the writing community. Each side has its strengths. Each side has weaknesses. I've tried both. Here's what happened to me (and me alone. Not trying to make any sweeping statements here, guys.)<br /><br />When I was pure panster, I usually ran into a moment like this:<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLN4xQpmAs2Sktz0NCJI-reh7SXMFtOEPbrEBflbPHNiDZYPcotxr_Cl6stAbiauE5H289Fna-ywfk42Pjb_WnygU-SlAf74nZXpGSFwSWbKY_T881TAxId4Y9QG39VTDf_HljQGVho5E/s1600/goat-and-clouds.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 314px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLN4xQpmAs2Sktz0NCJI-reh7SXMFtOEPbrEBflbPHNiDZYPcotxr_Cl6stAbiauE5H289Fna-ywfk42Pjb_WnygU-SlAf74nZXpGSFwSWbKY_T881TAxId4Y9QG39VTDf_HljQGVho5E/s400/goat-and-clouds.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5612585238321489442" border="0" /></a>To be 150 pages in, only to crash land into the side of an enormous plot mountain kind of stinks. A lot. Oh sure, you crawl your way out, but it soaks up a lot of time, and drains vital confidence.<br /><br /><br />HOWEVER, the two times I faithfully outlined my entire book before writing, it ended up like this:<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSwnFuAapt1im7yFOpiXDKdGw7NjcCI0cbzv4Pr2Hxj6h7u-SgQhlNKnV6kOypurdvh7i71MZT_PTmqeV7qa3v-dfMO7LdHj5_-a5ABWNm9CxlyDcAwW1YUgG6srVjdeZFG_QifxYx9HU/s1600/1.1279214124.deflating-balloon-cappadocia-balloon-ride.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSwnFuAapt1im7yFOpiXDKdGw7NjcCI0cbzv4Pr2Hxj6h7u-SgQhlNKnV6kOypurdvh7i71MZT_PTmqeV7qa3v-dfMO7LdHj5_-a5ABWNm9CxlyDcAwW1YUgG6srVjdeZFG_QifxYx9HU/s400/1.1279214124.deflating-balloon-cappadocia-balloon-ride.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5612585237122902450" border="0" /></a>I'd be all excited while developing the outline, but when time came to actually write . . .it was gone. I'd squandered that heat on the planning phase.<br /><br />This has led (over the years) to the development of:<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;font-size:180%;" >The Outline-Pantser Hybrid Method</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" >Step 1:</span><span style="font-size:130%;"> </span>When Shiny New Idea strikes, take time to ponder before writing.<br />Even for Pantsers, I think it's a good idea to do this. Daydream about your world, your characters, and possible plot twists. I'm not recommending any single period of time, because some ideas come in more fleshed out than others. Just make sure you have a good grasp on the kind of story you see this becoming. And make sure you have one thing, vital to the OPH Method. . .<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" >Step 2:</span><span style="font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" > </span>Wait for that opening scene.<br />We all know how important the beginning is. Over my years of writing, that has only become more clear. So in this method, you need to have that awesome opener in mind. That scene is going to kick start your enthusiasm.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" >Step 3:</span> Put your Panster Pants on.<br />The OPH Method blends the best of each, right? And one of the benefits of being a Pantser is that you really are free to create and fall in love with your story. Work is important, but if there's too much work at the get go, you may well lose steam.<br /><br />So once you've fleshed out your story a bit in your head, and you have that great opening scene in mind, just go for it. WRITE. Let your imagination free. Go crazy with those first chapters. Fall in love. Be a pantser for all of Act 1. But then. . .<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" >Step 4:</span> </span>SCREECHING halt.<br />Time to get down to dirty work. Things need to start really getting going now, and we all know how important each chapter is. So, it's time to outline the rest of the book.<br /><br />This isn't an infallible document that must be obeyed slavishly. And it doesn't have to be incredibly detailed. But now is the time to really make sure you're on the right track. And to make sure it STAYS on the right track.<br /><br />I know, I know, it's hard. But so worth it. And I actually find it a big relief to have a solid outline. I know that every scene I write from here on out will serve a definite purpose. (Often two or three purposes.) And the best part is, you've already fallen for this story during Step 3, so the chances of you fizzling out now are slim.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" >Step 5:</span><span style="font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" > </span>Finish the book!!<br />With your outline in hand, dive back into that baby! Chances are, you'll be chomping at the bit. So run free, you majestic stallion. And be energized by the notion that all of this work is going pay off in a VERY sturdy rough draft.<br /><br /><br />So there it is. My humble method for drafting. It's led to my strongest rough draft to date, and my WiP is going so well, it's almost scary. Maybe it can work for you, maybe it can't. Like I said, different things work for different people. But it's always fun to figure out a way that works great.<br /><br />How about you? Has your method changed? Have you found your perfect process?Renee Collinshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08170818341212519937noreply@blogger.com22
