Mailbox Monday #Meme
Reading time: 2 – 2 minutes
Oct. 19th 2009
Yay! I just ordered some books, due to some recommendations. So now, I can officially do my Mailbox Monday (a #meme hosted by The Printed Page). I was talking to @BriMeetsBooks today and she recommended a book to help me write a YA novel. So I sat at the amazon.com website and thought, “What will I buy today?” I added stuff to my cart. I deleted stuff from my cart. I inevitably bought quite a few books (as usual). Here are some of the reads I selected.
- How to Write a Damn Good Novel: A Step-by-Step No Nonsense Guide to Dramatic Storytelling
- No Plot? No Problem!: A Low-Stress, High-Velocity Guide to Writing a Novel in 30 Days (Recommended by #NaNoWriMo)
- The Knife of Never Letting Go: Chaos Walking: Book One (Recommended by many on Twitter)
- Writing And Selling The Young Adult Novel (Recommended by @BriMeetsBooks)
- Plot & Structure: (Techniques And Exercises For Crafting A Plot That Grips Readers From Start To Finish) (Write Great Fiction)
So I have quite a bit of books coming my way – and all in preparation for #NaNoWriMo (Minus The Knife of Never Letting Go). I am rather excited.

Looks like you received a bunch of great writing books.
I received one as well this week for an upcoming WildCard tour.

Yes, I plan on writing a novel for NaNoWriMo. Plus, I have been wanting to complete a novel since I was a young child. So – it’s about time.

You’re certainly all set on the theory and practice front, aren’t you? Good luck with your writing and enjoy the reading as you prepare.

Well – I am a big reader so I like to read all sorts of things for inspiration and encouragement. Not necessarily to learn something new. Just sort of subtle reminders.
Thank you!
Anxious to hear what you think of the YA Writing book.
