I learn by reading writing books and magazines, by reading books by author's whose style I admire, by joining a critique group, and by taking classes--real and virtual.

One way I learned so much about writing was while coauthoring our middle grade Monster Moon series. Both coauthors are so talented, and each of us have different strengths. It was like an ongoing workshop, but was also like a party because we laughed so much and talked about fascinating topics and brainstormed together. I don't think I'll ever stop learning the craft of writing. Reading as much as possible is another wonderful way to learn. <br /><br />Merry Christmas to you and your family, Karen. May the New Year bring you abundant blessings!LynNerdKelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04167392990015741278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-855485928545677951.post-5623683949279615022012-12-18T22:35:37.449-05:002012-12-18T22:35:37.449-05:00As time allows, I read blogs on writing.

You always have something invaluable to share. Thanks. And Merry Christmas. <br /><br />I know there are no words to add to what everyone has already said about last week's tragedy. I'm sending prayers too, and I will take time to learn a little about each of the victims, just to carry on their impact on life.
