| Rose Valentine |
Author has written 12 stories for General, Young Adult, Horror, Humor, General, and Haiku. ~ WELCOME ~ So, welcome to my profile page, people. Here's some bits of info about me that I would like you all to know: Name: Mary Rose Valentine My Personal Philosophies: "In school, you are given a lesson to master, then a test will follow. In life, you are given a challenging test that'll teach you a life lesson." "Life is like a lemon - the sourest experiences will teach you the sweetest lessons." "If you want to get the best, you have to give your best." Writing Quotes: The pen is the tongue of the mind. Authors who never give you something to disagree with never give you anything to think about. We write to taste life twice, in the moment and in retrospection. The brain that doesn't feed itself, eats itself. First, find out what your hero wants. Then just follow him. It begins with a character, usually, and once he stands up on his feet and begins to move, all I can do is trot along behind him with a paper and pencil trying to keep up long enough to put down what he says and does. Each writer is born with a repertory company in his head and as you get older, you become more skillful casting them. Usually, when people get to the end of a chapter, they close the book and go to sleep. I deliberately write my books so when the reader gets to the end of a chapter, he or she must turn one more page. When people tell me I've kept them up all night, I feel like I've succeeded! Be like a duck, my mother used to tell me. Remain calm on the surface and paddle like hell underneath. Imagination is more important than knowledge. I never started from ideas but always from character. Writing fiction is a solitary occupation but not really a lonely one. The writer's head is mobbed with characters, images and language. It's better to write about things you feel than about things you know about. Breaking Point: Please bear while I repost this ... the beginning is loose, so had to tweak it a bit. -_~ Crimson Winter: The White Apocalypse: Undergoing major renovations ... I'm very sorry, but it badly needs to be rewritten! -_~ For all: You deserved a healthy, stress-free ride. Admit it. Have fun. | |||||||
