WRITER SPOTLIGHT JULY/AUGUST 2017<br />
The first story I remember writing was about<br />
fairies living in a circle of pine trees in my<br />
back yard. My first published story was in<br />
American Girl Magazine when I was fifteen,<br />
and it was about crabbing at the end of the<br />
beach with my cousin.<br />
As for short stories, constant tries before I had<br />
one accepted by a literary magazine. My “first”<br />
novel has never been published, but it found<br />
me my agent, Andrea Cirillo. I have been with<br />
her since the start of my career.<br />
1) Find a character who captivates you,<br />
whose story you need to tell.<br />
2) Write down your dreams. A lot of the<br />
story comes from your unconscious. Some<br />
people call it cogitating.<br />
3) Don’t censor yourself by thinking about<br />
what anyone will think: your mother, your<br />
boyfriend, your 6th grade teacher. Just let<br />
the work flow. You can always edit later.
