Rather than judge them as a wannabe, support them. Give them a hand. Love them despite their gaffs. Realize they are humans who hopefully someday will be great at what they do. That way, when you’re lucky enough to start establishing your own name, you have firm practice in how to see yourself. As a human who hopefully someday will be great at what you do. And good luck, truly.

Veronica Mars. I love that show with the kind of passion that makes full-grown women look like dorks.
After lots of daydreaming, I wanted to write a book where, instead of a private-investigator case going along with the main mystery like in VM, it was a mock trial case going along with the main mystery.
I languished on plot, though. I couldn't think of a setting! It's a strange thing to get hung up on. I tried several--Chicago, D.C., etc.
A year later, I read a book called There is Power in a Union by Philip Dray. Fascinating history. It concluded with the stories of some of the failed farm strikes in my native California. My grandpa was an orchard owner and I grew up alongside the kids of migrant workers.
I wasn't sure I was brave enough to tackle a tense subject matter that hit close to home, but I couldn't stop researching and writing. Every minute of living inside Shatter's world felt so real to me. (less)

50 First Chapter Testimonials

A special thank you to Paige Edward, Whitney Hemsath, and Rebecca Chartlon! They have given #50FirstChapters our first testimonials!

As a newbie writer, I spent a lot of time writing and reading about story. I entered a few contests for constructive feedback with less than stellar results. Discouraged, I thought Id give #50FirstChapters a try. Nikki and Heather were able to cover areas of s
