Your book sounds AMAZING! What was your favorite part about writing SHATTER THE SKY?
Rebecca Kim Wells
Future me: My favorite part was finishing it!
Current me, speaking from the depths of second round revisions: Finding those few pages that don't have editorial notes on them (or only two or three, anyway), and sitting back and thinking, "Ah, those are alright!" I definitely enjoy revising a lot more than first drafting--as the words get closer and closer to what I want them to be, I get happier. Sometimes I even have a little glow of "I AM a writer!"
That and writing an unapologetically queer girl in a world that doesn't punish her for it. That was FANTASTIC.
