I'm sure the "kids" would disagree. Oh, these young people today! (old Southern expression of woe)<br /><br />LiLa, thanks! I did enter the last first 250 that was open to YA submissions. It changed my life. I'm only slightly exaggerating. ;)<br /><br />cassandrajade, thank you! The WTF can be the most compelling opening, if you know where to go from there.

That's how we ended up getting the best feedback on our first 250 words.

I'm kind of resistant to texting and internet acronyms in general so I don't use them much. I even thought about writing a blog post about it, but thought it might come across as me being snobby. I'm just a nonconformist when it comes to some things. No rational reasoning behind it. It's all part of the crazy lady package.Abby Annishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05543937393055900844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6791084360727373309.post-20234202762399019612009-12-09T12:42:16.295-06:002009-12-09T12:42:16.295-06:00V- I think the WTF? beginning is the most fun, for...V- I think the WTF? beginning is the most fun, for sure. <br /><br />Abby, lol, yes, you are my blog muse! Ah, the journey of insanity. Maybe we can carpool. Roadtrip!<br /><br />And the cryptic comment was my lame attempt at using cool internet acronyms. In English, it should read, "Off-topic, but for your information, as far as I know The Lovely Bones is still being given away at Old People Writing for Teens. Need I say more?" ;)<br /><br />Apparently, I did need to say more!Tere Kirklandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13562750950130316280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6791084360727373309.post-89931658277488788792009-12-09T11:45:55.653-06:002009-12-09T11:45:55.653-06:00Did you write this post just for me?

I'm copying this to my writerly toolbox folder so I can refer back to it as I embark on my journey of insanity aka rewrites. <br /><br />And...<br /><i>OT, but FYI, AFAIK TLB is still being given away at OPWFT.
