Today I started making a chart to organize my writing. Only a few chapters in, I realized that I could not finish writing this novella without some direction of where I was headed. I started copying down what I did have, organizing and editing (slightly) my writing. Not only this, but I also sent out my second through fifth emails, mostly to historical fiction authors or agents specializing in historical fiction. I received a reply back from Laurie Halse Anderson’s assisant and directly from Ruta Sepetys, both advising me on how to write a good historical fiction novel.
Ruta Sepetys’ email was somewhat surprising, as she is a busy and very popular author. In her contact information, it mentioned that she would not be able to reply to readers’ emails, and yet, three days later, her reply sat in my inbox.
