I have a feeling that if you took to writing, Tanya, you would be successful in whatever genre you chose. As a South Carolinian--the Upstate--I hope our paths cross sometime in the future.

Maybe you're that person!<br /><br />A few times, I've worked on something for that age group, but my protagonists are usually the kids who don't have much. Whenever I bring up a kid who doesn't have access to social media or a drivers license, people tell me I don't know what I'm talking about. Yet a fair number of the kids in the alternative school where I work don't even have electricity in the house, much less internet access, and so many of them don't have access to a vehicle or the drivers ed course you need to get a license.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-993649290245605005.post-31004756522134390542013-08-06T12:38:59.223-04:002013-08-06T12:38:59.223-04:00Paula, thank you for introducing us to Tanya.

I take a long walk. It always helps.Jacqueline Seewaldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09177500620940251009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-993649290245605005.post-51764054401399892212013-08-06T07:03:19.248-04:002013-08-06T07:03:19.248-04:00Paula, what a wonderful tribute your interview is....Paula, what a wonderful tribute your interview is.<br /><br />Tanya, best wishes on long-lasting health. Your comments on social justice are on the mark. I like the image of writers block being similar to Chinese finger trap. Indeed, the more we worry about something, the more the worry becomes the main issue, not the thing we originally worried about.<br /><br />Best in all,<br /><br />~ JimJim Jacksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15090252530437277145noreply@blogger.com
