I had the will to write ;). I think it's easy to imagine what happened next: nothing. I know it's terrible. But at least you started writing... that's much better than don't even dare to write. Now you just need to finish the story (easy to say for me^^) ;) Well… I had the will to write ;) . I think it’s easy to imagine what happened next: nothing. I know it’s terrible.

I did squeak by this year, but the story is *FAR* from finished. What about you? Did you participate in NaNo this year? Did you finish? :D Hey Natalia! What a dilemma indeed. -__-

So, I totally agree with you. The only way not to get blocked by this demon is keep on writing - what a dilemma^^'. By the way: did you finish this NaNo?

This story is intense, but beautiful. The other commenters weren't kidding.

]]> Comment on The Death of Courtship in Contemporary YA Lit by aravind http://www.jdmontague.com/ya-lit-killed-courtship.html#comment-173 aravind Mon, 23 May 2011 21:12:14 +0000 http://www.jdmontague.com/ya-lit-killed-courtship.html#comment-173 This post made me think of this difference- Ella Enchanted (the book, published in 1997): protagonist and love interest fall in love over the course of years. They originally are friends, he develops a crush, she eventually does too, then the plot has to be overcome for them to get together, literally a decade or so after they first meet. Ella Enchanted (the movie, made in 2004): protagonist and love interest fall in love over three days, the first three days after they met of course. This isn't just a new trope. It's one that's hit hard and fast. This post made me think of this difference-
