I get a lot of questions from readers and aspiring writers about what my "process" is. Today I started writing my next book, so I figured I should write a post about how I begin. (Note, though, that I started the actual reporting a long time ago.)
So this is what I've done so far today:
ALEXANDRA'S WRITING PROCESS:
1) Write three sentences.
2) Snack time!
3) Write a paragraph. Woo!
4) Still hungry. W... Read more of this blog post »

| I don't usually rate books because reading is so subjective that one person's 1-star can be another's 4-star. But darned if this book didn't catch my heart, keep me up at night, and linger. The topic isn't one I'd typically read, but the characters a...more | |

............................................ Hi Alexandra!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you for your friendship!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Happy reading!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm a college senior, and I just wanted to tell you after I read Overachievers, I got to feel better about myself. I am no where near the level of most of the students in your book, but I feel like the overachievers, and the things they're struggling with is very over looked. I used it as a topic starter in one of my education classes.
