Hi, I have only read Mary's Song but I think it's really cool. I hope to read more of your books in the future. Anyways what do you do when your writting just kind of seems boring? I like to write stufff to but soemtimes it feels like when I'm writing it just turns out to be sort of boring. And would be boring for anyone who was reading it.

Becca,
Definitely a good idea to overcome "boring".
Every writer has a different process so you will come into your own.
Perhaps you could try writing a basic plot outline. The story has to have a character the reader cares about with a clear goal, and obstacles in front of the goal. Keep asking yourself how can this can go all wrong. Conflict is what keeps the reader engaged. Good luck with it.
