Every Wednesday YA Highway ask a question Road Trip Wednesday which I was turned onto by reading a fellow writers blog Unavoidable Awkwardness by Laurie Dennison.
This week’s prompt was: How far would you go to get published? I want to say that I’d do whatever I have to in order to get published and to an extent that is true. I’ll re-read, re-write, revise and as many times as needed to make it that much better but as much as I would love to be published there is one thing I won’t do.
I won’t jeopardize my characters. I know who my characters are. I am willing to make minor adjustments to make them more but their overall self I won’t…can’t change them to fit the publishers needs or desires. That may sound silly but to me that’d be like changing who I am. All of my characters are real to me, they have pasts, feels, needs, dreams, fears, everything and I know it all.
That was very short and to the point but I’m working on my book and the characters I love so they need my attention back. They are rather demanding. Let me know what you think.
