Are You Writing a Book?

Hi everybody!

I'm teaching writing classes on this year! The first two classes are live now, and I'm about to post the third one. If you're a writer or an aspiring writer, I hope you'll head over there and take a look.

Also--I'd love to know what you're struggling with, what your own personal roadblocks are--so that I can address them in a future class.

It's been a lot of fun for me to e Read more of this blog post »

Amy answered Daa_of_night's question: Not a question, an appreciation. The first book made my jaw drop. The five ensuing novels kept me entertained for an entire weekend recovering from sprained ankles. My only complaint is the wait time for the next installment. Thank you for staying true to the mindset of the times. It makes no sense to inject modern philosophy into a historic setting. You have avoided that trap beautifully. How hard was that? Thanks so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed it. There are seven total in the series, so you might have one more to read? Anyway, I was very aware of the exact issue you're raising. I wanted these books to sound like they were written in the 1910s. I read See Full Answer

Quotes by Amy Stewart (?)

“But gardening is none of that, really. Strip away the gadgets and the techniques, the books and the magazines and the soil test kits, and what you're left with, at the end of the day, is this: a stretch of freshly turned dirt, a handful of seeds scratched into the surface, and a marker to remember where they went. It is at the same time an incredibly brave and an incredibly simple thing to do, entrusting your seeds to the earth and waiting for them to rise up out of the ground to meet you.”
