(But it's the end of the month, so I can't buy it. Boo.)<br /><br />I LOVED <i>Finnikin</i> and <i>Froi</i>, and I'm reading <i>Quintana</i> right now. I need to buy the entire series, because I will most definitely be rereading them.Stephanie Allenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01258321385403403810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3119162506009432262.post-15757739451227387962013-05-22T21:31:35.901-07:002013-05-22T21:31:35.901-07:00I love Melina Marchetta's writing. Sadly, I...I love Melina Marchetta's writing. Sadly, I've only read Jellicoe Road but I will get to her other books, staring with FINNIKIN since I do love fantasy and her writing is extremely GORGEOUS so I can only imagine how good it is. <br /><br />And I'm with you on plots. For some reason, plots only come to me in bits and pieces. They're not always in order and sometimes I have to take to time to put them all together but I'd much rather focus on setting and characters and things like that. I just hope a plot magically appears. *crosses fingers* <br /><br />And I'm super jealous of your weather. It was nice for a few days, then it got extremely hot and humid now it's just rainy and stormy and..ugh. I must be the only writer who doesn't find storms inspiring.

My editor worked on it and I've heard so many rave reviews. She sent me a copy but I haven't read it yet either! Must find more reading time!

I...Yet another glowing endorsement of THE 5TH WAVE. I might have to push it up the TBR list.<br /><br />As for plotting, have you read Stephen King's ON WRITING? If not, you should. He's your kindred spirit when it comes to plots. He believes you should never plot out a novel beforehand because "life doesn't happen in plots." I don't know if I agree 100%, but I've recently discovered the joy of pantsing a novel, and it seemed to work out okay. :)Colin Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03292997431935215499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3119162506009432262.post-58339964430019165002013-05-22T07:51:32.054-07:002013-05-22T07:51:32.054-07:00Everyone seems to be on a big Marchetta kick!
