#kidlit writers, does anyone have suggestions for MG books written in 1st person present tense? I feel that’s the right POV for my WIP, but I’m struggling with the present tense part. I’m hoping by reading done good examples I’ll get in the right mindset. Thank you for your help!

I try that sometimes too, mostly when I have a stronger scene in mine I want to jump to. Today my focus was on chapter 1, so I feel like I had to struggle through it I order to get the MCs voice in my mind. I managed to finish the chapter, so we’ll see what I think of it when I get to revising. 😊

I thought I knew what I wanted to write today. The scene is so clear in my head. Then when I go to type random words appear on the screen and the scene becomes 5 times longer than I want it to be. I know I’ll be able to fix it in revision, but it’s still frustrating. #writing#RoughDraftStruggles

Thanks! I find puzzles fun & relaxing, so it’s a nice break in between writing/editing goals for me. 😊

Puzzle complete! Now, in order to do another puzzle, I have to finish the rough draft of my WIP by 12/31. (Yes, I award my writing accomplishments with puzzles)

Thanks!

Thank you! I’m confident I’ll achieve my puzzle goal, the writing one will be a bit more of a challenge. 😊

#kidlit friends, I have a confession to make. I haven’t been writing. I’ve been working on a puzzle (a very cool Snoopy one). But it’s time I get back to writing, so I have until 8/31 to finish Snoopy, then I have until 12/31 to finish the rough draft of my newest WIP. Wish me luck.
