]]> Comment on To Thine Own Self…. by Shirley http://www.shirleydamsgaard.com/2008/05/29/60/#comment-9 Shirley Sun, 01 Jun 2008 15:39:55 +0000 http://www.shirleydamsgaard.com/2008/05/29/60/#comment-9 Thank you, Nikole, for your kind words. There’s nothing more rewarding than to hear that a reader is enjoying Ophelia and Abby!!! And thanks for your best wishes! When it comes to deadlines, I’m one of the world’s luckiest authors—I have a wonderful editor in Sarah Durand at Morrow/Avon. And although there are production schedules to meet, I never feel pressure from her to hurry up and finish. Nope, the pressure all comes from inside of me—I play all sorts of negative head-games with myself, instead of just allowing the story to come through. So as it is with writing each book, I learned something. Be yourself, relax…and write the story!!! Good thing, too!! Book Seven is due in November! Sure hope the girls are chatty with this one!! Take care, Nikole, and I hope you enjoy THE WITCH’S GRAVE in December! Best, Shirley Thank you, Nikole, for your kind words.

I'm glad you've come to this realization and I'd just like to say that I think you are a terrific writer. I love being caught up in the stories you've created, and I love your characters as well. After reading this, I myself feel better as well. I use to love writing, but then I got the feeling of being under pressure I wasn't writing for myself, and I just couldn't get into the minds of my characters! So, I feel for you and as a reader I think I would rather have the author spend more time making the story come to life and stay true to their writing, then go by the deadlines. Good luck!
