So guess which classic author I'm updating for the 21st century?Juliet Archerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18371021153879089044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7780182174577095197.post-70028715216630407322011-05-05T15:50:54.470+01:002011-05-05T15:50:54.470+01:00I got into a bit of bother with my first book with...I got into a bit of bother with my first book with not writing what I know...<br />I wrote about an allotment. In the first draft, a keen gardener told me I had wrong plants growing next to each other, things in bloom at the wrong time of year, terrible crops choice. <br />Either I could find out about gardening (a lifetime's pursuit, I felt!), or I could do what I did with draft 2 and just make it winter. Which meant I just had to research leeks. Guess which option I took?Elen Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00445201005486291612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7780182174577095197.post-87866558095580143682011-05-05T15:21:48.179+01:002011-05-05T15:21:48.179+01:00Thanks Lynne.

My first kids book (A Book For Bramble) features a hedgehog and came from my work helping these cute animals (www.hertshogline.com) <br /><br />So yes if anyone wants to start to write I agree 100% - write about what you know.Lynne Garnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05697330164705623835noreply@blogger.com
