]]> Comment on Describing Urban Fantasy and YA Trends by madhatter http://emrowan.com/2008/09/01/describing-urban-fantasy-and-ya-trends/#comment-1699 Wed, 14 Dec 2011 06:04:17 +0000 http://emrowan.wordpress.com/?p=75#comment-1699 This is really helpful…I think! I do have a couple questions, if you have a minute to answer them. Say someone (me, cough cough) was writing a book. YA. Set in present times on earth, but there are gods, magic, and the existence of other realms. The general population is not aware of this. Earth exists as a sort of wasteland, a hideaway for people from others realms, to so speak, due to its lack of magical hot spots. It’s told from the perspective of a 17 year old girl, first person. Urban fantasy?

]]> Comment on Creating Your Green List by Ann Benedek http://emrowan.com/2011/10/13/creating-your-green-list/#comment-1694 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 01:30:01 +0000 http://emrowan.com/?p=893#comment-1694 Hello Erin! …. at least, I hope this is the same Erin that wrote such wonderful advice for aspiring YA authors, and that I emailed a few times last year.

This is Ann (Canada)….I haven’t been able to access anything recent on your
E.M.Rowan’s Field Notes until I saw the above for October 2011 … I was a bit worried for awhile, but it looks as though you are still alive and kicking from this recent ‘living green’ article . . . a very interesting and well-written one it is too!

I’m still writing The Novel . . . and took a few university courses in same over the summer. Am now involved in a writer’s workshop through a college here, led by a Canadian author of children’s and YA novels…am going to get him to critique my first draft when completed (soon!!!!).

Are you still writing, Erin? Have you been published? I have missed your writing advice (which I always found helpful) … perhaps you are spending more time on Facebook, which I haven’t joined … although I must say it was good to find you once again in the same old place . . .I’m not very technologically savvy . . . I figure if I can type, I’m doing okay!!! LOL

Would love to hear from you again … the life you seem to be enjoying at the moment sounds enviable….

All the best,
Ann (severn) Benedek
Toronto, Canada

I have never felt this lonely
Need someone to hold me
I am the only girl with no one to love me
I am the only girl standing Alone in the park by a tree
If mysery loves company
Then he must hate me

]]> Comment on LAST CHILD IN THE WOODS by Richard Louv by E. M. Rowan http://emrowan.com/2010/12/11/last-child-in-the-woods-by-richard-louv/#comment-1529 Sat, 11 Dec 2010 15:39:41 +0000 http://emrowan.com/?p=885#comment-1529 DISCUSSION QUESTIONS:

1. As a nonfiction book, LCINW is a different type of book than we usually discuss. But I still think it’s a book that everyone should read. So even though we can’t discuss plot or characters, we can analyze writing style. What did you think of Louv’s style?

2. Louv is trying to persuade us to spend time in nature and introduce our children to nature. Did you find him persuasive? Did he sway you to make changes in your life?

3. What did you think of Louv’s evidence supporting his argument? More than enough, or not enough?

4. What was the most important thing you got out of reading this book?

5. Is there anything Louv could’ve done to improve the book?

6. What was your favorite part of the book?
