I find it hilarious that anyone would think writing in verse is "lazy writing." <br /><br />I love that Lisa considers herself a "discovery writer"--what a great way to describe that method of writing. I write very much the same way. <br /><br />I love reading verse, and I love writing it. My most recent manuscript is a YA verse novel.Rebecca Gomezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06842712720778708758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8133203161912010188.post-83009988326097252612012-05-16T12:00:50.820-04:002012-05-16T12:00:50.820-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Rebecca Gomezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06842712720778708758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8133203161912010188.post-1243377424916486522012-05-16T09:52:58.192-04:002012-05-16T09:52:58.192-04:00What a terrific interview.
