1 Comment / Ramblings / Leah Cutter

One of the things that I’ve been told I’m good at, in terms of writing, is creating fully rounded secondary characters.

Ramblings / Leah Cutter

Earlier this morning I finished the second draft of “The Popcorn Thief” — the make-it-not-broke draft. Blue ribbon prize at the Kentucky State Fair for ten cobs of the best popping corn I wrote the first draft fast and furious.

I blog about what inspires me both here and over at Book View Cafe. Feel free to comment here or there!. It isn’t just pictures or poetry or the critters who share my yard that inspire me. It’s also music. Like many writers, I can’t listen to music with words while I’m writing. I need
